10 Picnic Outfit Ideas for Ladies 

Check out these picnic outfit ideas for ladies below based on the weather, and feel free to add an extra layer if needed. If you want some outfit inspo, our ten picnic looks are just perfect for warm and lovely fall days.

Oversized Sweater with Baggy Jeans

When choosing picnic wear, consider the setting and the weather. Sometimes, the temperature can feel more like summer during the fall, but it is usually quite chilly. That's why we recommend the Brushed Alpaca Knit from House of Dagmar with the Relaxed Baggy Jeans Ayla from Citizens of Humanity for a perfect outfit for your evening fall picnics. Complete the look with boots or sneakers to stay comfortable while you enjoy the relaxing atmosphere.

Leisurewear with Sneakers

If you prioritize comfort and there's no specific dress code, opt for cozy leisurewear and your favorite sneakers. The Highneck relaxed-fit pullover paired with Fine knit sweatpants by FTC Cashmere makes for an ideal outfit for your picnic. Complete the look with a trendy pair of Curly-effect wool sneakers Lipari, and you're all set.

Trench Coat with Jeans 

Trench makes any outfit look more classy, so if you opt for something less laid-back but still casual, this look is for you. The Short trench coat Eeve we pair with the Loose-fit straight jeans and layer this mix with the Contrast-trim cotton t-shirt Farreh. Take your spacious tote, flats and join your friends in Hyde Park. 

Dress with a Denim Jacket 

Are you going on a picnic date? We have just the look! We're mixing an elegant Knitted cashmere dress by Erika Cavallini with the edgy Oversized denim jacket Charli by Agolde. Unexpected? Yes, but that's the point. You don't want to look too polished—after all, it's a picnic—but you still want to stun your date with your appearance.

Dress with Chelsea Boots

Something more simple but timeless. The Ribbed knit midi dress in a neutral beige hue we pair with the Leather Chelsea boots Bethel. Cinch the dress with a wide belt if you feel like it or keep it clean and minimalist as it is.

Preppy Theme

Preppy outfits work both for a day in the office and for picnic chill-outs, so it's easy to plan the day without worrying about an additional look. The High-rise straight jeans 90's Pinch we pair with the Patch-pocket striped shirt and layer the Knitted waistcoat on top. Finish the look with a pair of loafers, and add understated accessories if you feel like it.

Knit Set

It's all about being snug but staying in trend, as vibrant textures reminiscent of the countryside are currently raging. Erika Cavallini's stylish set—the Roundneck boucle sweater and the Knitted boucle skirt—speaks comfort and minimalist vibes. To give even more attitude to this outfit, add a pair of Band slippers. Faux shearling is also a must this season.

Midi Skirt and Cardigan

If you plan a picnic aesthetic photoshoot, try this chic mix: an A-lined silk skirt with a Textured round-neck cardigan, a pair of ballet flats, and a straw bag. Be yourself and enjoy the process like you would on a real picnic!

Stripe Sweater with Trousers 

How about a picnic with a French ambiance? The Roundneck stripe sweater Felicity by Lisa Yang gives this special Parisian charm to any look. Wear the Straight-leg wool trousers as a bottom, and you have the perfect combination to transition between city strolls and picnic chilling.

Bomber with Black Jeans 

Another transition outfit from the street to the picnic mood: Agolde's High-rise straight Riley long jeans paired with the Roundneck fine-knit top Rowen and layered with Moose Knuckles' Quilted bomber jacket Toussaint on top. Simple and versatile, this look is easy to accessorize and transform for different events.

Things to Consider for Picnic Wear 

Feel free to express your style when choosing your outfit for a picnic. However, there are essential factors to consider when deciding on the best attire for you.

• Style of Clothing: Picnics typically have a casual or semi-casual atmosphere. Therefore, it's best to avoid wearing overly formal clothing, such as tailored suits. Opt for an outfit that prioritizes comfort and allows easy movement.
• Type of Fabric: Choose fabrics that can handle the weather. For fall picnics, use heavier fabrics such as denim, corduroy, cotton, wool, cashmere, and even leather.
• Picnic Activities: If you plan to play outdoor games and engage in physical activities like frisbee or running during your picnic, wear an outfit that allows you to move comfortably and choose sturdy footwear.
• Picnic Location: Keep the picnic location in mind when picking your outfit. For an outdoor picnic, consider layering your clothes, especially near a river or lake. If you're heading to a mountain or hilltop, bring a jacket. And if you're going to a local park, opt for a simple outfit and avoid any fancy additions.
• Time of the Day: As the weather gets cooler in the fall, it's essential to have warmer clothing for a picnic later in the day. However, if you plan to stay outside in the middle of the day when the sky is clear, remember to bring sunglasses and floppy hats for sun protection.
• Occasion: Certain events require following a dress code. At a corporate work picnic, minis, tight skirts, and shorts would not be suitable, but these pieces would be perfectly fine for casual meetings.
