A must is a pair of comfortable shoes – opt for block heels, platforms or low mules as these are usually the kindest to your feet.

White Brunch Outfits

A white brunch outfit is ideal for those warm summer days. White reflects the light and the heat of the sun, meaning it will keep you cool in the rising temps. Plus it’s the color of the moment, so even more reason to lighten up your looks. Go one step further by opting for cool fabrics such as linen or cotton, so that you can enjoy your brunch alfresco without breaking a sweat. Style a simple white brunch dress with wedges or chunky sneakers, sunnies and straw bag if you’re stuck on what to wear to a brunch.

Summer Brunch Dresses

A summer dress is our usual closet staple this time of year anyway, so why not carry it over to brunch too? For some brunch dress ideas and inspiration just look for floral prints, midi hemlines or floaty, tea dress silhouettes, and style with coordinating mules and dainty jewellery. Summer brunch dresses are the perfect no-stress option, whether you’re that friend that plans brunch four months out or on the actual day itself.
