10 Perfect Outfits for Brunch

Brunch looks run the gamut from just-rolled-out-of-bed comfy to carefully curated. However, you’ll always want to consider your comfort level in your clothing, especially if the day is hot or cold, the commute is long, or you have a day full of errands planned for after your meal. If you’re looking for brunch outfit inspiration, we’re sharing our cute outfits for brunch that are sure to please your weekend dates. 

If You Love A Laid Back Look

Best Brunch Outfits - Laid Back Look

We all love the weekends when we can take a step back and allow ourselves to enjoy a chill day to just relax.  While we all recharge in our own ways, starting the day with a sunny brunch and someone special makes the day more enticing. Whether you’re brunching with your significant other or your best girl to catch up, this laid-back look is effortless, easy, and most importantly, extra comfy. The essentials to this look are your favorite ball cap and crew neck sweatshirt.  We love color, but choosing a neutral-colored top makes the outfit easier to style.  Wear a pair of comfy, loose jeans and seal in the comfort with a pair of sneakers.  If those aren’t your style, any variety of sandals or flats will keep the comfort going.

If You Love To Wear Bright Colors

Best Brunch Outfits - Bright Colors

We love to brunch any time of the year, but spring seems to be one of the best seasons to start.  (Outdoor mimosa, anyone?) Spring is about renewal and an invitation to be bold.  It’s easy to wear our usual blacks, grays, whites, and beiges, but when you want to give your wardrobe a rebirth, welcome color into your everyday outfits. Create this look with some items that you may already have in your closet, such as black loafers, ‘90s straight-legged jeans, and gold hoops.  Keep the brightness going with a metallic handbag! This outfit is perfect for any brunch and for any fun afterward! 

If You Love Knit Dresses

Best Brunch Outfits - Knit Dresses

One of the most comfortable dresses that you can wear to the next brunch is a knit dress!  We love the slimming and soft feeling material that extends all the way down to your ankles.   On top of comfort, you’ll feel chic and like a NY-fashionista.  This knit dress is versatile and can be elevated in so many ways, especially through accessories, such as with your choice of shoes or jewelry.  For a simple brunch look, wear a pair of leather ballet flats, toss your keys into your everyday go-to leather bag, and add those timeless gold accessories.  For a more formal Easter brunch, consider wearing a pair of heels for a more dressier look.  We love this dress in any earth tones to wear any time of the year.

If You Love Mini Skirts

Best Brunch Outfits - Mini Skirts

Undoubtedly, mini skirts are a closet staple and are popular more than ever.  They’re also perfect to wear during a sunny brunch with your best friends! If you’re in search of a new one, we recommend a leather mini-skirt with a short slit.  Leather adds a tad of luxury to everyday fashion items. Style your new mini skirt with a cool denim jacket, a bright pair of sneakers, and a classic white tee.  (If it’s chilly, layer with a pair of nude tights.)  Change up the vibe of this outfit with your choice of accessories from head to toe.  This will become one of your go-to brunch outfits for the rest of the year! 

If You Love The Denim Maxi Skirt Trend

Best Brunch Outfits - Denim Maxi Skirt

One of my new favorite pieces of clothing, I love my denim maxi skirt—it’s slightly elegant and fun to wear for any event on my social calendar. (The extra length even adds some warmth, too.) Keep the vibe elevated with a silky top, heeled boots, and a black leather handbag.  If you’re a little prone to stains and spills, wear a darker color top.   Wear this brunch outfit when you’re in the mood to dress up and strut! 

If You Love Pastels

Best Brunch Outfits - Pastels

Shop: Jacket | Tank | Jeans | Earrings | Heels

We love pastels, especially during spring! The various shades are very flattering for every skin tone, so choose from baby blue, lavender, soft pink, and pale yellow—the options are pretty and close to endless.  A stylish way to wear pastels is with a flirty corset top and a cropped jacket.  Style it with your stretchiest denim and kitten heels to tie the outfit together.  Keep the spring vibes going with flower-inspired jewelry! 

If You Love Florals

Best Brunch Outfits - Florals

I love florals, no matter the season.  Wearing florals is such an easy way to infuse prints and patterns into your wardrobe.  The trick is to keep the rest of the look simple, and we’re here to help you!  So, for your next sunshine-filled brunch, why not wear a pretty floral dress?  Keep the vibes laid-back with sandals or platform sneakers.  If you want to dress up, wear kitten heels or platform wedges.  Don’t forget your favorite mini bag and shiny accessories to keep the look dressy. 

If You Love The Oversized Look

Best Brunch Outfits - Love An Oversized Look

I’m a big fan of oversized sweaters, jackets, and T-shirts.  I love the extra room for comfort and ways to make it stylish, without looking like you’re wearing pajamas at brunch (although that’s not always entirely a bad thing).  Pulling off the oversized look is easy and can make many TikTok-worthy outfits, especially with an oversized blazer and graphic tee.  Pair these staples with shorts and platform loafers.  Make the outfit your own with your choice of shoes, but keeping the look simple will have you looking great while eating brunch! 

If You Love An Athleisure Vibe

Best Brunch Outfits - Athleisure Vibe

Athleisure is a lovely combination of athletic wear and everyday clothing.  It provides all-day comfort without forsaking style, making it a stylish choice for brunch. An easy brunch look is flared leggings, a knit quarter zip, and chunky sneakers. This is a perfect look if you just came from your favorite workout class, and then headed straight to brunch. 

If You Love Brunch By The Beach

Best Brunch Outfits - Brunch on the Beach

Brunch by the beach is always a good idea.  It gives an ideal atmosphere while allowing you to soak up the sun, and makes you want to stay there all day.  For your next beach outing, wear a light linen dress to feel the sun on your skin, comfortable sandals, (mules would work here, too), topped off with simple gold earrings.  Don’t forget your shades and take the cutest photos.  A good brunch isn’t complete with these picturesque memories!
