One of my favorite things about spring? Picnic weather! My favorite picnic spot in Nashville has to be Centennial Park. My husband and I had our very first date there 12 years ago and since then we go a few times a year to enjoy the spring sunshine, flowers, and 70-degree temps before Nashville’s awful humidity hits.
Today I’m going to share what to wear for a picnic date at the park. This shoot was so much fun and I’m obsessed with how the photos turned out!
Spring Style: What to Wear for a Picnic Date at the Park
Keep It Comfortable
You’re going to be sitting on a picnic blanket on the ground so you definitely want to dress in something comfortable. I love this Sea Dress because not only is it a gorgeous color for spring, but it’s literally the most comfortable dress in my closet. I can sit cross-legged or lay on my back without being limited.



Wear Something on the Bottom
Like I said above, you’re on the ground during a picnic so you want to keep your lady bits covered. Under my dresses, I almost always have on a pair of bike shorts. They cover everything that needs to be covered and aren’t bulky under clothing. You could always forego a dress and wear something more comfortable like an activewear set or AGOLDE denim shorts and a tee.



Don’t Forget the Accessories
If you’re going to be in the sun, I always recommend wearing sunglasses and a hat. A wide-brim hat is always my hat of choice during a picnic because you’re not constantly squinting and provides a lot of coverage from the sun. Of course, flats are recommended (like these Sam Edelman flats) but if you want to dress up, wear a chunky heel like Loeffler Randall, so you can walk easier on the grass.

What a cute and comfy picnic look. I love it! I think we missed the peak season for picnicking here in my city. The bugs are already out in full force and the pollen is so bad it only takes two seconds outside before I can’t breathe haha!! I’m envious of your fun little picnic here 🙂
::sigh:: I miss having a good picnic in the park…hopefully sometime this year! Love the look…perfect for the occasion! xoxo, Sarah
