How To Dress Retro Like Mad Men This Summer

In the 1950s, Picnic was the sexiest movie anyone had ever seen. In Dirty Dancing, Baby and Johnny practiced their moves in a wooded knoll. Even Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler got in on the action in Armageddon (remember the animal crackers on her belly scene?). Picnics have long been one of the most romantically fab ways to spend a spring day, so weve stored up all that cinematic inspiration and served you a recipe for the perfect outing.
With the pieces in this gallery, you can pull off a retro romantic picnic worthy of a leading lady (back when they were classy dames and not paparazzi-magnet messes). From the mysterious shades to the voluminous skirt, and every accoutrement your al fresco meal might require, weve got the goods right here:

Theres no greater mystery than what a woman is thinking on a date. Keep your cards close by covering your gaze with these new Coach Alexa sunglasses ($148). Their cat-eye shape is reminiscent of the 50s, but theyre updated with state-of-the-art UVA/UVB protection.
A throwback look like this cropped tie-front top and midi-length skirt keep you cool and comfortable, but able to lounge in the grass without any awkward crouching. The tops pattern lends a touch of detail to what should be a pulled-together but genuinely laidback look.
How are you possibly going to get your chocolate-covered strawberries and finger sandwiches to the park without the perfect tote? Coachs Straw Editorial Tote (in XL, of course, $698) has space for all the finer things, and stays true to your glamour-days homage.
When your grandmother used to steal kisses in the shade on dates in the olden days, you can bet she wasnt sitting on a plastic-coated sheet. Prints like plaid and herringbone in classic textiles (like these wool choices) are much more true to form.
Maybe the Grace Kellys of the world would never be caught without a heel, but were pretty sure Audrey Hepburn would approve of a lovely flat sandal for prancing in the grass. Get comfy in this springs take on bold brights with the Coach Shirley Sandal ($128).coach shopping guide spring trends
