The $250 Outfit: Sunday Brunch

Here's a foolproof weekend ensemble that won't break the bank

We take brunch very seriously here at InsideHook. So too, the brunch ensemble.

The hour between breakfast and lunch calls for an outfit built on two founding principles: “I just rolled out of bed” and “Or did I?” Slouchy but clean. Comfortable but fitted. Relaxed but not heading-to-the-dining-hall relaxed.

Remember: while brunch has gotten complicated (looking at you, pour-over Chemex for the table), your outfit doesn’t have to be. Here are four items that add up to less than $250, will attract second glances from the hostess and wear coffee stains well.

Artfully tousled hair sold separately.

1) Uniqlo Men’s Selvedge Jean $49.90
2) Topman Longsleeve Stone Twill $50
3) Levi’s Line 8 Trucker Jacket $84 $62.90
4) Native Apollo Chukka $85

Grand Total (excluding tax): $247.80
