Easter Sunday isn’t just about church, chocolate eggs, or brunch with family—it’s also one of fashion’s most delightful moments. Think of it as the springtime version of Christmas glam, only lighter, softer, and infinitely more fun. It’s the day when everyone brings out their Sunday best, and by “best,” we mean pastels, pleats, and the prettiest things you can’t wear just anywhere. If you’re the kind of girl who already knows what she’s wearing for the holiday two weeks in advance—or if you’re the one scrambling the night before—this one’s for you. Here’s your no-fuss, all-fabulous guide to looking Easter-ready without looking like you tried too hard.
1. Florals
Groundbreaking? No. But eternally chic? Absolutely. Easter is one of the few days when wearing a flowery dress feels entirely right, cliché and all. Look for pieces with a romantic silhouette—wrap dresses, tea-length hems, soft ruffles. Think more English garden party, less prom bouquet. If florals aren’t your thing, try a delicate toile or a subtle gingham—they’re just as festive without screaming “bloom.”
2. Pastel Power Moves
There’s something about Easter that makes pastels feel powerful. Lavender, blush pink, mint green, powder blue—these are your best friends this season. But here’s the trick: toughen them up a little. Pair a pale yellow dress with sharp white heels, or layer a baby blue blazer over a crisp mini dress. Structured accessories will keep the look from veering into little-girl-territory.
3. The Church-to-Brunch Balance
This is key. You want an outfit that works for sitting through a sermon and sipping bottomless mimosas after. The secret? Modesty with a twist. A midi-length dress with an interesting neckline. A high-neck blouse with wide-leg trousers in an unexpected shade. You don’t have to cover up completely—just keep it elegant. No bodycon, no clubwear. This isn’t a rooftop party in December.
4. Don’t Sleep on Suits
Suits for Easter? Yes, please. Especially now that designers are serving them up in everything from lilac linen to soft buttercream tweed. A well-tailored suit with a bralette underneath (or a silk cami if you’re keeping it PG) is effortlessly cool. Add a straw hat or a satin headband and you’ve got the kind of ‘fit that whispers fashion insider, not fashion victim.
5. Statement Accessories, but Keep It Sweet
Easter Sunday isn’t the day for your most outrageous fashion experiments: no neon sunnies or BDSM-level corset belts. Instead, go for accessories with charm and character—a beaded clutch, pearl-drop earrings, maybe even gloves if you’re feeling extra ladylike. If you’re doing a lot of neutrals or solids, this is your chance to add texture and whimsy. Raffia, lace, floral appliqués? Bring them on.
6. The Shoes Matter More Than You Think
You will be walking. And posing. And standing around after church while your aunt insists on taking 300 photos. So pick your shoes wisely. Wedges are making a comeback and feel just right for an Easter picnic. Block heels in nude or pastel shades are a safe bet. Want to keep it low-key but still stylish? Try ballet flats with an oversized bow or pastel mules with a square toe.
7. Go Soft on the Makeup, Big on the Hair
Easter is all about freshness. A glowy base, brushed-up brows, a pink lip that looks like your own but better. Save the smoky eye for later—this is a job for blush and a little highlighter. But your hair? That can do the most. A slick ponytail with pearls, big soft curls, or even a dramatic braid down your back—it’s your crown, after all.
