20 Cute Outfits To Wear To A Brunch Date

I’ve learned to pick my brunch date outfits carefully after showing up overdressed one too many times. The first time someone asked me out for 11am mimosas, I panicked and wore cocktail attire — completely wrong energy for daylight dining. Brunch dates occupy this tricky middle ground between casual and put-together, and most women get the balance wrong. The key is understanding what brunch actually is: relaxed but intentional. You want to look like you made an effort without trying too hard. After years of styling clients for everything from coffee dates to gallery openings, I’ve noticed the same mistakes repeatedly. Women either show up looking like they’re heading to the gym or dressed for dinner at 8pm. Neither works.

Styling Tips

• • Before anything else, make sure you have all the accessories and items that you plan on wearing for your date. You don’t want to be late. Double-check everything at least a day before your brunch date.

• • Try out your brunch date outfit beforehand and have a thorough look at yourself in the mirror to make sure everything is on point.

• • If you are going to opt for a palazzo or loose pants, a fitted top would be better to balance your look.

• • Since a brunch date is mostly casual, try to avoid cocktail dresses, skintight or seethrough outfits.

• • While choosing your casual brunch outfits, pair it with moderate accessories and medium length heels.
