Few things are worth getting out of bed early on a weekend for, but one thing that in my eyes is 100% worth it is brunch. I’ll happily emerge from my duvet cocoon at the first mention of buttermilk pancakes or gooey eggs florentine.
The brunch (and really, weekend in general) dress code varies depending on what your plans are and where you’re off to. If you’re a regular at your local café, a casual jeans-and-tee combo will suffice. In some city locations, on the other hand, an elevated getup feels more appropriate—especially if your meal is served with mimosas. Plus, when you’re finally out-of-office, I feel one should always seize the opportunity to get a little dressed up!
At this point, I’m a bona fide brunch expert, so I feel qualified in offering some ensemble advice. Wherever you go for your mid-morning nosh, there are important—nay, crucial—factors to keep in mind: Firstly, and most pressingly, you should feel unrestricted. Choose relaxed, loose-fitting or stretchy clothing that will allow for the impending food baby (particularly if you’ve opted for a bottomless brunch). Something like a flowy midi dress or stretch-waist trousers.
Secondly, consider nifty layers that can easily come off once you’re seated and ready to eat. It’s autumn, so you’ll need something to chuck on for the journey to and from, but the last thing you want is to wind up in a sweat midway through your first cup of hot coffee.
