There’s something about brunch that invites a little extra effort, whether you’re sipping lattes in the West Village or catching up with friends over eggs and espresso martinis. And while the menu might change, one thing stays the same: the perfect outfit. Equal parts polished and effortless, the best brunch outfits strike a balance between looking like you tried just enough and feeling completely comfortable. Think crisp shirting, slouchy trousers, elevated denim, and maybe a pop of designer sunglasses for good measure.
Need inspiration? Look no further than the off-duty wardrobes of style icons like Hailey Bieber, Gigi Hadid, Zendaya, and more, whose brunch-ready looks are a masterclass in laid-back luxury. Ahead, the brunch outfits every stylish woman needs this season—no reservations required.

It’s a quietly confident outfit that proves the beauty mogul’s mastery of elevated off-duty dressing.
