Gathering together an Insta-worthy charcuterie spread and a few bottles of rosé for an elaborate picnic is always fun. You need to make sure that you’ve got a reliable and chic blanket on hand, though. That stylish throw that you have on your couch isn’t going to cut it as a picnic blanket. Imagine if a drink spills or the grass is damp. That throw will absorb that liquid, and you’ll be sitting your butt on a wet blanket. You don’t want your new dress to get wet. That feeling is the worst. Plus, while your throw is cozy to cuddle up with on cold nights, it’ll be too thin to sit on. You’ll feel every stick, tree root and bit of uneven ground. That’s why you should get one of the best waterproof picnic blankets.

When you think of things that are waterproof, a slick tarp that smells like plastic probably comes to mind. Luckily for you, these picnic blankets don’t even look waterproof. They’re made with comfy fabrics with vivid prints, so you can make a stylish statement while keeping your butt dry. Check out our top picks below.
