Spring has sprung and it’s time to celebrate with an alfresco activity. Whilst I’m partial to a long afternoon in a buzzing beer garden, my first booking of the season will be to my favourite brunch spot to enjoy some enjoy a serving of vitamin D alongside my pancakes.
Excited to indulge in my favourite weekend activity, you can bet that I already have a very clear vision of exactly what I’ll be wearing to my forthcoming brunch dates. Now that the spring sun shining down, I’ve noticed an uptick in interest in “brunch dresses” on Google Trends, so, below I’ve rounded up four of my favourite dress trends to see me through my booking.
During the selection process of this edit I made sure to prioritise comfortable silhouettes that will see you through the course of a long brunch with loved ones. Prioritising voluminous silhouettes, breathable fabrics, and new-season trends, read on to discover the best brunch dresses to style this season.
SHOP THE BRUNCH DRESSES WE’RE LOVING RIGHT NOW:
1. A VOLUMINOUS MINI
Style Notes: Delivering maximum comfort and a feminine finish, a voluminous mini is the weekend staple I’ve been searching for. If the weather calls for it, style with knee-high boots and a denim jacket to keep you cosy, otherwise wear with leather mary janes or a barley-there sandal.
SHOP THE TREND:
Ganni
Leopard Open-Back Mini Denim Dress
The leopard print trend is on the up this spring.
I always come back to Doen for their beautiful summer dresses.
Faithfull The Brand
Noria Smocked Organic Cotton-Poplin Mini Dress
Style with knee high boots or wear with a strappy sandal.
2. WHITE COTTON DRESS
Style Notes: White cotton dresses are trending for a reason and there are so many amazing options on the market right now. Offering a fresh and classic design that’s ready for the warmest months, the breezy dress delivers a classic look that’s perfect for photographing over the course of a long brunch date.

3. STRAPLESS DRESS
Style Notes: For it’s breathability and versatility, a strapless dress will always be my go-to for elevated daily styling. For a mid-morning brunch appointment be sure to opt for a style with some stretch, and don’t be afraid to experiment with accessories to nail the tone of the occassion.
