What to wear cold weather BBQ?

annagybe

I got invited to a BBQ/Housewarming party on Memorial Day. But I don't think it'll be particularly warm, it's been in the mid 60's lately.

Then jeans and a "transitional shoe"? Anything you want up top, I'm sure you have some amazing ones.

Will you have to stand outside?

Invite says bring favorite lawn game and a lawn chair.

I'd say jeans you love with fun, but not uncomfortable, shoes and an awesome topper.

I have some experience with this Anna, is the BBQ likely to become drinks on the patio when the sun goes down? If yes you need layers, you need to add clothing into the evening. My method is to wear trousers, a tee, a light sweater, jacket, socks and shoes. I carry a large bag into which an extra sweater and thicker socks goes.

I'd wear my harem pants, tights, and an oversized sweater over a tissue tee probably. Flat shoes of some sort.

Start with figuring out the right footwear and move up from there. It's on a lawn, so uneven terrain, and could be wet. Would your gold wedge Marant sneakers work?

I am no where near your level of fashion edginess, but I would say jeans with fun but comfortable shoes, and layers on top.

You just have such a fab wardrobe, I would hate for it get stained. Or maybe its just me that has that happen to them at BBQs.

Wrap up - or at least bring stuff to wrap up with!

Hmmm. Your favourite jeans - harem. Your favourite boots. The new ones from Austin or the white Isabel Marant. Casual top and edgy topper.

I'm with Denise -- pick the shoes first and work up. Maybe consider toppers next. What can you wear that will be okay if it gets a bit wet? Of course if it really rains, let's hope things move indoors!

Definitely the harem jeans - love those on you. And shoes/boots that are comfortable for standing on grass as well as on a patio later. Nothing where the heels will sink into the ground - I'm thinking like Denise with the gold wedge sneakers.

I'm worried about grass stains so probably not my Laurence Dacade patchwork denim boots nor the white Isabel Marant Caleen boots. I'm thinking my black Isabel Marant wedge sneakers, harem jeans and blue leopard sweatshirt, with perhaps my white leather moto. I wish it would be at least in the 70's, ugh such a hard temperature to dress.

Oooh. I like the idea of the blue leopard.

Your outfit sounds perfect. If you really run cold I would take a scarf or coat to throw on if needed.
