Adding a modern twist to Victorian fashion and the iconic Picnic At Hanging Rock style is a great way to bring a dose of nostalgia and femininity to your wardrobe. With the recent reimagining of the classic tale, there’s no better time to draw inspiration from the crisp white cottons, lace detailing and flirty, free-spirited approach to fashion.
Vogue Australia’s 2015 Lost In Time editorial starring Phoebe Tonkin and Teresa Palmer captures the essence of Picnic At Hanging Rock with its dreamy imagery and timeless style. The use of soft cotton voiles, hand-sewn lace, and iconic detailing harkens back to a time before fast fashion, reminding us of the beauty of well-made garments and accessories.
To achieve the Picnic At Hanging Rock look, layering crisp white cottons for winter is key. Pieces like the Papillon motif tops, sweaters, and light knits in neutral earthy tones from Golden Brown are perfect for weekends picnicking in the hills. Rowie’s feminine Bandeau tops offer a modern take on the look when paired with a cotton slip or high-waisted skirt. Spell’s Rosa Collection features stunning layering pieces and the perfect cotton and lace mix blouses and dresses for a true picnic dream.
When it comes to shoes, opt for a pretty dress with a good boot, such as lace-up or pull-on styles. Axl & Ash’s selection of books and journals are perfect for a day spent under a tree in your favorite picnic setting, while Brixton’s woven and straw hats add the perfect finishing touch to the look.
Complete the ensemble with a woven bag fit for any picnicking occasion, as it truly fits the part. With a wide range of options available, there’s a perfect picnic bag for every style.
