What to Wear for a Brunch Date: 10 Effortless Outfit Ideas
Brunch has its own dress code, even if no one's ever written it down. Not quite casual, not quite dressed-up — somewhere in that easy, unbothered middle. Good brunch outfits for women live exactly there: relaxed enough for a lazy Sunday, put-together enough for the photos that always happen anyway, whether you plan for them or not.If you've ever stood in front of your closet wondering what to wear to brunch, here are 10 brunch outfit ideas that solve it every time, whatever the setting.
1. A Printed Maxi Dress
A flowing, floor-length pick from our maxi dress collection is one of the easiest brunch dresses to reach for — soft, airy, and finished the moment you put it on. Pair with espadrilles or flat sandals and you've got a look that works for a sunny café patio without a second thought, and one that photographs just as well indoors under softer light.
