What to Wear for Easter Brunch

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BU chapter.

Easter Sunday is quickly approaching, and we all know what that means: food, food and more food.

Whether you plan on eating a home-cooked meal with family or opt for dining out, the perfect meal could not be complete without the perfect ensemble. Have no fear. We’ve got you covered. Here is your guide to Easter brunch attire for a chic (and scrumptious) holiday.

1.     Pastels

With spring in the air, these light, airy colors are an obvious choice. Emulate your favorite pastel-colored pastries of the season with a monochromatic look utilizing, petal pinks, baby blues, and sunny yellows. Try color blocking for an added flair.

2.     Florals

When donning florals, opt for something other than the traditional dress, such as a billowing blouse or light shorts. Combine florals with muted pieces for contrast. Finish the ensemble with a tailored blazer and sleek heel for a look that is effortlessly executed.

3.     Classic Button-up

The denim button-up, a staple of many wardrobes, proves simple yet sophisticated. This piece is perfect for those desiring a more laid-back look, as it is easily accessible and universally flattering.

4.     All white

You truly cannot go wrong with this timeless look. Try a structured dress if you are attending a more formal event, otherwise opt for a flowy number (such as a belted shirt dress). Also, lace embellishments are always a welcome addition. Just be careful to avoid spills!

5.     Mid-length skirt

Although some may typically shy away from this style, the mid-length skirt, which hits just below the knee, is perfect for this Easter’s brunch. This more modest hemline is Hepburn-esque and can be paired with a lightweight blouse or sleeveless top to achieve that ultimate flawless quality.

6.     Black and white stripes

For this holiday, the overarching themes to remember are simple, subtle and elegant. In keeping with this aesthetic, black and white stripes are also a great option. The striped patterned can be found in variety of sizes (thick or thin) and styles (on blouses and dresses), but keep in mind that less is more. You can also experiment with adding a pop of color.
