Three Looks That’ll Take You From Brunch to Dinner
A casual brunch, quick lunch, or even a business dinner. There’s something to be said about dressing to impress. Dress codes can vary greatly depending on the occasion, but we’ve got a few ideas to help. Below we’ve laid out 3 unique outfits for three different dining scenarios.
Brooklyn Brunch
It’s 12:30pm on a balmy Spring afternoon—relaxed yet presentable is the name of the game here. The Mesh Bonded Windbreaker is a lightweight layer that’s perfect for rain or shine, while our BKLYN Joggers are incredibly comfortable and smart looking. Pair them with a crisp button-up and now you’re presentable. The suede and nylon Saucony sneakers with splattered paint soles add a bit of verve to the outfit. Perfect for a day that will inevitably lead to an evening of bar-hopping and day-drinking.
Midtown Lunch
Midtown can be tough. It’s crowded, loud, and there’s a puzzling mix of tourists and businessmen. This is a casual, yet stylish outfit that’ll have you in and out, quick and easy. The layers are loose, comfortable, and easy to remove, so you’re prepared for air-conditioned restaurants and ready to work up a sweat weaving through crowds. The grey hoodie is a simple and stylish piece that transcends the youthful stereotype. Which means, you can be a bit bolder with what you choose to layer with.
Uptown Dinner
If your dinner plans are more business than pleasure, you may have to elevate your outfit a bit. In this scenario we suggest keeping the wardrobe pretty safe—nothing too jazzy, but definitely not boring. Our khaki Geo pants are smart enough to wear for dinner, especially when paired with the Perry Blazer, which is still casual if you choose to end the night at a bar with friends. The minimal sneakers exude toned down formality, while sunglasses and sleek accessories keep you looking smart and stylish.
