Shop 'Breezy brunch looks for women'And it features a little bit of everything.
We’ve officially gone from meeting over cocktails to catching up over brunch. And while it’s only to easy to show up for your next one in botanical ‘fits or marshmallow hues, we’ve rounded up a ‘hot-right-now’ list of ‘fits that you need to pay attention to.
Midi Dresses Still Reign Supreme
The midi dress remains undefeated for good reason! This season demands thoughtful fabrication. Take notes from Sydney Sweeney, whose linen-cotton blend dresses offer that coveted structured-yet-relaxed silhouette with significantly less creasing than pure linen.
Opt for architectural details, like Bella Hadid’s asymmetrical hems or Dua Lipa’s unexpected cutouts. These details elevate beyond basic sundress territory. Better yet, throw on a slightly oversized fit; it creates that enviable nonchalance that looks deliberate rather than ill-fitting.
Say Yes to Separates
You can never go wrong with wide-leg trousers in lightweight fabrics. Emily Ratajkowski’s recent paper-bag waist trousers provided movement with structure, just what you need in a winning brunch outfit.
Complete the look with tops featuring subtle details like origami-inspired pleating, buttons, XXL sleeves and more. The result? An ensemble that appears meticulously considered.
The Sunshine Palette Revolution
While pastels have their place, this season’s colour direction skews more saturated. Selena Gomez’s marigold yellow dress and Sophie Turner’s cerulean blue ensemble capture summer’s intensity without veering into garish territory. For the colour-averse, take inspiration from Rihanna’s elevated neutrals in varying textures.
You can even embrace monochromatic dressing in unexpected hues. Think head-to-toe terracotta or sage green ensembles. These combinations photograph spectacularly and require minimal accessories.
Accessories: The Thoughtful Finishing
Accessories are key in any outfit, but for brunch, they’re the ultimate flex. Oversized sunglasses from Tommy Hilfiger provide both sun protection and mysterious allure, while minimal gold jewellery from Accessorize adds warmth without taking away from your outfit.
For footwear, block-heeled mules from Aldo offer height without sacrificing comfort, crucial when you’re three hours deep into a languorous gathering. The sweet spot? Heels under 2.5 inches with interesting textural elements like braided straps or a subtle metallic finish.
The Handbag Hierarchy
Your handbag selection requires strategic consideration. Lavie’s structured bucket bags in buttery leather strike the perfect balance between fashionable and functional, spacious enough for sunscreen reapplication necessities, yet compact enough not to overwhelm your silhouette.
