Brunch plans?
Cute.
Nobody spends three hours getting ready for breakfast.
Brunch, however...
Now that's a completely different story.
Because somewhere along the way… Brunch stopped being about avocado toast and
matcha.
It's about finding a café with good lighting. Cute aesthetics. And posting on socials.
It's a soft launch. A catch-up. A mini photoshoot. A reason to finally wear that outfit!
And somehow... the plan that started with "Let's meet for brunch" always ends with shopping. A bookstore visit. Dessert at a new place. And someone saying, "Since we're already out..."
Exactly why your outfit needs to be ready for all of it.
At Westside brunch dressing is all about effortless style that keeps up with your plans. Think breezy dresses. Easy linen. Relaxed denim. Matching co-ords and accessories that make it look like you have your life together... Even if your screen time says otherwise.
Because brunch deserves better than a last-minute outfit panic.
So... What's The Brunch Dress Code?
Officially? There isn't one.
Unofficially? Oh there absolutely is!
Cute. But not trying too hard.
Comfortable. But still compliment-worthy.
Relaxed enough to order waffles. Stylish enough to accidentally run into your ex.
Balance.
Why Does Brunch Suddenly Feel Like Fashion Week?
Nobody is judging. Yet somehow... Everybody is judging.
You walk into the café. Immediately scan the room.
Cute dress. Love her bag. Need those sunglasses.
Mental notes have already been taken before the waiter even brings the water.
Brunch isn't competitive.
It's just... Observational.
So... What's Your Brunch Personality?
The "I woke up like this" girl. She absolutely did not.
She's wearing an oversized linen shirt. Relaxed trousers. Chunky jewellery. And looks effortlessly expensive.
The floral dress girl.
Sunny. Cheerful. Probably ordered pancakes. Definitely said, "Guys... let's sit outside!"
The co-ord queen.
Because matching sets deserve awards. Minimal effort. Maximum compliments.
The denim devotee.
Wide-leg jeans. A crisp shirt. Statement belt. Coffee in one hand. Confidence in the other.
The maximalist.
Bright colours. Bold prints. Fun accessories. Basically the human version of dopamine dressing.
Every brunch table needs one.
Can You Ever Be Overdressed for Brunch?
Absolutely not!
Brunch is one of the few places where sunglasses indoors make sense.
Where ordering a second iced latte feels productive.
Where saying, "Wait... don't touch your food yet." Is completely normal behaviour.
If everyone is dressing up... You're simply participating.
Why Is Brunch Basically a Group Photoshoot?
Nobody eats immediately.
First comes...
The table picture.
The drinks picture.
The outfit picture.
The "walking naturally" picture.
Twenty-seven attempts later...
Someone finally says, "Okay... now we can eat."
At this point the coffee's cold.
Totally worth it!
What's The Secret To Looking Effortlessly Cool?
Spoilers! Nobody actually wakes up looking effortless.
The trick is choosing pieces that do the heavy lifting.
A dress that moves with you. Linen that somehow makes everything feel expensive. Denim you'll happily wear all day. A shirt you can throw over literally anything.
Add a cute bag. Minimal jewellery. Your favourite sunglasses.
Done!
Very Sofia Richie.
Very "Oh this? I just threw it on."
Sure.
What Happens After Brunch?
That's the funny thing. Brunch is never just brunch.
Somehow it turns into...
Shopping. A stroll through cute lanes. Dessert. An impromptu bookstore visit. A sunset drive. Or somebody casually saying, "Should we watch a movie?"
One plan. Five plot twists.
Your outfit should be ready for all of them.
Whether your brunch mood is floral and feminine, relaxed linen, cool-girl denim or effortlessly put together co-ords, Westside has looks that are ready for every coffee date, café catch-up and weekend plan that lasts the whole day.
Head to your nearest Westside store or browse online before your group chat sends the message...
"Sooo... what are we wearing?"
Because let's face it...
Brunch isn't served until the outfit is.
