With the weather finally warming up, it’s time to retire our sweats. The excitement for spring/summer plans is piling up, and with it, so are our diaries for lunch dates. After being stuck in sweats and zoom-appropriate attire for a year, it can be hard to find the inspiration for dressy lunch dates, which is why we’ve put together a look book of lunch date looks to get you inspired!
With the Girls
For the perfect casual yet dressy outfit for a lunch date with the girls, keep it simple with a white ruched skirt, paired with a graphic mesh top and accent colours in a shoulder bag and low sling-back mules. Throw your hair back into a claw clip and add a pair of cat-eye shades for an extra flash of class. Perfect for some midday cocktails or an elegant brunch on a sunny street.
Family Brunch
Heading to meet the family in a cafe or restaurant for brunch? A preppy ensemble is your answer, with a V-neck knit sweater, a black tailored skirt, monogrammed tights, a pearl handle shoulder, and some chunky mules to polish it all off.
‘60s Spring Lunch
The perfect ensemble to listen to ABBA in en route to your lunch date, try a patterned, brightly coloured open back top paired with some tailored shorts and accessorised with matching chunky heels, a mini bag, and chunky gold hoops. Try a silk scarf as a hair accessory to dress up the look even further.
Light Lunch
For a light and airy spring lunch look, a white and pastel combo is ideal. A white cotton skater skirt paired with a pale green collared top makes for the perfect spring palette. Accessorise with a white shoulder bag and simple silver hoops to elevate the look.

Lime ‘n Lilac
For a more casual approach, some denim jeans paired with a bright satin corset and low pastel-coloured heels are the perfect balance for a casual lunch attended in style. A subtle short chain necklace and a pastel shoulder bag to tie the look together fuses the colours seamlessly and makes for a pretty spring-toned look.
Cherry Sweet
The perfect spring lunch date look is never complete without a puffy sleeve or some heart details. A puffy organza dress with a cute pattern, some white mules, and some heart earrings are perfect to create the cute look. Add a statement heart-shaped bag to match the earrings and make the dress pattern pop.
