Brunch Style: Summer Trends

Summer has officially arrived and the team at Gals That Brunch couldn’t be more excited. To us, summer means enjoying days and nights on patios, being active outdoors, and spending as much time as close to or in a body of water as possible. But on the weekends, we typically like to include hitting up our favorite local spots for brunch & coffee.

We know that life looks a lot different now than it did last summer, so getting out to our favorite brunch spots isn’t always as accessible as it used to be. But, depending on where you live, if you have the chance to get out to brunch (safely, of course), we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite fashion trends for this season

Versatile Jumpsuits & Rompers

The idea of a one-piece ensemble has been a trend for a few seasons and we are seeing this translate into the summer season this year as well. Jumpsuits are the perfect piece to feel very comfortable and put together at the same time, which is what brunch outfit dreams are made of. Utility styling is leading this season, so think of linen or light twill fabrics, lots of pockets, and button or grommet details.

The only downfall is they can be a bit tricky to get on and off when you need to make a trip to the ladies, but nothing’s perfect, right?

Express has a great selection of jumpsuits and rompers that are perfect for summer days or summer nights!

Daytime Dresses

A summer dress is always a trend season over season, full of bright colors and gorgeous florals to make choosing your brunch outfit a breeze. Whether you choose a solid color, a fun print, or a striped option, throwing on a summer dress paired with cute sandals, your favorite sunglasses, and a tote or crossbody purse is the recipe for a perfect summer brunch look.

Banana Republic always has a beautiful selection of dresses in a wide range of colors, fabrics, and styles.

Pull-On Shorts + Pants

The name of the game for this summer is comfort. There’s so many adorable options for pants, crops, and shorts with a looser fit and pull-on styling for this summer season. In lightweight fabrics and with a wider leg, these bottoms are easy, breezy, and stylish.

Pull-on pants or shorts can easily pair with your favorite crop top, a fitted tank tucked in, or a tied-up graphic tee. Just add your favorite sandals, tote, and sunglasses for a look that will take you straight from the farmer’s market to the brunch table.

We love the linen seaside shorts from J.Crew that come in a variety of fun colors!

Stylish Face Masks

Besides comfort and versatility, safety is also a high priority for many people this summer. With the health pandemic still a player this season, and regulations for going out in public in many places either requiring or recommending wearing masks, it’s time to think of it as another accessory for your look. With big brands and local boutiques adding stylish masks to their apparel & accessories assortment, you’re sure to find a few that will keep you feeling safe and looking great.

We’re seeing a lot of cute prints, different fabrics, and even some luxe options that include velvet or sequins that will help take your mask game to the next level.

It seems like every brand is coming out with their own face masks, but we are loving all of the fun print options that Anthropologie is offering.
