A Summer's Day by the River: Chic Outfits for Punting and Picnics in 1931 This delightful photograph from the archives of the Illustrated London News captures the essence of summer leisure in the home counties during the 1930s. The scene is set on the banks of a tranquil river, where the sun casts a warm glow over the idyllic landscape. Three stylish outfits, perfect for messing about on the river or enjoying a smart riverside club, are showcased in the foreground. At the center of the image, a graceful woman wears a beautiful white linen frock embroidered with blue, designed by Peter Robinson. The delicate fabric flows gently in the breeze, and the embroidery adds a touch of elegance to the outfit. This frock would have been ideal for a sunny day spent picnicking by the river or attending a garden party. To the left, another woman is pictured in a pyjama suit from Gamages. Pyjama suits were a popular choice for leisure activities during the 1930s, offering both comfort and style. The model wears a straw hat to protect herself from the sun, completing the look of casual sophistication. On the right, a third woman is seen in a bathing suit also from Gamages. The sleek design of the bathing suit is both fashionable and practical, making it the perfect choice for a day spent punting on the river or lounging by the water's edge. This photograph captures the spirit of summer leisure in the 1930s, with its focus on relaxed, stylish outfits and the beauty of the natural world. Whether punting on the river or enjoying a picnic in the sun, these outfits embody the essence of a carefree, enjoyable summer day.
