Picnic in Style With These Yummie Summer Essentials
AUTHOR, Team YummieYummie Summer Style Guide
What makes the perfect picnic outfit? It must be flattering and cute, of course; you just know someone’s going to be snapping candid's when you least expect it. And functional! You might be called on to shimmy into picnic tables (if not, sit pretzel style on a blanket on the ground), play impromptu cornhole, chase after children, or maybe just chat with friends alongside a charcuterie board and rosé. We’ve collected our favorite shaping tanks, contouring leggings, and women’s bodysuits for comfortable summer outfits into one convenient summer style guide so you can feel great all day (and look great in photos, too).
Why settle for a normal tank when you can grab a women’s shaping tank that has hidden shaping where you need it most? This tank can be worn as a scoop-neck or a v-neck for extra versatility. It looks great tucked into shorts: the level 2 light shaping creates clean lines that won’t bunch. English Rose and Beached Glass are perfect summery colors, but make sure to also grab a few tanks in Black and White – they’re workhorse wardrobe essentials for summer fashion and beyond.

The shorter, 17” inseam of these sculpting leggings is ideal for warmer temperatures. With 360-degrees of shaping from waist to calf (but crucially no side seams), these summer leggings are perfect for steamy days filled with grilling and chilling. Pair with a breezy button down and you’ll look effortlessly cool.

These sporty biker shorts feature a subtle piping that visually elongates and slims the legs with fabric that molds to your curves in the yummiest way for a superior, flattering fit. The 2-ply waistband provides additional shaping at the tummy while the long, 8 ¼” inseam provides support through the thigh. Go full athleisure with a longline bra-top (or our v-neck tee for a little more coverage).

Gloria 7/8 Legging with Pockets
This yummie legging has the one thing that makes any shaping legging better: pockets. The deep, 9” pockets are perfect for tucking in your cellphone and keys so you can leave the purse at home. We broke the mold with our hourglass-shaped waistband; the front dips down to provide additional tummy support while the back curves up to give a lifted-looking rear. The 22 ¼” inseam gives an ankle-bearing crop to most, but can be an ideal full-length legging for petite women.

Ruby Cotton Thong-Back Bodysuit
We cannot say it enough: yummie bodysuits are ideal for active summer activities. This one is made of a breathable cotton that is perfect for hot days with a hidden, knit-in tummy panel that provides level 3 medium shaping. The Golden Glow/White Stripe and Marlin/White Stripe scream “summer”, but it also comes in neutral staple colors like Black and White.

This version of our Ruby features a thong back, but we’ve also got our Ruby Cotton Brief-Back Bodysuit. Either one ensures a clean, tucked-in look no matter how intense the cornhole match gets!
Every great picnic outfit starts with the right underwear. It doesn’t get better than this shapewear brief, loaded with seamless support. The high rise gives you level 2 light shaping across your tummy and support at the waist, courtesy of the wide, 2-ply waistband. Each pair is lightweight and has the perfect amount of support for everyday wear.
