Join us as we dive into the world of BBQ fashion, exploring Academy Brand's effortlessly stylish outlook.

What Should You Wear to a BBQ?

There are a few things you should consider when it comes to choosing an outfit for a barbecue: location, weather, and comfort. You'll want to be practical since you may be standing around for a while. You also might be doing some cooking, so you'll want to wear something that you don't mind getting a little dirty without compromising your style - darker colours are great for hiding the splashes!

Consider the location. If it’s at the beach, wear something airy that won’t get sand or grass stuck to it. If it’s a backyard BBQ, you may have lots of shade or none at all, so go for something with light, long sleeves to keep you covered either way.

Bring an extra layer. The weather can change quickly, so it's always a good idea to have an extra layer on hand. A light jacket or sweater is perfect for when it gets colder in the evening.

Choose comfortable shoes. You'll be doing a lot of standing and walking, so make sure your shoes are comfortable. For women, avoid heels, and opt for flats or sandals instead.
