Pique Nique 2025 - Style Guide
It's easy being GREEN when you're fabulous!
Green - it's not just a color — it's a vibe!!! Think lush meadows, garden parties, bayou elegance, and natural beauty. This style guide is your go-to for dressing smart, staying cool, and standing out in shades of verdant wonder as you traverse Pique Nique 2025.
THE SETTING: SECRET & SPECTACULAR
Imagine moss-draped oaks, soft grass underfoot, the sounds of cicadas and jazz in the air. Since this is an outdoor Louisiana affair, be prepared for sun, humidity, and a touch of mystery.
DRESS CODE: ALL THINGS GREEN
The dress code is Green in All Its Glory. This can mean sage, lime, emerald, olive, jade, pistachio, or mint — monochrome or mixed — as long as the spirit of green is honored.​
WOMEN’S STYLE NOTES
1. Green Goddess Energy:
Float through the picnic in a breezy sage maxi dress, a mint slip dress with delicate straps, or a wrap dress with floral accents. Linen, cotton, and light chiffon are your best friends.
2. Chic Separates:
Pair high-waisted olive shorts with a moss-colored eyelet blouse or try a kelly green skirt with a mint lace top and green accessories.
3. Statement Accessories:
-
Headwraps or floral crowns in varying green hues
-
Beaded necklaces with natural stones like jade or peridot
-
Woven handbags or picnic baskets with green accents
4. Footwear Tips:
Choose cute but practical — strappy sandals, espadrilles, or stylish flats. Avoid stilettos (grass = sinkholes).
​
MEN’S STYLE NOTES
1. Southern Dandy Meets Modern Cool:
Linen button-downs in forest or olive green, or subtle green seersucker suits if you’re feeling bold.
2. Relaxed and Refined:
Try a crisp lime shirt paired with green chinos or shorts. Throw on a mint lightweight blazer or an avocado-toned vest.
3. Accessories to Impress:
-
Pocket squares** in leaf prints or tie-dye greens
-
Woven fedoras** or straw hats with a green band
-
Suspenders or bowties for a nod to vintage Southern charm
4. Footwear Tips:
Loafers, canvas sneakers, or desert boots. Comfort meets character.
