What To Wear For Your Next Outdoor Catch-Up – Park, Pub Or Picnic

As every woman worth her picnic blanket and weather app knows, dressing for an outdoor meet-up is a true art form. You need an outfit that you can lounge on the floor or perch on a bench in for hours, meaning there can’t be any awkward waistbands or strained hemlines. And thanks to the Great British springtime, you need to dress for sun, wind and rain (often all at the same time).

This is not to say that a practical outfit can’t be super on-trend and make you look as good as you feel. We’ve had a year of dressing down – it’s time to show up and show off! Thankfully, Simply Be – masters of matching style and trend with fit – has already considered all these concerns and more.
