As the saying goes “A well-spent brunch brings a week of content.”
That pretty much sums up my love for weekend brunch.
Wake up without an alarm clock, wearing an off-duty ruffle dress, having a long talk with my gal pals, and free-flow champagne, it’s almost too dreamy to be true.
Men don’t get the charm of brunch but I’m sure most of us ladies do!
That said, getting prepared for brunch is always a soothing and fun process.
To help you stay fabulous no matter the season and occasion, I’ve come up with 27 outfit ideas if you wonder what to wear for brunch.
Enjoy loves!
1. EMBRACE PASTEL HUES FOR SPRING BRUNCH
To make getting dressed for brunch even more fun, always dress according to the season.
When it comes to a classic brunch look in spring, be ready to explore yourself with all kinds of pastel shades!
Whether that’s a baby blue peplum top or a funky purple blazer, they are all welcome.
That said, it’s also the perfect time to switch out your ordinary dark blue pants for cream ones.
Is that just me but white pants just boost the elegance tenfold!
As a cottagecore style lover, I must say a baby pink gingham co-ord set is to die for.
I mean, isn’t this perfect for a relaxing outdoor brunch?
2. GET BOLD WITH PRINTS FOR SUMMER BRUNCH
If summer is not the time to pull off all kinds of wild prints and patterns, well, when should that be?
I mean it, ladies, it’s finally the exciting time to dust off your floral tea dress and candy stripe top.
Together with a straw hat and sunglasses, it just screams holiday vibes like no other!
As for my favorite shoe option, the lace-up espadrilles are top of the list.
You know, weekend brunch is all about having fun after a hectic week and there’s no reason you don’t celebrate this moment with a delightful floral dress!
3. STAY CLASSY AND CHILL IN LINEN
If you are fond of minimalist style, a high-quality linen dress will work wonders for you.
Featuring the gorgeously lightweight fabric, it just feels perfect for sticky hot days.
And when it comes to versatility, it’s second to none.
From a vacay-ready white linen smock dress to a sophisticated beige co-ord set, it just elevates your look with a dash of classiness.
Perhaps many of you already know, but linen is such a popular fabric in high society.
So ladies, if you want to look expensive without trying too hard for the relaxing brunch time, this is the hack!
The asymmetrical hemline is so leg forgiving.
4. GET A CASUAL BRUNCH LOOK IN TOPS AND JEANS
For a casual family brunch that you just want to grab something and go, the daily top and the jeans combo are the no-brainers.
Instead of going for a plain black tee, perhaps it’s time to experiment with some new neckline.
As for my picks, I prefer halter and off-shoulder tops can it’s universally flattering to showcase the neckline.
And if you want to feel extra comfy for the upcoming big brunch, switch out the skinny jeans to paper bag pants just to seal the deal.
Your food baby will thank you!
5. When in doubt, wear a scarf
Of course, if you are looking for an aesthetic look, adding is a scarf always work wonders!
It gives refreshing elegant vibes. Love it!
5. SPICE UP YOUR AUTUMN BRUNCH LOOK WITH HATS
As the saying goes “Fall is never complete with hats” and I just can’t agree more.
If you want to elevate your brunch outfit with minimal effort, throw on a hat just to dress up instantly.
Feeling slightly laid-back in a slouchy sweater and black tights?
Well, perhaps it’s time to consider a wide-beam felt hat that gives the look an artsy vibe.
As for my favorite hat, the beret has to be top of the list.
From the iconic British sweet girl look to the edgy faux leather one, it is just full of attitude.
Bonus tip:
If you want to contour your faceline and make it appear to be smaller, always wear the beret aside!
If you are wondering what to wear with beret hats, I’ve gathered these 10 combos!
I’m sure you will try to try them out!
6. STAY CLASSY IN SILK FOR A FORMAL BRUNCH
When it comes to a formal brunch, ladies, it’s time to bring our A-game.
If you are going to a fine dining restaurant, always figure out the fine attire as you definitely don’t want to overdress or underdress.
But if you want a fail-proof way to look poised and expensive, silk is the answer.
Whether you wear a slip silk dress alone or team it with a cream wool sweater, either way, you just go full glam for a champagne brunch at the Ritz Carlton.
If you want a more affordable choice, let’s not forget satin dress is equally flattering.
Not sponsored but I adore Lily Silk so much – I never imagined I can buy a high-quality silk dress in this price range at all!
Is that just me but whenever I spoil myself in silk, I just feel like a goddess?
The feminine vibes are REAL.
7. GET A HANDY CO-ORD SET FOR CHAMPAGNE BRUNCH
We’ve all been there.
We were partying on Saturday hardcore and when we woke up the next day, all we could feel was a horrible headache instead of a nice mood for dressing up.
That said, a handy co-ord set is your savior to stay refreshing for your fancy brunch at noon.
Seriously, a darling big bow blouse with a baby pink tweed co-ord set?
Who would have thought this Chanel-inspired, radiant girl managed to pour herself 10 Jagerbombs in one go last night? NO ONE.
8. PULL OFF A HIGH STREET WINTER BRUNCH LOOK
As for winter brunch outfits, the combinations can be endless. This season’s mantra is all about layering for all kinds of styles.
My go-to look is a turtleneck sweater dress with thigh-high boots together with a bright-tone bag for an extra pop of fun.
But for the girls who want to step up their game, get bold with a leopard print dress and faux leather biker jacket.
But promise me, no matter how cool you look, order hot chocolate on these chilly days!
This is so random… BUT
hey ladies, why not quickly do an affirmation and feel instantly better?
This new year, I’m trying not only to share fashion tips but come up with ways to instill body positivity in all women who are reading my articles – aka YOU!
Instead of just reading it, say it loud or murmur the quotes (if you are in public) to maximize the effect.
Ready? Here we go.
I love my body. She is my forever home and sanctuary.
Sassy isn’t a shape, it’s an attitude.
Work out because I love my body – not because I hate it.
I can love myself and change my body at the same time. No guilt about that.
It is completely normal to have tummy rolls. I come to realize that social media isn’t showing the reality… at all.
My happiest moments in life had nothing to do with the way my body looked.
I don’t have to be pretty like her, I can be pretty like …ME.
I AM perfect imperfection.
What are your thoughts on that? I hope that makes you feel better (as you deserved).
Please help me pass the body positivity message in your community. #womenhelpwomen
Alright, now keep on reading!
9. STAY CLASSY CHIC FOR BUSINESS BRUNCH
If you are having a business brunch and you want to look sophisticated yet not in a formal way, mix and match are the keys.
Feeling sick of the same white dress shirt? Team it with a silver pleated midi skirt just signal your colleague “I’ve got a life other than the 9-5!”.
Vice versa, if you want to spice up classy dress pants, match them with a polka dot peplum top for a dose of playfulness.

10. PULL OFF A BILLOWY LOOK FOR PLUS-SIZE BAE
Last but not least, the brunch outfit tips for plus-size bae!
Basically, I will tell you to wear whatever you want!
But if you are looking for something more forgiving, here are the choices:
A. Peplum dress
With an extra layer of fabric attached to the high waist area, this design can never go wrong.
Not only it can hide the belly area, but it also creates a flared section and creates an hourglass figure for you!
B. Off-shoulder dress
For the all-black girls who don’t want to look heaty in summer.
Off-shoulder or boat neckline is the most flattering option to shed the bulkiness.
Seriously, showing off the collarbone and shoulder always looks gorgeous!
C. CINCH YOUR WAIST
If you prefer a loose-cutting dress, always belt it up to sculpt out the silhouette.
That just makes you look more put-together than hiding behind a slouchy outfit.
Don’t make this mistake anymore!
