Where the Garden Brunch style comes from
Eating outdoors in a garden has been a social favourite for centuries, from grand garden parties to simple weekend brunches on a patio. The best outfits for it have always taken their cue from the setting: greens, florals and natural textures that blend with leaves and blossoms.
Today's garden brunch style mixes cottagecore and smart-casual: midi dresses, linen, straw and wicker, with a little gold jewellery. It should look polished enough for photos but stay comfortable for a long, sunny meal outside.
Garden brunch outfit ideas: what to wear
- A midi dress in sage green, a soft floral print or a warm earthy tone.
- A woven or wicker bag, or a small structured bag in tan or brown.
- A headband, clip or ribbon to keep hair neat outdoors.
- Delicate gold or wooden jewellery.
- Flat sandals, espadrilles or block heels that will not sink into grass.
- A light cardigan or shawl for a breezy morning.
Where to wear it
- Weekend brunch with friends or family.
- Garden parties, bridal showers and baby showers.
- Spring and summer birthdays held outdoors.
- Flower markets, botanical gardens and picnics.
Styling tips
- Build on green and brown, the colours of the garden, and keep accents soft.
- Choose one floral or leafy print and keep the rest plain.
- Natural textures like straw, wood and linen look right in a garden.
- Keep hair soft and tidy: a braid or half-up style with a pretty clip.
