The Picnic Date Trend Is Taking Over and These Dresses Were Made for It

There’s something about a picnic that makes us romanticise everything. A blanket under the trees, white wine on ice, picky bits in a woven basket. While the blanket might be optional, the perfect picnic dress is not.

This season, it’s all about relaxed silhouettes, breathable cottons, ditsy florals, and nostalgic gingham prints. Whether you’re stretching out in the sunshine or reaching for another handful of crisps and dip, these dresses nail the brief for picnic-perfect style.

With it's textured shirred bodice and softly flared skirt, our new Black Check Bandeau Midi Dress is the definition of effortless cool. The classic black and white gingham brings timeless charm, while the drop waist adds a trendy twist that keeps it feeling fresh. With the option to wear it with or without straps and crafted from breathable fabric, it’s a this-season staple you’ll keep coming back to for every picnic invite.

The gingham dress with the perfect amount of puff and polish. This style is dropping in two must-have colour ways: a playful pink and a classic black gingham. With puff sleeves, a shirred back for comfort, and a soft A-line midi skirt, it’s made for sunny picnic dates, lounging on the grass, and that one ice cream you definitely deserve.

Make it a mini. Our Red Floral Puff Sleeve Mini Dress combines a vintage inspired ditsy print with a playful shape. Featuring puff sleeves, a round neckline, and a lightly flared skater skirt, this one’s made for twirling between picnic blankets and reaching for seconds from the snack basket.

Our new Cotton Bardot Midi Dress (in black or white) is pure picnic date romance. With off-the-shoulder styling, a shirred bodice, and an airy, flowing skirt that moves beautifully while you’re finding the perfect spot in the park. The unlined cotton feels light and breathable - perfect for those unexpected heatwaves.

Picnic dates call for comfort, and cotton is as breathable as it gets. It keeps you cool and feels soft against the skin - perfect for long, lazy afternoons. 

Think throw-on-and-go dresses that don’t require fuss. Shirred bodices, elasticated waists, and A-line skirts offer just the right amount of shape while still letting you breathe, stretch, and snack comfortably.

Ditsy florals and gingham have a nostalgic charm that just works for laid back summer styling. Whether you go monochrome or something more playful, these prints instantly make your look feel more intentional, even if you only took five minutes to get dressed.

Removable straps, relaxed skirts, and pull-on fits mean these dresses aren’t just pretty - they’re practical, too. You can sit cross legged on the picnic blanket or hop up for a round of rounders without thinking twice.
