The perfect occasion to dress up and pull out those more expensive pieces from your closet is when you’re dining out. If you’re ready to dress up for dinner (or breakfast, brunch, or lunch!) and want to spend a night out of your tracksuit bottoms, I’ve included 13 outfit suggestions below that feel amazing but aren’t over the top for a more laid-back reservation.
Even though we might need extra garments to eat outside comfortably, Instagram is awash with ideas for summer and fall ensembles. For ideas on what to wear to your next restaurant lunch, keep scrolling.
