This is What to Wear for a Beach Picnic

Stick to the classics. Yes, I said that! At least for the beach picnic

Sick of chewing that salad in the city cafeteria while your friends are having fun on the beach? You know what? That was me a few days ago. Until I decided to get some food, stash it into my picnic basket, grab my pink picnic blanket, put on something chic, head on to the beach and have a beach picnic instead.

PICNIC ON THE BEACH SECOND TIME AROUND

Remember my very first picnic on the beach? Please, say no! Becuase that picnic was not even p of a picnic. It was a total disaster. Everything went wrong. I forgot the food, almost sprained my ankle and had a hard time sitting on that rocky beach. On top of that, I made a fashion faux pas by coming to my first picnic on the beach dressed inappropriately. Well, it was only my first beach picnic. So I guess we can blink with one eye, right?

Whatsoever, a year later I decided to correct my beach picnic faux pas and make a decent picnic on the beach. Read: I finally got the legit picnic basket, brought some food and moreover got dressed for a picnic on the beach as a fashion gal should.

So yes, this time for real. I can finally tell you exactly how and what to wear for a picnic on the beach. Because, darling dear, I nailed this picnic on the beach. Well, at least it felt so.

WHAT TO WEAR FOR A PICNIC ON THE BEACH

As said, after I almost sprained my ankle when walking to my picnic spot on the rocky beach a year ago, I made sure to dress appropriately this time. More casually. I mean one lousy beach picnic was enough.

Honestly, I still don’t know what on earth was I thinking when putting on a long chiffon skirt and wedged espadrilles for a picnic on a rocky beach last year. Not mentioning the grey slip top that didn’t match the yellow skirt as good as I wish it would.

Whatsoever, enough about that look. I learned my lesson last year and apparently didn’t make the same fashion faux pas again. I dressed picnic appropriately this time. Furthermore fashionable too.

DON’T TAKE RISKS FOR A BEACH PICNIC AND WEAR CLASSICS

So what to wear for a picnic on a beach? How to dress appropriately for a beach picnic? Like I did of course! Oh, you have no idea how happy writing this makes me feel.

Thinking better, I played safe with this beach picnic outfit. After all we could say I put on a classic beach outfit. I mean what would be a more classic outfit to wear for a picnic on the beach than linen clothes?

Nevertheless, this picnic outfit is, as mentioned earlier, quite fashionable for summer 2021. Just check the details! I’m wearing a paper bag shorts, a basket bag, and beige. And under the linen crop top a one side shoulder bikini top. Seems like I gave a proper fashionable uplift to this classic beach picnic outfit, don’t you think?

Anyway, to wrap up, if you want to feel comfortable while sitting on your picnic blanket, smelling the salty sea and feeling the light breeze on your face, stick to the classics. You can bring a modern, fashionable feel to a classic linen outfit, with some details. Like I did, with the paper bag waist, one side shoulder bikini top, cat-eye sunglasses and basket bag.

By the way, this outfit is not only the best beach picnic outfit but a great outfit to wear on the first date at the beach too.

LINEN CROP TOP

You have seen me wearing this linen crop top just the other day with straight-leg jeans. This top is from Storets and came as a set with the paper bag shorts that I’m also wearing this time. But is unfortunately already sold out. Whatsoever, here is a linen crop top I like even better. You can also get a similar linen crop top to the one I’m wearing from Storets, only without the straps (see here).

ONE SIDE SHOULDER BIKINI TOP

Under the linen top, I’m wearing red striped one side shoulder bikini from Calzedonia. Unfortunately sold out. But you can get a similar bikini top here. Or this one from Ganni (shop here) that comes in a leopard print. Which is, by the way, the most fashionable print of the season for swimwear.

PAPER BAG SHORTS

As said, since the linen top I’m wearing, and these paper bag shorts came as a set, these shorts are sold out too. But you can get similar linen shorts for the same price here. Or here another paper bag shorts, that are slightly more pricey. Still, the quality will pay off. Besides linen shorts are a classic and therefore worthy of a splurge.

BASKET BAG AND PICNIC BASKET

Guess what? I finally got a proper picnic basket. Isn’t it just adorable? It’s rather small but big enough for 2. Still, you don’t need a bigger basket for a romantic picnic on the beach. You surely don’t want uninvited guests on your beach picnic, do you?

Well if you do, here are some bigger picnic baskets too.

STRAW HAT

The straw hat is from H&M. And it was one of my worst buys ever. I don’t recommend you to buy a straw hat from H&M. It doesn’t hold the shape. Better get this sunhat here. Or even better a bucket hat (here), which is a more fashionable choice for summer 2021. Still, if you really don’t want to splurge on a hat and don’t care about the shape; you can shop H&M straw hat over here. But don’t say I didn’t warn you later.

MORE SUMMER PICNICS AND MORE BEACH DATE OUTFITS

And? How do you like my picnic beach outfit? Did I nail this picnic on the beach or not? You must admit this picnic looks far better than the one I had last year. Ps. In case you missed my last year’s picnic on the rocky beach, you missed it. It is, however, coming in my exclusive fashion fax pas series before the next fashion month. For subscribers only. So make sure you subscribe to Brunette from Wall Street newsletter.

Nevertheless, this picnic wasn’t spotless. Literally writing. I spilt the champagne on the picnic blanket. Luckily I didn’t get dirty and was able to wear these shorts to the city afterwards. But the smell of the champagne was so strong that it made me feel so sick.

Anyway, as said I wore these shorts to the city afterwards. Check my Instagram and LIKEtoKNOW.it to see that outfit. I changed the top and shoes. No matter how fashionable luxe pool slides are, you won’t see me wearing them in the city. Obviously, a seaside city doesn’t count.

Whatsoever, we are still on the beach and talking about this outfit I wore for my first legit picnic on the beach. But do take a look at more of my picnic outfits. You know I have picnics all year long. And everywhere. Ps. Check more beach date outfitsBy the way, what is your favourite picnic location? Have you ever had a beach picnic?
