Summer Picnics, the Ralph Lauren Way

What to bring, and what to wear, for a more elegant approach to outdoor dining.

Ralph Lauren has long encouraged us to live cinematically by bringing a sense of romance and style into the every-day. Naturally, that involves gatherings around the table—or in the case of summer, the picnic blanket.

Whether at a wind-swept beach, a countryside retreat, or among the hydrangeas of Hyannis, dining al fresco is an art form. And while menu and company remain the most important elements, the style of the affair can elevate a picnic from casual summer hosting into something much more elegant.

Consider an elevated picnic basket and accouterments in woven wicker, saddle leather, and signature hardware to set the table, or the blanket. The summer staples of casual, yet refined style serve as an ideal dress code: soft chambray, washed denim, crisp cotton, and perhaps a bit of cable-knit cashmere as insurance against the evening breeze. All that remains to consider is, which bottle to open first?
