Brunch is one of those occasions where you do not really know whether to dress up or dress down. It is too early for a fancy night outfit but too late to dress overly casual in jeans. A simple dress and killer heels are the perfect solution.
Simple little black dresses (LBDs) are perfect for any occasion at anytime. They are chic, effortless looks that say, “I’m not trying too hard, but I still want to impress.” For brunch, taking the simplicity of the LBD but putting a spin on it will do the trick. Instead of opting for a black dress, try white or a bold color like coral or aqua.
If you choose a white dress, like in the picture above, make the outfit pop with a bold shoe color like deep blue or red or even a combination-color shoe. Because brunch is a semi-formal event, it is important to have minimal accessories. A pearl-like or stud earring as pictured is a great touch because it is not overbearing and frames the face well.
If you choose a colored dress, pair it with a cutout wedge in a neutral color. The colored dress is a statement piece itself so an abstract shoe will add just the right amount of flare to the ensemble. In regards to accessorizing, keep the attention of the outfit from the neck down. Instead of choosing an earring, try choosing bangles or rings to keep the focus on the dress.
One Simple Change: Just left brunch and have a date with a cute guy or a night out with your girls? Add a tailored trench coat to your dress with a bold clutch. Those accessories dress the outfit up and make it appropriate for a night out.
