9 Brunch Outfits Worth Instagramming Over Your Avocado Toast

When it comes to brunch, my feelings about the occasion are simple: It should be enjoyed at any given opportunity. I would brunch every day if I could (preferably with a mimosa in hand). However, there is something quite lovely about keeping brunch as a treat, especially when it presents you with a reason to wear an outfit you love.
Deciding what to wear to brunch has a lot of variables. You want to look stylish, that's a given, but you also want to be comfortable, particularly if you're having a brunch of the bottomless variety. That said, because you'll spend most of your time sitting, you don't necessarily need to think about the practicality of your look. In fact, brunch might give you the chance to wear the more fanciful clothes, shoes and accessories in your wardrobe.
To illustrate the sheer scope of brunch outfit ideas out there, I've rounded up nine impressive ensembles that ensure you'll look the part for the most stylish meal of the day. Scroll below to see them and to shop any pieces you might need to re-create them for yourself.
1. LAYERS OF LINEN
Style Notes: Slouchy layers are always the right smart/casual silhouette, and we promise a shirt and wide-leg trousers will be just as comfortable as your joggers but 100% more polished.
Shop the look:
2. FANCY HANDBAG + MINISKIRT
Style Notes: Chances are you'll be going home to rest after your brunch session, which means you needn't take a huge, practical bag with you. Instead, opt for your teeniest, fanciest arm candy.
Shop the look:
3. KNITTED DRESS + FLIP FLOPS
Style Notes: Dresses are a great option for brunch, as they're roomy and comfortable. Choose a knitted style to make it feel as if you're wearing loungewear and add summer's comfiest shoe, the flip flop.
Shop the look:
4. SHIRT + BIKE SHORTS
Style Notes: Leggings are a solid brunch option, particularly if you style them with a cool shirt as Jessica Torres did, but we think biker shorts make for a cool summertime alternative to ankle-grazing styles.
Shop the look:
5. INTERESTING LAYERS + STRAW TOTE
Style Notes: If you're prone to feeling the chill, even when sitting in a café or restaurant, wear clever layers instead of a coat or jacket. We promise you'll feel more fashionable.
Shop the look:
6. WHITE SHIRT + JEANS
Style Notes: You can never go wrong with a white shirt and jeans—just be sure to tuck in that napkin to ensure you don't get stains on your Daz whites.
Shop the look:
7. MINIDRESS + SIMPLE ACCESSORIES
Style Notes: Give your minidresses a brunch spin with the addition of timeless and minimal accessories, just like Chrissy Ford did.
Shop the look:
8. NICE TOP + DENIM SHORTS
Style Notes: We all know that jeans and a nice top is an outfit formula that works—update it for the warmer months by swapping out the full-length jeans for a pair of cute denim shorts.
Shop the look:
9. PRETTY DRESS + FLAT SANDALS
Style Notes: Don’t feel the need to save your best dresses for best. Give your prettiest frocks a brunchtime-spin with a pair of flat, tan sandals. They'll make your outfit look more effortless in an instant.
