The group may decide on the dress code, or it may be a free-for-all, but it’s never a bad thing to show off your individual style. We guarantee you already have options in your closet that are just right for any brunch spot. Whether you’re channeling the classic workwear aesthetic, going for a garden tea party fit, or dressing like a casual cool girl, the possibilities are endless.

01. A long skirt & sweater

Ever since that TikTok sound went viral I’ve been pulling out my long skirts weekly. A midi or maxi skirt is the perfect way to dress up without being too dressy. Pairing it with a nice sweater and trendy loafers completes the It Girl outfit. Top it off with your favorite handbag and you’re ready to go.
