You really can’t beat brunch with the girlies. The sizzling of bacon in the kitchen, the smell of fresh coffee being poured (or prosecco being popped…), and the sound of giggles erupting as someone spills the latest tea.

Whether you’re a poached eggs and salmon kinda girl or a sweet-toothed french toast bruncher, there’s one thing we know for sure: you’ll want to serve a killer outfit on the side of your feast.

Got a brunch with your besties in the diary? The expert team at SilkFred has pulled together a handy guide on what to wear to brunch, for every dress code. So whether you need to dress for a casual alfresco brunch this summer, or need something a little more glam for a bottomless brunch b’day, we’ve got you covered. Let’s tuck in…


What To Wear For Casual Brunch

Here at SilkFred, we’ll give any excuse to go out for a fabulous brunch. And if you ask us, you don’t need a special occasion to grab an eggs benny on a Sunday – whether you’re meeting up with an old friend, a colleague, or even your mum – we know it’s still nice to look and feel your best.

So, what does one wear to a casual brunch? Well, if you’re looking for something super cool and relaxed, to give that “just-rolled-out-of-bed” look, we love an oversized tee or graphic t-shirt, paired with your favourite blue jeans. Finish off your fit with some trainers and sunnies, and you’re good to go, babe. Want something slightly more elevated? Swap out that tee for a crisp white blouse, rolled up at the sleeves, and you’ll be serving chic.

What To Wear For Brunch with Family

Meeting the in-laws for the first time? Or perhaps you’re having a little family reunion at the local caff? Fear not, we’ve got you covered. For this occasion, you might want to opt for something a little more sophisticated. But this doesn’t need you to dress boring!

Take the ever-versatile and oh-so-flattering midi dress. Available in tonnes of different cuts, colours and styles to suit every shape, you really can’t go wrong with the midi. Plus, it’s super easy to style and will look like you’ve made so much more of an effort than throwing on your go-to “jeans and a nice top combo.” Now there are some extra brownie points if you’re out to impress your other half’s parents! Pair with some stylish flats and a blazer for extra sophistication, and voila.

Top tip: Remember you’ll be sitting down for most of the occasion, so comfort is key. Picking a midi length over a mini means you won’t have to worry about your dress riding up on your seat as you eat!

What To Wear For Bottomless Brunch

The one you’ve been waiting for. Our bottomless brunch outfit ideas. First of all,  it’s worth checking with your friends if there’s a particular theme for your bottomless (perhaps it’s a hen do, in which case, strictly no white ladies!). Once you’re sure of the dresscode, it’s time to have fun and piece your fit together.

Looking for something to wow the crowds? Why not go for a bright and bold mini dress. Easy to accessorise, and always cute, a mini is sure to be a showstopper at a bottomless. Simply add some strappy heels and a matching shoulder bag, and you’re ready to brave the brunch.

More of a lowkey girlie? No problem, why not go for the old faithful; the iconic LBD? This way, you can still be dressy but do it in your own way, bae. Style with a glam clutch if you want to elevate your look. We’re obsessed.
