How to Dress for a Mother's Day Brunch

Embrace an elegant and feminine look for attending a Mother's Day brunch. Dress fashionably by wearing print shirts and suit separates or spring dresses and strappy sandals. For such an event, accent your wardrobe with delicate accessories, hats and scarves to boost your overall spring appeal.

Instructions

1. Wear a spring dress to any Mother's Day occasion and indulge in the sweeter side of spring. Jazz up your selection with a ruffled or chiffon dress in patterns that reflect the vibrant colors of spring.

2. Choose to wear light pants and a jacket if you shy away from dresses. Go for a blazer-style jacket made with ultra-refined stretch wool for a comfortable fit. A suit jacket with angled flap pockets and vented three-button cuffs is a perfect coordinate for a brunch event. To dress up the pants, wear a fashionable belt that has a decorative buckle.

3. Dress in a spring wrap shirt for style as well as comfort. You should wear clothing that is easy to move in so you can easily navigate the restaurant or carry out your duties as hostess. A wrap shirt goes well with a simple skirt or capri pants. Select a woven shirt that features long fabric ties that you can secure at your side.

4. Look extra fabulous on Mother's Day when you put on clothing and shirts with stylish details. Wear a shirt with a point collar, pleats at the base of the wrap and French cuffs with sparkly buttons.

5. Learn how to wear a hat with style and grace. Choose a hat that is understated, but has decorative flair. Sometimes you just need a hat with a slight brim to pull off a fashionable look that doesn't scream "Kentucky Derby!" Find a hat with a bit of patterned chiffon and that is made of a soft fabric. Check out a type of fabric used for hats called toyo-braid, which looks like soft straw and feels almost like cloth.

6. Adorn your outfit with accessories and jewelry. Add a touch of your personal style to a blazer lapel with a flower or vintage rhinestone pin. Another way to kick up your spring style is to pair one or two chunky bangle bracelets with a dress or suit.

Tips & Warnings

• Call the restaurant, or place where the brunch will be held, to find out the acceptable dress code for patrons. Ask the manager or receptionist if the attire is formal, business casual or laid-back.
