Picnic season is upon us! Get ready for every outdoor summery meal by picking up a few pretty picnic outfits now. Because once Memorial Day comes, you’ll be too busy to shop…

1. Beaded Beauty Romper

Rompers and jumpsuits are so in this season. We love this romper because it’s simple but very elegant (it would be ideal for an evening date picnic), and it will allow you to bend with ease. Pick from the pale green or the orchid hue. This jumpsuit would look great with a small, wedged heel and a chunky necklace (similar to the one pictured above). Priced at $168.

2. Summertide Swing Dress

We love this maxi dress because it’s long and flowing. And because it’s long and flowing, it’s a breeze to move around in. Also: This dress’ color scheme is on-point. To turn heads: pair with strapy wedges. To stay comfy: slap on a pair of simple, black flip flops and join in the game of Frisbee. Priced at $99.95 from Anthropologie

3. Basically Cool Top in White and The Day We Meadow Shorts

Nothing beats a great pair of trendy, high-waisted shorts and a simple white tank top when you’re outside all day long. Both these pieces come from ModCloth. While each piece is simple, they feature enough unique details (just look at those flowers) to make the wearer subtly standout. Wear with a pair of boho Birkenstocks to complete the look. The shirt is $19.99 and the shorts are $44.99.

4. J. Crew Casual Dress

This strapless sundress is the perfect attire for a summer solstice picnic. It’s simple, sunny, and strapless — our three favorite things! Complete the look with a pair of strapy gladiator sandals — be prepared for a ton of compliments. Priced at $31.99 from ThredUp.

5. Free People Casual Dress

This casual dress is incredibly beautiful and the appropriate amount of flirty, classy, and simple. This is another dress that would pair well with the on-trend, modern Birki’s, or no-heel sandals. Beaded, dangling jewelry is a must with this look. Also: Because this dress is from ThredUp, it’s much cheaper than its original, Free People price tag. Priced at $25.99.

Other accessories to consider pairing with these picnic outfits include:

Fringed bags

Sunglasses

Do you have any picnic outfits that you always wear? I tend to be a cut-off jean short and simple t-shirt kind of girl. I like to keep it simple because I often spill wine or ketchup on myself… Have you bought any new picnic outfits for the upcoming summer season?

Life on two wheels. 

EcoSalon reader Kristin Bott rocks a sundress at the Portland Short Track Series.

As she puts it, “It rains for nine months of the year in Portland. Not an exaggeration. So when summer comes, the whole city celebrates. Every year, the folks behind the Portland Short Track Series  have a ‘summer casual night’ when they encourage racers to ‘Leave the lycra at home and come race in your Monday best’- casual threads: oversized surf trunks, colorful skirts, double-rainbow tie dye tees, knitted socks… anything goes. I lack tie-dyes and surf trunks, but I do have a couple of sundresses, and I rarely wear skirts, but it seemed a good fit.”
