Rooftop Brunch Outfits Men Can Wear: White Shirt, Camel Corduroy and Black Loafers

Styled by our editors · Updated · 4 pieces · Complete look ₹2,945 · Prices checked

The outfit

Of all brunch outfits men wear outdoors, a white shirt over camel trousers is the hardest to get wrong. White is cool and bright against the sky; camel is warm and mid-toned, so the two read as a pair without matching. Black loafers and black wayfarers repeat one dark note at the feet and the face. What to keep in mind: The trousers are corduroy, a warm fabric; keep this look for a winter rooftop, or take the khaki cotton swap in summer.

Our verdict

Of the brunch outfits men can wear on a rooftop, this is the easiest to trust: a crisp white cotton shirt over camel corduroy, with black loafers and black wayfarers repeating one dark note top and bottom.

What we like

  • White over camel pairs a cool light with a warm mid tone, so the outfit looks chosen.
  • Black at the face and feet frames the light outfit from both ends.
  • The pure cotton shirt breathes under a rooftop sun.
  • Complete for ₹2,945, sunglasses included.

Keep in mind

  • Camel corduroy is too warm for a summer rooftop at midday.
  • The Moonx lenses are not listed as polarised, so they won't cut glare off glass tables.
  • The Bata loafers' synthetic upper can feel warm on a humid afternoon.

Why it works

A rooftop puts the outfit in full light, so the colour relationships have to hold up in sun. White and camel do: one is cool and bright, the other warm and earthy, and the contrast between them reads as intent rather than accident. The black loafers and black wayfarers are placed at opposite ends of the body, so one dark note frames the whole light outfit and gives the eye a top and a bottom. Texture adds the rest: smooth pure cotton above, ribbed corduroy below. Swap the camel corduroy for the khaki cotton trousers and the outfit becomes cooler to wear and more relaxed to look at, which suits a summer rooftop. Swap the loafers for white sneakers and the outfit drops from rooftop to café.

Frequently asked questions

What do men wear to a rooftop brunch?
A light, breathable shirt, warm-toned trousers, loafers and sunglasses. A rooftop is dressier than a café and sunnier than a restaurant, so a white cotton shirt over camel or khaki trousers covers both.
Do black loafers go with camel trousers?
Yes. Black loafers give camel trousers a clear dark end, which makes the outfit read sharper; tan loafers make it softer and warmer. Repeat the black somewhere else, like sunglasses, so the shoes don't look isolated.
