How to dress for a picnic? The perfect outfit to show off in August

From gingham to San Gallo lace, natural sandals, and straw bags. The outfit for a day in the countryside, a picnic with friends or a boyfriend.

August is the most suitable month to organize a picnic before the rhythms of the city resume in September. Once the menu is organized (rice salad, finger food in a jar and fresh fruit salads to accompany with a few bubbles) and you have taken the necessary care to prepare a comfortable setting (heavy cotton plaid and cushions of all shapes), the time comes to choose what to wear. Here films can be an excellent inspiration for the perfect outfit for a picnic with relatives, friends or with your boyfriend.

On a mountain slope, alongside a stream, or on the gentle hills among the vineyards, a picnic is always an excellent idea. Today it has also become fashionable, since it leads to direct contact with nature: a pleasant moment of relaxation among leafy branches, bushes and blooming flowers. So, the occasion requires comfy clothes, nothing that can force or limit movements. A green light to cigarette trousers and mom jeans to be worn with a white shirt or a linen top: the image is of Audrey Hepburn in the 1956 film Arianna. The young woman wears iconic ballerinas, while her hair is tied tight in two nice pigtails with bows.

The choice of fabrics is important: fashion points to gingham and botanical or floral patterns. For those wishing to wear a dress, we suggest large poplin skirts, wrap-around or dressing gown models such as the girls from Hanging Rock. The total white Victorian style is in fact in vogue with its wide cuffs, trimmings, and San Gallo lace. The final look is of Grace Kelly in The Thief Hunt: Alfred Hitchcock's beautiful muse guides Cary Grand on the French Riviera for a sea view picnic. The actress wears a candy pink suit, a tone-on- tone scarf and carries a straw basket.
