Brunch Outfits

Relaxed shirts, fine knitwear, silk skirts and leather loafers for weekend brunch from independent boutiques.

Brunch outfits balance relaxed ease with neat tailoring across light shirts, soft knitwear, silk skirts and fluid trousers. Draped cuts in linen and cashmere soften the look, while clean lines keep it tidy. Ivory, beige, blue, green and black hold the palette together.

The word brunch, a blend of breakfast and lunch, was coined in Britain in the eighteen nineties, and the meal caught on in New York in the nineteen twenties. RUOHAN, a womenswear label known for precise, minimal tailoring, brings skirts and tops. thom/krom, a Berlin menswear label known for raw edges and asymmetric cuts, brings its tees. Patou carries the name of the Paris couturier Jean Patou, who designed sportswear for women and dressed the tennis player Suzanne Lenglen.

Pair a light silk skirt with a loose cashmere knit, or a relaxed poplin shirt with straight leg trousers. WDLT117 in Toronto brings silk pieces, skirts and draped tops, Due West in Toronto brings linen and cotton shirts, tees and knitwear, and Utopia in Toronto adds Dior and Hermes.

Common questions

How should someone style brunch outfits?

Balance soft textures against crisp tailoring, pairing loose silk skirts with fine knitwear or relaxed cotton shirts with straight leg trousers. Light tones like ivory, blue, and beige keep daytime silhouettes sharp without feeling rigid.

Which designers make pieces suitable for brunch outfits?

RUOHAN, a womenswear label known for precise, minimal tailoring, brings skirts and tops. thom/krom, a Berlin menswear label known for raw edges, brings plain tees, and Patou carries the name of the Paris couturier Jean Patou.

Where did brunch come from?

The word brunch, a blend of breakfast and lunch, was coined in Britain, and the late meal became popular among the well off in New York. Today it is a relaxed meal, so easy pieces like a silk skirt, a linen shirt or a soft knit suit it.
