Explore some of the top outfits for the ‘gram, and begin creating a brunch outfit idea for your next weekend adventure with 10PM Curfew today.
Brunch Outfit Ideas
What makes for the perfect brunch outfit? When putting together a look fit for the feed, you want to consider the location, like how warm or cool you’ll be, how fancy the spot is, and even if there’s a specific color or dress code that will make photos really stand out. Many modern brunch spots even have designated photo areas designed to make you look extra cute or stylish.
Of course, you always want to consider your own personal style, since there’s no better outfit than one that makes you feel comfortable and confident all day long. These are just a few of our top picks when it comes to brunch outfits that just can’t be beat.
1. Sundress and Sandals
You can’t go wrong with the classics, and there’s nothing more classic than a sundress for brunch. Sundresses are very comfortable and very versatile, which means it’s easy to pick out a look that fits your style, and you can dress it up or down, depending on the location of the brunch spot.
You can also layer your sundress easily with cardigans, denim jackets, or wraps to ensure that they’re appropriate for the weather as well as the event.
The shoes can really make the outfit when it comes to your brunch sundress. A pair of low sandals can be elegant and comfortable for casual events and parties. Take your sundress up a level with cute wedge sandals or big block heels to get that spring and summery vibe in an elevated way.
Sundresses come in many different lengths, colors, and patterns — we love a good floral — and you can even find different types of sleeves for your favorite sundress. Add in your favorite necklaces and earrings for a super easy look that really stands out.
Jumpsuit or Romper
If you love the look of a summer sundress but you’re looking for something a little different, consider a jumpsuit or romper instead. Jumpsuits and rompers are similar in that they’re both a single piece of clothing with the top and bottom pieces attached. What sets the two styles apart is the length.
Jumpsuits have full-length pants, whereas rompers have shorts. This can be helpful to remember if you’re brunching out someplace warm.
Like sundresses, rompers are easy to dress up and down since they’re available in many different colors and patterns, and you can always add layers. With rompers, you also want to consider different materials since some will be more form-fitting, and some will be more flowy and dress-like.
Add your pick of low-tops, sandals, wedges, or heels, and strut into your new favorite brunch spot in style.
Oversized Blazer
Blazers will always add a touch of elegance to your look, which might be the perfect addition to a brunch outfit. Brunch tends toward the more casual, so you’ll want to consider pairing a blazer with denim and sneakers or sandals.
One great way to add a looser blazer to your brunch ensemble is to layer it over loose, high-waisted jeans and a light-colored tank top or form-fitting t-shirt. For the most part, you’ll want to err on the side of lighter colors when it comes to brunch outfits, but pick the palette that most feels like you.
Denim Jacket
One of the most versatile outfits you can have in your wardrobe is a denim jacket — the ultimate brunch staple! It’s the perfect piece for layering in the in-between seasons and can help keep your skin out of the sun without making you overheat.
Denim jackets can go with just about any outfit, whether you want to add a special piece to your classic leggings and tank top look or you’re looking to take down some of the fanciness of your favorite little black dress. Another cute way to consider wearing a denim jacket to lunch is by layering it over a pair of bright or patterned shorts to balance out some of the colors.
Peasant Top
Peasant tops are perfect for any spring or summer wardrobe since they’re loose, comfortable, and typically made of breathable fabric. They’re also available in a wide range of color and pattern options, which means it’s easy to find a peasant top that fits your personality and style and the location you’re visiting for brunch.
The sleeves on peasant tops can either be short or long, but they tend to cuff at the edges in both cases, which allows the rest of the fabric to flow and move around easily.
It's easy to make an outfit from your favorite peasant top since they pair easily with leggings, jeans, denim shorts, paper bag pants, and everything in between.
Cute Cardigan
You just can’t go wrong with a cute cardigan. Cardigans are sweaters that open down the front, and they’re the perfect addition to any cute or casual outfit, especially on days with different types of weather. The right cardigan can elevate an outfit while still keeping you comfortable and cozy for your morning out.
Having neutral-colored cardigans in your closet can be very useful since they’ll ensure you can wear your favorite outfits when the weather gets chilly. But if you want to step outside your comfort zone — while staying within your comfort zone — consider wearing a fun or funky cardigan.
You can find them in neon colors, with color blocking in different palettes, or even with unique patterns like clouds or flowers. The right cardigan can make for the star piece in your next brunch outfit.
Oversize White Button-Down
We love a coastal grandma look, and there’s just nothing better for the job than an oversized white button-down top. These pair perfectly with your favorite high-waisted jeans, especially ones in a lighter color, and can be dressed up or down with sandals, heels, or low-tops, depending on your mood and where brunch is being served.
You’ll want to wear your oversized button-down over a tank, crop tank, or form-fitting tee and play around with the full, half, or no-tuck look. Add in your favorite pieces of gold jewelry to really complete the style.
Corset Top
It’s all in the name! Corset tops are a style of top shaped and formed like old-fashioned corsets. They tend to fit very snugly against the natural form of the body and can be super flattering if you’re looking to highlight all your best features.
Corset tops can pair with a ton of different outfits and other pieces, like high-waisted pants, flowing skirts, or even a pair of beloved denim shorts. One of the reasons we love them so much is that they come in very elegant, feminine patterns and styles, including classic Delft porcelain patterns, watercolors, and florals.
While you want to take care to pick out a corset top that fits comfortably, this can be a very elegant and beautiful addition to your brunch wardrobe.
Conclusion
Brunch is a special occasion where secrets are shared, stories are told, and memories are made. It’s the place to clink glasses and try new dishes, and it’s definitely the spot to show off your favorite new brunch looks for all the girlies.
The good news is that you have a ton of unique and exciting brunch outfits that you can begin trying out and some with the pieces you already have in your wardrobe. Because at the end of the day, your outfit should feel like you.
This weekend for brunch, consider picking out the perfect sundress to match your favorite spot and pair it with summer-ready wedges or sandals. A romper offers the same final look but with a little more comfort, or you can turn to an oversized blazer for a total business baddie vibe.
Some of the other looks and styles you’ll want to try out at your next brunch include peasant tops, denim jackets, colorful cardigans, and button-down dress shirts.
