(See below for more info.)
Alternately, wear your favourite Garden Party Attire.

About Regency Era Costume:
For an outdoor Regency Era Summer Promenade, there are a few recommended items.
1.  A Parasol or Umbrella; this is to protect our precious complextions from getting ruddy!
2.  A Bonnet or Top Hat; a bonnet or hat with a brim offers further protection from the sun.
3.  Wrist-length Gloves would have been worn when outside (likely white/creme coloured).

Regency Promenade dress would typically consist of:
For Ladies:  Varying from a simple (usually cotton or other natural fibre) to more elaborate empire-waisted dresses usually with long sleeves (short or elbow length examples exist), and was often worn with a “Spencer Jacket“, “Pelisse“, or shawl.  Other accessories include flat shoes and a Reticule.
For Gentlemen:
A Top Hat (or straw option), cotton chemise and cravat, vest, tailcoat (lighter Summer Fabrics), breeches or trousers, stockings, and oxford-style shoes or riding boots.

For our Summer Promenade, be prepared for warm weather.
Here’s more Regency costume inspiration.
