I’m Planning a Fall Picnic Gathering With My Friends—Here’s My Outfit Vision

One thing I love the most about summer is all of the outdoor gatherings like BBQs, concerts, pool parties, and, most importantly, picnics. It’s for that very reason I’m going to do my best to carry picnic plans with friends and family straight into fall. The looks will naturally be much cozier thanks to the cooler weather that my favorite time of year brings. With all of this in mind, I already started hunting down the perfect fall picnic outfit inspiration.

I envision a variety of get-togethers that each emanates a different vibe. Think of everything from laid-back plans decked out in casual pieces like activewear, jeans, and sneakers to more elevated affairs with polished sweaters, pretty dresses, and more.
