8 Fun Outfits That Look Great From 6 Feet Away

Given that outdoor, physically distanced meet-ups are the most low-risk social activity amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, it's become increasingly clear that that's how we'll all socialize for the foreseeable future. You've probably discovered that one of the main obstacles for these meet-ups is figuring out what to wear, as the heat and sun certainly don't make it easy.

Something else that you may be taking into consideration is that you don't likely see your friends and family as much as you did pre-pandemic, so you may want to take this opportunity to wear something besides sweats or leggings. Not only that, but summer outfits should be fun, in our opinion, so why not let that guide your outdoor meet-ups?

Some of the most likely physically distanced activities are picnics, walks, backyard or rooftop hangouts, so think casual outfits that you'd be comfortable possible sitting on the ground in or walking in. And as with every situation these days, please take the necessary precautions such as wearing a mask (here are plenty to choose from), washing your hands or using hand sanitizer, staying at least 6 feet away from others, and keeping your hands away from your face.

With that, scroll to shop the pieces needed to re-create eight fun outfits that are ideal for the new wave of social activities.
