How to Dress Your Best for Picnics

No picnic is complete without the perfect outfit. Whether you’re spreading a blanket in Central Park or hosting a sun-drenched lunch in the Hamptons, the perfect picnic outfit strikes a balance between relaxed and refined. At Clic, we’ve curated a few of our favorite pieces from brands that make getting dressed feel effortless yet thoughtful.

 

There’s something about a summer dress that makes everything feel lighter and Hope for Flowers captures that feeling with ease. Designed by Tracy Reese, the line features feminine silhouettes with conscious craftsmanship at its core. Try the Full Slip Dress in Lilac Laburnum. Its painterly florals that feel just right for a picnic on the grass.  It is floaty, breathable, and made to move with you ideal for lounging, walking barefoot, or reaching for that last piece of blueberry tart.

 

 

For a more tailored yet low-key look, Secular offers pieces with architectural simplicity. Think crisp poplin shirts, structured yet relaxed trousers, and layers that can be dressed up or down. Their elevated Trinity Top in Lavender is perfect if you’re the kind of picnic-goer who prefers linen napkins over paper ones and brings a bottle of natural wine in tow.

 

 

Even on a warm day, evenings can turn breezy. That’s where Maiami comes in. Their hand-knit mohair cardigans are the cozy-chic layer your picnic basket didn’t know it needed. We love the contrast of pairing something light and sheer with soft, textured knitwear in dreamy pastels. Our faviortie choice for this summer is the Mohair Bomber Cardigan in Ombre. A light pastel rainbow color is our pick to wear all summer long. Drape it over your shoulders or use it as a makeshift blanket Maiami’s knits are both beautiful and practical.
