What to Wear to Brunch by Occasion 

Now that warmer weather has officially arrived, one of our favorite activities is sitting at an outdoor cafe and eating brunch. When it comes to the midday activity, deciding what to wear can be extremely difficult, as it is largely dependent on who you are having brunch with. When gathering with friends, go for something cool and comfortable, but if you are dining with your in-laws, you need a look that reads sophisticated and polished. Ahead, three brunch outfits to wear this spring.
