Going for a picnic is the plan everyone’s into. And if you haven’t done it yet, you’re missing out on something big. Whether it’s with friends, a romantic date or any kind of occasion, it’s a must-do plan. Eating and drinking outdoors in the best company in one of Madrid’s most spectacular parks needs no further introduction.
So you can enjoy the plan in the best possible conditions, we’re going to give you a few ideas to dress appropriately.
Shirts in bright colours
You have to be bold with eye-catching prints and bright colours while you still can. Some brands offer a red checked shirt made from linen — meaning maximum comfort — that would look spectacular in El Retiro or at the Temple of Debod watching the sunset with that special someone.
If you want to take it a step further, there are shirts that bring a modern vision to the classic shirt, freely using floral or fruit prints to create elegant, daring patterns that give you a top-notch look.
Slacks
Classic chinos are back in fashion, and we couldn’t be happier. In beige, grey or navy tones, they’re a symbol of elegant dressing. Go for stretchy, regular-fit slacks that let you move without any trouble. You’ll be able to walk to the picnic spot and move with complete freedom — because for a picnic, comfort is essential.
Sneakers
For footwear, we recommend trainers that suit your stride and can hold up for as long as you need them to. If picnics have one thing, it’s that they can go on for a long time, and the more comfortable you are, the better. None of those running shoes you haven’t used in 5 months.
There are some lovely sneaker lines out there that use very eye-catching colour patterns — without going overboard — and are made from quality materials. Pick a pair that’s both modern and comfortable.
