It’s officially summer, which means it’s time to embrace all things Vitamin D, whether soaking up the warm weather in an alfresco setting or overlooking a skyline on a rooftop.
Regardless of the setting, proper weekend plans always involve brunch.
Living in the New York City area, brunch is an institution. It is a social movement, rather than just a meal. It brings all people together – no matter their background – making it the perfect opportunity to catch up with friends after a long week of work.
Summer Brunch Outfits
Comfort is key—this is the weekend we’re talking about—so it’s best to rely on summer staples that can transform those so-called boring basics into a look.
A bottomless brunch outfit would most certainly involve a summer dress, which is flowy enough to enjoy drinks and food, yet chic enough to feel like you are going out.
Scroll below for summer brunch outfits to wear this weekend for brunch with friends.
Dress
Dresses can simplify the getting-ready process, requiring little styling to make you feel put together.
Brunch dresses are the first outfit that comes to mind for the perfect brunch outfit. Effortless shapes are an excellent choice for a Sunday brunch.
When applied to a romantic yet modern day silhouette, floral dresses are the no-fail option when creating a dreamy casual brunch look with friends.
Finish off with white sneakers for a weekend vibe.
With feminine touches like slingbacks and a basket bag, a printed mini dress is a lovely option for any type of brunch – whether it be a rooftop brunch or an elegant brunch with friends.
For perfectly crispy bagels and an assortment of raw fishes, Sadelle’s in New York City is an institution – long line and all.
The warmer months calls for dining outdoors underneath the blue skies.
The simplest pieces exude a cool girl vibe. In fact, the best brunch outfits are simplest in nature.
They can really add depth to the laziest of outfits, and leave you feeling put together for what really matters: gossip shared over mimosas and ricotta pancakes.
The most stylish summer brunch outfits are the easiest to throw on. Maxi/midi dresses are the definition of effortless ease and elegant allure.
A full-length frock that hovers slightly above ground is a no-brainer when it comes to summer style.
Finish off with flat sandals for post-brunch shopping.
Top + Skirt
When it comes to fuss-free dressing, nothing beats those easy-to-throw-on matching sets for women.
An effortless, elevated co-ord is the perfect look to head to your favorite brunch spot.
The stylish pairing is the perfect way to get dressed for either a fancy brunch or finding an outfit when you wake up with a Sunday hangover.
Top + Skirt + Sandals
Impress your fellow brunch-goers with this model off-duty look. Transform the denim maxi skirt to an effortless weekend brunch look.
Pair the closet staple with a nice top, and flat sandals for a casual spring weather look. Don’t forget a statement bag to add extra elegance to the casual brunch look.
Tee + Skirt + Slingbacks
A mini skirt on the weekend feels more casual when paired with a classic white tee or a pretty blouse. For a touch of femininity, opt for pointy slingbacks.
Top + Trousers + Sandals
Voluminous trousers can be tricky to style, but are an essential part of all cute outfits.
The languid style works seamlessly with a crop top – whether it be a corset top or a halter-neck top – the pairing is always a good idea for a weekend brunch look.
The leg proportion works perfectly with block heels, bright heels, or strappy sandals.
Tee + Trousers + Sandals
One of my favorite casual brunch spots is Sunday in Brooklyn.
This place takes it to the next level with its hazelnut maple praline syrup over fluffy pancakes. If you love pancakes, this place is a must.
Tank + Jeans + Sandals
What better way to celebrate the weekend than with a pair of jeans?
Whether it be skinny jeans or a wide-leg pair, there is no shortage of outfits with this staple piece.
For the summer months, a pair of relaxed denim is one of my favorite cuts for the warm weather. Let the jeans be the hero piece and pair with a simple tank top and strappy sandals.
Vest + Shorts
Nothing says summer like an all-white outfit. From a Euro summer look to a brunch date, it is the color of the season.
Yes, punchy bright colors will always be a summertime favorite, but there is something about white that is regal and elegant.
Tee + Shorts + Sandals
A striped T-shirt is summer essential and one of the most versatile pieces in your closet. Pair it with linen pants or black shorts for simple brunch outfit ideas.
The best part about stripes? They’ll last you well after the summer (and even into the fall), no matter what color pattern you choose.
