Brunch in Brooklyn sounds like the perfect invitation, doesn’t it? Then comes the clunker – Where should we eat? What should I wear?

Vegan leather has never been better than it is now. Environmentally and socially conscious designers are bringing their A-game when it comes to creating bad-girl-gone-good statement pieces like this butter-soft trench coat with its of -the -moment pearl buttons. Fairytale pretty long lace dresses, like this practical as it is fancy all-cotton maxi can swing from brunch to a benefit gala in a heartbeat.

BYOB also stands for “Bring Your Own Bag” – shopping bag to be exact. There’s no chicer way to show up for a Saturday stroll or Sunday brunch that naturally turns into a shopping spree than with a sophisticated sustainable shopping bag swinging from your wrist, don’t you think?

Vagabond vibes are always right for a weekend brunch. Pop a patchwork poncho over jeans or over a simple dress.

Winter Is Coming

When it comes to cozy, cold weather, tweed wins my vote. Great texture for the winter. Shaggy faux fur collars and trims with dramatic shoulders are the updates for coats this season.

Woven in patterns are the most sophisticated way to wear polka dots, which are one of the hottest prints for fashion girls right now.

Hands-free bags and gold hardware (well, gold anything) are what’s happening in accessories now. And Ladies, remember this – neon works just like a neutral color. Look for accessories in day-glow pink, green, orange or yellow to add that shock of color to cheer-up on a chilly day.

When you think about brunch or dining with friends, think from the shoulders – because you’ll be seen from the chest up from across the table while kicking it over a latte martini or feeling wavy with a mocktail after ingesting your cannabis or CBD treat of choice.

Pretty In Pink

Sleeves are more important than you might think… From shoulders to cuffs sleeves play a big role for the dinner-table chic. Turn your head to the left, or to the right to chat with your brunch companions over your shoulder and you’ll look divine wearing dress with poofy pin-tucked embroidered sleeves like these ones.
