Easter feels like the unofficial do-over of the year, a little reset for anyone who has already given up on their New Year's resolutions (guilty!). All those lofty plans from January? Let's call it a work in progress.
But at least we have tulips and an extra day off whispering, "Eat that extra pastry. Sit outside. Smile like you have your life together because at least the sun's come out"
The perfect kind of day for linen clothing. Breathable enough for the afternoon sun. Polished enough your in-laws will approve.
And just in case you like to keep your hands and head busy. So you don't spend brunch overthinking and trying to solve all the world's problems. (Who listens to us anyway.)
We've shared simple, step-by-step instructions for making naturally coloured Easter eggs, perfect for adding a little extra magic to the long weekend.
The Dress Edit for Easter Brunch
If Easter brunch calls for one thing, it's a dress that does the heavy lifting. Not the kind you have to steam for forty minutes the night before, but the kind you pull on, add a pair of earrings, and suddenly look like you planned this weeks in advance.
Whether you're drawn to a flowing maxi, a structured midi, or a sleeved silhouette for cooler mornings, our edit of linen dresses has you covered.
Halvar Maxi Dress in French Blue Stripe
The Halvar Maxi Dress in French Blue Stripe is quietly clever. The wrap silhouette is forgiving in all the right places, the flowing maxi length moves beautifully as you walk. It sits somewhere between "I've made an effort" and "I could absolutely nap in this on the drive home."
The French blue stripe adds a cheerful spring vibe without going full pastel-pink-and-floral. Bonus: it photographs beautifully in natural light.
How to style it:
- Backless loafers and a statement pendant necklace. Let the stripes do the talking.
- Strappy heeled sandals with a woven straw bag and gold hoops for an outdoor garden Easter brunch.
- White pointed-toe flats with a minimalist crossbody for a modern take on stripes.
Mêlée Contrast Midi Dress in Black
Black at Easter? Absolutely. This is a dress that works far beyond one weekend, and you'll be reaching for it all season long.
The Mêlée Contrast Midi Dress earns its place here because it's far from a simple black dress. The contrast detailing creates a visually balanced, elegant silhouette that flatters the body beautifully.
The midi length with a quality linen weight means it will actually keep you warm on a cool April morning. It's chic and polished but still comfortable, so you're not counting the minutes until you can swap it for your sweats.
How to style it:
- Pointed-toe ankle boots with a fine gold necklace layered over the contrast neckline for cool-weather Easter dressing.
- Barely-there heeled sandals with a tan or dark chocolate suede bag. It's all about texture here, and it softens the black beautifully for spring.
- Sheer black tights with low block heels and a brightly coloured scarf tied in your hair, or a polished headband with a bow.
- Feeling bold? Go for a juicy red heel or emerald green bag to keep things playful.
Kimonos Dress in Oatmeal
Soft, sleeved, and the colour of warm morning light, the Kimonos Dress in Oatmeal is the option for anyone who wants to feel like spring without being underdressed.
The sleeves make it genuinely practical for that in-between April weather, the floaty silhouette is comfortable all day, and the warm oatmeal neutral sits beautifully against skin tones across the board. It's the dress you put on and immediately stop thinking about, which is really the highest compliment.
How to style it:
- Strappy tan or gold sandals with stacked thin gold bangles. Keep accessories delicate so the dress stays the hero.
- Antique gold drop earrings and a soft woven clutch for a garden brunch setting.
The Separates Edit
Dresses are not a personality requirement at Easter. Some of us are trouser people, and proudly so. A well-chosen pair of linen pants or culottes are equally as stylish.
How To Style Linen Trousers
If you prefer to glide softly into the spring months, our collection of white linen pants is definitely worth exploring. Below are ideas for how to make them easter-ready.
- A pastel-toned blouse in soft pink, lavender, or mint tucked in loosely.
- A white broderie anglaise or lace-detail top for a feminine, spring-appropriate feel.
- A cardigan layered over a buttoned shirt so the collar peeks through. Choose one in a statement print or with unique buttons for a hint of personality that feels fresh and modern. Vogue approved, for what it's worth.
- Finish with woven leather sandals or espadrilles + a rattan bag + delicate gold jewellery.
Beja Shirt Jacket White + Zakai Wrap Pants in Navy
The Beja Shirt Jacket in White is structured enough to anchor almost any look. Wear it open over a blouse or closed as a top in its own right. The jacket is the outerwear, which means you're dressed for whatever the day brings, from the brunch table to the backyard and beyond.
Combine the jacket with the Zakai Wrap Pants in Navy and you have an outfit that moves with you. The proportions are spot on, the linen feels amazing, and somehow you feel just a little more unstoppable. Why not invite both sides of the family for brunch?
Easter-ready pairings:
- A floral print or blue-and-white stripe blouse underneath the Beja. Worn open, it frames the print beautifully.
- A silk-look camisole in blush or soft white tucked into the Hanne for a more streamlined look underneath the jacket.
- White pointed-toe flats or kitten heels + a structured mini bag + pearl or gold drop earrings.
A Quick Note on Colour
In case you're building outfits from scratch or adding new pieces to what you already own, here's how the colours in this edit play with the rest of your wardrobe:
- Natural / Oatmeal: pairs beautifully with soft white, warm terracotta, sage green, or dusty pink.
- Mocha-Taupe: works with ivory, cream, camel, and soft rust; earthy tones that feel very spring Mediterranean.
- French Blue Stripe: keep accessories and pairings in white or natural tones so the stripe stays the hero.
- White: pairs with almost anything; the Mocha-Taupe Hanne being the proof.
- Black: soften it with gold accessories, or go bold with a pop of colour like a juicy red heel or an emerald green bag.
A reassuring word on linen's natural texture: a little relaxed character is entirely part of its charm, especially at a long, easy spring gathering.

How to Make Naturally Coloured Easter Eggs
Across Eastern and Northern Europe, from Slavic countries to Scandinavia to the Mediterranean, the tradition of dyeing eggs with onion skins and garden botanicals has been practised for centuries, passed down as a quiet Easter ritual.
If you love making things with your hands and building little traditions of your own, the kind that become the thing your family asks for every year, this one is worth trying.
You'll need:
- Fresh raw eggs, at room temperature (cold eggs can crack in hot water)
- Brown or yellow onion skins per pot; the more the better
- White vinegar (1 tablespoon per cup of water)
- Water
- A large saucepan
- A slotted spoon
- Paper towel for drying
- A small amount of olive oil for finishing
- Small leaves or flowers from the garden, old sheer tights cut into sections, and rubber bands or string
For extra colour richness: soak the onion skins in the water for at least a few hours before you start cooking, or even overnight. The longer they soak, the deeper and richer the dye bath.
For the patterned eggs:
This is where it gets really special. A leaf or flower pressed against the shell acts as a stencil, leaving a delicate pale silhouette against the warm amber background once the egg is cooked and unwrapped.
- Find small, flat leaves or flowers from your garden. Parsley, ferns, herb sprigs, and delicate wildflowers all work beautifully. The more intricate the shape, the more striking the result.
- Lightly coat each egg with a little egg white to help the leaf adhere, then press your chosen leaf or flower firmly against the shell.
- Cut an old pair of sheer tights into sections. Slip the egg inside with the leaf held firmly against it, then twist and tie both ends tightly with a rubber band or string. The tight should go sheer over the leaf — that's how you know it's snug enough to work as a stencil during cooking.
- Lower the wrapped eggs gently into your simmering onion skin dye bath and cook on low for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove, allow to cool, then snip off the tight and peel away the leaf to reveal the pattern underneath.
- Finish with a rub of olive oil for shine.
A note on patience: natural dyes produce soft, earthy tones rather than bright artificial colour, and that's entirely the point. Every egg turns out slightly different, which is part of the charm.
Think warm amber, burnished gold, deep terracotta. They look beautiful arranged in a bowl at the centre of the Easter table. And if any of the dyeing gets enthusiastic, our guide on how to wash linen has everything you need.
The Short Version
Easter dressing doesn't need to be complicated. Reach for something you'll wear long after the long weekend, in a fabric that works as hard as you do, and spend the rest of your energy on the things that actually matter: the table, the people, and if you're feeling adventurous, the eggs.
