If there’s ever been a time to pack a hamper full of delicious food and wine, now is it! Nothing says summer quite like a picnic and there is an added element of joy to being outside in nature and enjoying food and good times with friends. The casual nature of a picnic occasion means that we love to opt for an outfit that encourages comfort, and most importantly, all-day grazing. This means items like denim shorts and breezy sun dresses are the perfect option; easy to style pieces that will feel good all day long.
To inspire your picnic prepping we have gathered together some of our favourite casually cute items to get you in the mood for outdoor dressing. (hero image with thanks to @trashtotreasured)
Denim shorts
Denim is one of those comfy versatile fabrics that suits every occasion. This summer, introduce a pop of colour and pattern to your denim shorts with a new season party shirt. Leather slides are always a good option to give your denim that extra edge, but of course you also can’t go wrong with white Veja sneakers as well.

Sun dresses
After months of casual stay-at-home attire, slipping on a relaxed sun dress will feel like a dream. This season, there are so many options to choose from, it’s likely you’ll live in nothing else but a rotation of different designs from smock dresses with puff sleeves to strappy linen styles, cut-out variations, shirred numbers, shirt dresses…
Gingham dresses
Gingham will always have a place in our wardrobe and especially during picnic season. Whether mini or maxi length, the gingham pattern is a statement in itself so let it do all the heavy lifting. Pair it back with simple gold jewellery for an elevated touch and don’t forget to add tinted sunglasses to finish your look.

White dresses
A white dress paired with some slides and a cute hat is a sunny summer day wrapped up in an outfit. Granted it’s a risky option when food and drinks are involved, it’s still one of our favourite looks for picnics and barbecues. Our top tip: stick to linen options that are easier to care for and for stubborn spills or stains, natural fibres can be dyed at home if you’re feeling crafty.
