Brunch is one of my favorite things to do on the weekend. A cross between breakfast and lunch (I almost always order breakfast though!), brunch is a fun time to catch up with the girls or your family. Summer is the best time to grab brunch, when the weather is warm and breezy. There are no hard and fast rules about what to wear to a brunch. I prefer to dress up a bit! But, you should wear something that’s comfortable and makes you feel good. My sheer blouse below and paperbag shorts make the perfect brunch outfit. I’m sharing details on this outfit, plus a few other ideas on what to wear to summer brunch in today’s post.

Brunch Outfit Ideas
Dressy Sunday Brunch Outfit
My style is always a little bit dressy. So, naturally I reach for a statement blouse when I’m headed to Sunday brunch. All my favorites are by Zimmermann. But, they’re very pricey (I get mine on sale). You can find some similar, but much less expensive options, at Target like this one. Paired with some dressed up shorts and a pair of kitten heels, you’re styled to perfection.

Feminine Brunch Outfit – Floral Print Dress
Of course, if your style is more feminine then a floral dress is the perfect outfit choice for brunch. Amazon has an incredible selection of chic, but affordable floral maxi dresses, like this one. At only $32, you can’t beat the price! Abercrombie has also been stepping up their game with beautiful dresses like this one. Finally, I love the options at Reformation like this one and this one. Don’t forget to bring your denim jacket (I own this one) with you to throw over your shoulders!

Easy Brunch Outfit – Classic White Dress
Last minute invite to brunch? No problem. Throw on a little white dress and your favorite accessories. English Factory always makes affordable styles like this one you can keep on hand for this type of situation. Or, you can wear a classic shirt dress. Then, keep your accessories on trend with clear strap heels (love this pair) and a puffy bag like this one. Your effortlessly chic aesthetic will be the envy of other guests.

Casual Brunch Outfit – Denim Shorts
Putting together a laid back look for brunch is easy. Just grab your favorite pair of denim shorts (mine are Agolde) and any top in your closet. Bodysuits are a popular choice. But, my closet is full of white tops like this one that are simple but have pretty eyelet details. Another massive fashion trend right now are smocked tops. They’re very figure flattering which is a smart idea after a big, delicious brunch! Then, keep it casual with a pair of Veja sneakers (read my full review on them)!
Brunch is a great idea any time of the year. But, in my opinion the options for what to wear to summer brunch are the best. From head-to-toe neutrals or chic dresses, you’ll be best dressed at your favorite social activity.
