The best thing about weekends is just making an excuse to be able to laze the day away with your nearest and dearest—just eating, playing, and lounging your best to melt the stress of the workweek away. Even if you aren't the queen of grillin', you can still look like the belle of the BBQ with our summer cookout essentials. We've rounded up the goods for hosting your own al fresco soirée, and whether you're planning on flipping patties or just chillin' on the turf, here are some stylish outfits and accessories to have you looking good while stuffing your face. So crank up the tunes, fire up the grill, and get out those horseshoes, 'cause it's time for a cookout! Just don't forget to use insect repellent, otherwise those newly-tanned gams will end up looking like polka-dot tights. Trust us, they're vicious.
