WHAT TO WEAR TO GIRLS’ BRUNCH

Brunch isn’t just a meal, it’s a moment. It’s the soft launch to your day, an excuse to get out and get dressed without getting up too early, and the kind of plan that turns into something more without even trying. Whether you’re sipping iced lattes on a patio or lingering over bottomless mimosas with your girls, the right brunch outfit sets the tone before you even sit down.

This guide breaks down what to wear to brunch—from casual denim-forward outfits to slightly more formal brunch dresses, we’ve got you covered.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• The best brunch outfit starts with confident denim or an easy, wearable dress that feels effortless, not overdone.
• Brunch style is all about balance. Showing shape while staying comfortable from first sip to last stop is key to feeling your best all day long.
• Elevated basics, intentional layers, and subtle accessories keep brunch looks polished without feeling overdressed.

BRUNCH OUTFIT 1: LET DENIM SET THE TONE

Most great brunch outfits start with one of two basics: a dress or a great pair of jeans. This starting piece keeps your look grounded while giving you room to dress yourself up or down. For this outfit, the perfect pair of jeans is essential, so you’ll want to go with something:

• Flared or straight-legged to elongate your frame, which will look especially good with a pair of heels.
• Mid-rise, like our iconic Billie cut, or the Becca Mid-Rise cut to define your waist.
• Clean or lightly distressed washes that feel intentional.

Denim like this instantly makes a brunch outfit feel styled without feeling forced. Pair it with an asymmetric denim top for a denim-on-denim look, a cropped flannel shacket for something a bit more cozy, or a crystal horseshoe cut-out tee for extra flair, and you’ve got a look that works whether you’re seated, standing, or strutting to your next stop.

BRUNCH OUTFIT 2: WHEN A BRUNCH DRESS MAKES SENSE

Brunch dresses are a classic choice, especially when the weather’s warm and you want a one-and-done look. The key here is choosing a dress that still feels relaxed and wearable. It can sometimes be easy to cross the line between slaying and overdressing without even noticing. The best brunch dresses:

• Hit at a mini or midi length to keep it from feeling too formal.
• Move easily when you walk or sit so that you’re not feeling restricted while you’re eating and laughing with your girls.
• Feel effortless, not fussy, because who wants to deal with that?

Go for something like the Georgia Shirt Dress—it’s casual but stylish and can be dressed up or down. If you want to show off your curves, the Logo Script Ribbed Slit Maxi Dress might be more your speed. It’s non-restrictive while hitting right before the ankle, giving you the perfect shape and sense of formality.

Style your brunch dress with accessories, neutral sandals, heels, or boots to keep the look grounded, but don’t be afraid to own the look!

BRUNCH OUTFIT 3: LAYERS THAT WORK FROM FIRST SIP TO LAST STOP

While it’s nice to sleep after the usual breakfast hour, brunch timing can be tricky. Cool mornings, warmer afternoons, and plans after that go on longer than expected can call for some additional planning when it comes to your outfit.

In this case, it’s best to grab a cropped bomber jacket or something like a shacket on your way out the door—nothing too light, nothing too heavy. You could also reach for an oversized patent leather jacket or go for a denim jacket for an easy, confident finish.

The goal is to add layers that elevate your brunch outfit without stealing the spotlight or weighing you down all day long.

This year, brunch style is shifting back towards confidence-driven fits.
