Fall is here, and with it comes all the cozy activities we've been dreaming about since summer began. Whether you're planning a day at the apple orchard, hosting friends for a baking session, or gathering around a warm campfire, finding the right modest outfit can make these moments even more special.
At The Main Street Exchange, we believe that modest fashion should never mean compromising on style or comfort. That's why we've curated the perfect outfit combinations for five beloved fall activities. Each look balances coverage with contemporary style, ensuring you feel confident and comfortable no matter what autumn adventure awaits.
APPLE PICKING: CLASSIC CHARM MEETS ORCHARD
There's something beautiful about wandering through apple orchards on a crisp fall day. The key to the perfect apple picking outfit is combining style with practicality – you'll want pieces that move with you as you reach for those perfect apples while looking effortlessly put-together for all those Instagram-worthy orchard photos.
The Gingham Dream
Our 'Wilder' Tiered Gingham Cotton Midi Dress is perfect for apple picking. The classic gingham pattern captures that timeless fall aesthetic, while the tiered design adds movement and visual interest. The midi length provides perfect coverage for walking through grass and climbing on ladders, and the cotton fabric breathes beautifully during those unexpectedly warm autumn afternoons.
Layered Perfection
For those who love to layer, try combining our 'Kerry' Cotton Denim Overshirt with the 'Parker' High Waist Raw Edge Denim Skirt in Alabaster and the 'Moab' High Neck Ribbed Top. This combination gives you the versatility to adjust your coverage throughout the day. The high-neck ribbed top provides excellent coverage, while the denim overshirt adds that perfect casual-chic feel. The high-waisted skirt elongates your silhouette and pairs beautifully with both pieces.
Sweet and Simple

The ribbed texture provides stretch and comfort, making this dress ideal for a day spent on your feet in the kitchen.
CAMPFIRE NIGHTS: WARMTH AND STYLE UNDER THE STARS
There's something absolutely magical about gathering around a campfire as the evening air turns crisp. Your campfire outfit needs to provide warmth and coverage while still looking stylish enough for those golden-hour photos and cozy evening conversations.
