Mother’s Day Brunch Looks From Home
Words Uyi Ilenbs
Mother’s Day is a time to reflect and celebrate the women in our lives that have
led and nurtured us, from our mentors to our favourite on-screen mothers and our very own mums that do it all. Being at home can feel a little conflicting when you want to experience the full bliss of Mother’s Day. This year we are not going to let a little distance stop us from celebrating and being celebrated, are we? It's family time and it should definitely go down with some style. To make your day even more special, how about bringing your favourite brunch spots to your very own dining table. Why should Tiffany’s tea sets and afternoon tea menu be a blast from the past? You deserve to treat yourselves to an at-home luxury brunch date with your loved ones. Gather the kids around the table, open your handcrafted cards and dine in style. There is no rule book for brunching at home.
It's difficult to find the right balance of just enough dressy to comfort ratio. The mom jeans were designed to perfection, the right amount of structure to effortlessly dress up or down with the switch of a top and some heels. Perhaps you are more of a circle skirt kind of girl? This mid-length skirt was birthed in the 50’s post-war and pioneered by Christian Dior’s new look. Feature some pleats in soft silk or opt for a dramatic flair with tulle. Bring to life a fairy-tale dream-like feeling with all the flowy movement you can handle. With this season's 'pretty pinks and sunny yellows' as front runners for spring budding styles. A square neckline on any blouse is the ideal pair for your casually dressed mum, power dresser, or silver fox. Accessories are usually the candied cherry on top but with this chosen neckline, you have orchestrated a playing ground for a statement piece or delicate necklace. Mules are perfect for any outfit of your choice. When choosing your ideal heel height, consider mid-heel mules that give you the same dress-up feel wrapper in a comfortable package. The truth is, there are no rules to what you can wear on your brunch but going chic always covers all ground.
STYLE TIP 1:
Do not compromise your comfort, even though you are at home and a high heel or extra tight blouse may seem bearable for a few hours, wearing clothes that allow for effortless movement shouldn’t have to be negotiated.
STYLE TIP 2:
Accessories are the glue to hold an outfit together. Don’t leave them till the last minute. Sometimes it helps to choose them first and build an outfit around them.
STYLE TIP 3:
Jacquard is the unfailing print fabric that will elevate you to regal queen status. If you’re feeling for that statement piece that wow factor go jacquard, blazers, blouses, skirts and even footwear.
STYLE TIP 4:
Dive into the world of mules as the range is perfect for all occasions and perfect for a spring brunch date.
Whether you're fortunate enough to have your family next to you or they are a zoom call away, this Mother’s Day you will definitely be wearing your best.
