Classic formal brunch outfits for men need tailoring that does not look stiff. This edit builds four complete looks from grey trousers, white and grey shirts, loafers and one grey suit. Prices run from ₹900 to ₹5,599, so value comes from pieces that also work for meetings and dinners.

Look 1 of 4

The Suit Brunch Look

This is the strongest brunch look: a grey suit with a white textured shirt. Black moccasins keep it from feeling like a boardroom. What to keep in mind: The suit is dry clean only.

4 piecesComplete look ₹12,058.25 (sum of each piece's current price; pieces are bought separately)View products Open this look: The Suit Brunch Look
Flat lay of a grey two-piece polyester-cotton suit, a herringbone cotton formal shirt, obsidian black buckle moccasins and a black-dial watch with a steel strap.

Swap it

Complete look = the 4 pieces' current prices added up, without the swaps. Each piece is sold separately by its own store, and prices can change.

What we like

  • Moccasins instead of formal lace-ups stop the suit feeling like a boardroom.
  • The herringbone weave gives the white shirt texture against the plain grey suit.

Keep in mind

  • The WINTAGE suit is dry clean only, so a brunch spill means a trip to the cleaner.
  • The suit is polyester-cotton, so it gets warm at a daytime brunch in the heat.

Look 2 of 4

The Grey Shirt Brunch Look

A grey structured shirt is softer than white but still formal. Black trousers and moccasins keep it clean. What to keep in mind: The Raymond shirt has only 99 ratings.

4 piecesComplete look ₹7,120 (sum of each piece's current price; pieces are bought separately)View products Open this look: The Grey Shirt Brunch Look
Flat lay of a grey structured cotton shirt, ink black textured formal trousers, black leather moccasins and a black-dial analogue watch.

Swap it

Complete look = the 4 pieces' current prices added up, without the swaps. Each piece is sold separately by its own store, and prices can change.

What we like

  • Grey and black is a sober pairing that stays formal without a tie or jacket.
  • Moccasins are easier to wear than lace-ups, which suits a relaxed brunch.

Keep in mind

  • Both the shirt and trousers are slim fit, so this isn't the outfit for a heavy brunch buffet.
  • A grey cotton shirt shows sweat patches quickly, so it suits an air-conditioned brunch more than a hot terrace.

Look 3 of 4

The Striped Brunch Look

A fine stripe adds interest while keeping the outfit formal. Grey pleated trousers soften the look. What to keep in mind: The Particle trousers need hemming.

4 piecesComplete look ₹6,048 (sum of each piece's current price; pieces are bought separately)View products Open this look: The Striped Brunch Look

Swap it

Complete look = the 4 pieces' current prices added up, without the swaps. Each piece is sold separately by its own store, and prices can change.

What we like

  • The fine white stripe adds interest while staying formal enough for a dressy brunch.
  • Double-pleated gabardine trousers give a softer, roomier line than slim flat-fronts.
  • Buckle moccasins add a detail that suits brunch better than plain lace-ups.

Keep in mind

  • The Particle trousers need hemming, so allow time for a tailor before you wear them.

Look 4 of 4

The Moccasin Brunch Look

Black moccasins and a white shirt keep brunch formal but easy. Grey trousers balance the look. What to keep in mind: The Arvind shirt is a cotton blend and can feel warm.

What we like

  • The stripe breaks up the grey-on-grey, so the outfit doesn't look flat.
  • Black leather loafers and a steel watch keep it formal without lace-ups.

Keep in mind

  • The Arvind shirt is a cotton blend and can feel warm at an outdoor brunch.

Final thoughts

One grey trouser and one white shirt make brunch easy. Add a suit jacket only when the café calls for it.
