Brunch season doesn’t stop just because summer is over. While we’re still tapering off that seasonal heat at this very moment, we’ve already mentally jumped ahead to the crisp air of fall—quite frankly our favorite brunching weather of all. Without the beating sun, sweltering temperatures, and influx of muggy humidity we’re free to put our best fashion foot forward. Ahead of actual winter chills, there’s nothing that sounds better than a little fresh air as we eat french toast and drink Bloody Marys with our crew of friends on a Sunday morning.
Lucky for you I’m well-versed in this kind of thing. As the resident brunch expert of my friend group, I’ve learned the ins and outs of what to (and what not) to wear when it’s time to down a stack of pancakes and plates of eggs. Whether you’re heading to a diner or an exclusive spot, the key is to be comfortable and stylish. With either a fancy midi skirt and T-shirt, an effortless two-piece set dress, or vintage-inspired blue jeans, you’ll be good to go. Below, find my thoroughly endorsed brunch outfits for fall.
If it’s still slightly warm where you are, a knitted mini dress and an oversized blazer makes for the perfect combination. Add patent mary-janes for a French girl twist.
When you’re pushing back plates of pancakes, nothing beats the comfort of a comfy, knitted set. Opt for a vibrant color for extra pizazz.
If it’s a five-star kind of brunch spot, a chic pleated dress works every time. Throw on a cropped leather blazer for an extra hint of sophistication.
Equal parts trendy and elevated, you’ll get all the compliments with this look. The platform mary janes prevents this from feeling too sweet.
When you’re looking to turn up the sartorial heat, a graphic matching set will do the trick.
Sometimes you just want to chill with your food baby in peace. In that case, I can’t recommend a roomy sweater maxi dress any more. For a look that feels more intentional, style it with square toe ballet flats and narrow sunglasses.
The opened cardigan or “micro-cardigan” as I’m calling it for now is at fever pitch, so it take advantage of its trendiness and style it with cool cargo pants for your next bruch outing.
Don’t be deceived by the dressiness of the blazer and boots—this outfit still manages to incorporate leggings which is a holy grail piece when comfort is key.
Match the vibrancy of your mimosas with this saturated palette of color. Don’t forget to add a fun pair of statement earrings of your choice.
