Anyone with a decorative porch goose knows how much a little statue can brighten your entryway! After all, a porch goose can be dressed to fit any holiday or seasonal color palette. This makes your porch décor fun to change to keep it fresh and interesting.
To help you dress your goose for the entire year with style, here is a month-by-month practical guide for seasonal porch goose outfits along with some tips to preserve those cute costumes.
January – Cozy Winter Warmth
For the first month of the year, your goose can be styled with soft, snuggly layers! A goose dressed with a mini scarf, beanie, and faux fleece vest can help bring comfort to any winter day and winter goose can be kept outside!
Pro tip: While layers can be fashioned with weather-resistant fleece or polyester to keep the outfit in shape, fleece and polyester are not suitable to be used in snowy or damp conditions.
February – Sweetheart Season
Valentine’s Day is time for red and pink décor! A heart patterned apron can be made, or dressed with a felt rose or bowtie can be added to goose costumes for a romantic touch.
Style tip: Goose outfits can be coordinated with a red door wreath or pink porch flowers to create a festive look.
March – Welcome Spring
With the arrival of spring, a change of palette is in order. Embrace the colors of spring – greens and yellows. For a playful springtime look, consider raincoat, rubber boot, and mini umbrella props.
Weather Tip: For the chilly showers of early spring, consider light water-proofing spray to keep up the brightness of the colors.
April – Easter Cheer
Make your goose the center of attention and put some festive Easter bonnet or bunny ears. Complete the look with a pastel apron that has Easter eggs or chicks and a dotted apron for some trend.
Storage Tip: For next year’s celebration of Easter, put the decorative items that may break, like bunny ears or ribbons, in a labeled dry box.
May – Garden Goose
Now is the time for floral prints and garden goose celebration! Complete the look with a mini basket filled with faux flowers.
Fabric Tip: For this time of year, light spring days, light cotton or polyester blends or even a combination of the two will do.
June – Summer Kickoff
Put your goose in a festive summer outfit with a beach towel wrap and complete the look with sun glasses and a beach patches or even a beach outfit.
Protection Tip: Use UV-resistant fabric spray to prevent garments from fading in the sun.
July – Stars and Stripes
For the patriot of your goose, try a festive outfit with a vest or dress in the colors of the flag and red, blue, and white fabrics or complete the look with a mini flag for the Fourth of July.
Here’s a pro-tip — after an extremely hot day, bold colors and whites should be washed separately to avoid bleeding.
August – Backyard Vibes
Light cottons should be worn, and barbecues should be light and casual. For lazy summer afternoons, an apron themed to a lemonade stand is perfect.
Style tip: For a cohesive look, match your goose to outdoor cushions or a tablecloth in a similar color.
September – Autumn Arrival
With the arrival of fall, bring out the plaid goodies – comfy scarves, mini sweaters, and felt hats. Shades of rust, gold, and brown are perfect to channel with pumpkins and mums.
Storage tip: Before storing summer clothes away for the season, wash and pack away the summer pieces so you can start rotating older outfits.
October – Spooky Season
With Halloween, costume creativity knows no bounds! Conjure outfits with ghost capes, witch hats, and pumpkin capes!
Durability tip: For outdoor themed displays, use sturdy and weatherproof polyester felt as it withstands outdoor elements and holds vibrant colors.
November – Harvest and Thanks
Thanksgiving can be celebrated with warm earth tones. A pilgrim-inspired vest or turkey feather accessory adds a simple yet cozy touch.
Organization tip: To keep off-season outfits from getting mildew, use airtight bins as accumulated moisture will cause mildew to form as colder temperatures set in.
December – Festive Finale
Finish off the year by adding in some joy and sparkle. A Santa coat or costume, and an elf costume are perfect, or even a red plaid blanket cape for your goose.
Weather tip: To keep warm, use lined fabrics, or light waterproofing works for protecting against snow and sleet.
Additional Tips for Goose Style for Every Season
Having a rotation plan ensures fun and easy memories. Every first of the month, change outfits for the goose.
Choose resilient fabrics. Polyester, outdoor canvas, and acrylic felt are the most moisture and sun resistant.
Label and store strategically. Pack outfits monthly and by theme into resealable bags for easy changes.
