It's often hard to plan the ideal outfit in advance. You simply can't cover every eventuality. Take bottomless brunch outfits. Free-spirited, but not as free-spirited as a full-on festival look; glam, but not as glam as going-out attire, it's a hard one to get pitch-perfect, especially if your plans develop spontaneously. But don't worry, we've had a scroll and found some fail-safe ideas on Instagram. From sequins and sneakers to one of our all-time favourite outfit formulas - the nice top and jeans - here are the outfit ideas you can copy now or bookmark for later.
A Sequin Dress + Sneakers
Irene Agbontaen captioned this photo, 'Minister of enjoyment uniform'. We couldn't agree more. The pairing of the sequinned minidress with sneakers feels fresh and, crucially, will mean that you'll be comfortable enough to carry on if the day drinking festivities turn into a night out.

A sequinned dress might be punchy - even in the category of bottomless brunch outfits. But slip this strappy dress over a T-shirt, and pair with Salomons, and it's the definition of casual-cool.

Bella Hadid is a big fan of this trainer brand.
A Blazer + Knee-High Boots
This is the ideal combo when it comes to bottomless brunch outfits because it can be subtly tweaked depending on where you end up. Take off the blazer if you're headed somewhere more casual. Carry some big earrings in your bag and you can switch it up if the vibe is snazzy. Just be sure to pack blister plasters if your boots still need wearing in. You don't want to do a Monica.

These riding boots are the perfect partner for mini skirts.
A Knitted Co-Cord + Beach Bag
A co-ord is definitely a cute outfit to consider when it comes to bottomless brunch outfits. It's comfortable, cool, can be dressed up or down and, finally, can also be worn as separates to really increase cost-per-wear. Plus, anything that can be worn on holiday (with flip-flops) and in real life (with a denim jacket) gets bonus points.

A Nice Top + Jeans
Don't overthink it. Sometimes the simplest outfit idea is the best, as is often the case when it comes to a classic 'nice top and jeans' combo. Grace McGovern shows you how it's done, dressing down a halter-neck top with straight-leg jeans and Nikes. A leather jacket would be the perfect finishing touch.

Everlane's straight-leg jeans are smart enough to wear for work if your office allows jeans, with seven different washes and three different leg lengths.
A T-Shirt And Mini Skirt
Model Roxy Reyes posted this casual on top, party on the bottom outfit - and it couldn't be a more perfect template for bottomless brunch outfits. The T-shirt, untucked and ever-so-slightly baggy, is the casual element, while the pleated mini and metallic pumps are pure party. If you're pushing the boat out with a fancy brunch, this outfit will turn heads for all the right reasons.
