Once the lunch and brunch menus switch from light and summery to cozy and fall-themed, so too do our dresses for the occasion. And no style is quite as elevated for a mid-day meal as the rich mom aesthetic — a trend popularized by TikTok. This is why we rounded up these 17 cozy-chic dresses for lunches and brunches — that all have a chic and refined rich mom feel.
Summer-to-fall menu switching looks a little bit like going from salads and fruit to more savory options like soup and anything apple-flavored. But summer-to-fall fashion switching looks a little bit like going from linens and spaghetti straps to knits and long sleeves. That’s what you’ll find in all of these fall-themed dresses below. We rounded up all of the fall styles we love like earthy and jewel-toned colors, cozier fabrics and warmer silhouettes. With one (or two or three) of these styles, you’ll be covered for any lunch and brunch that’ll get thrown your way this season — and look rich mom-chic while doing it.
