You'll Want to Take Screenshots of These Adorable Outfits For Your Next Brunch Date

You’re chilling in bed, mindlessly scrolling through Instagram and debating whether or not to try whipping something up for breakfast, when the notification pops up: “Wanna go get brunch? 👀” The answer is yes, obvi, but now you’re faced with the question of what to wear —how do you pick out the best brunch outfits when you aren’t 100% sure what the vibe is going to be?

One of the easiest solutions is to text your besties and ask what they're going to be wearing. But if you’re the fashion connoisseur of your friend group and you’re bravely leading the style charge, you’ll want to ask yourself a few questions. Is this a casual breakfast, like a visit to your local diner, or will it be a dressed-up lunch where multiple IG pics will be taken? And how do you nail down the vibe you want for this particular avocado-toast-iced-coffee-pancakes-and-french-toast extravaganza, in OOTD form?

The good news is that brunch is super chill. It's a great excuse to put on some cute clothes, but there's no need to break out your prom dress. The very concept of brunch ignores the rules of traditional meals, so why should there be strict rules about what you can (or can’t) wear? Throw a leather jacket over your sports bra and leggings for that effortless vibe if you’re heading to brunch post-pilates, add a baseball cap and cute sneaks to your favorite sweatsuit set, or break out a casual sundress if it’s a brunch date. It's truly up to you.

TL;DR: The best brunch outfits are the ones that are casually comfy-cute, are easy to throw on, and have stretchy waistbands...so you can stuff your face with waffles. Keep scrolling for some of our favorite brunch 'fit inspo.
