Easter Dresses: What to Wear on Easter Sunday, From Church to Brunch

 

Sandhya Garg · The Spring Edit

Easter Sunday

Church · Family Lunch · Brunch · Garden · March 28, 2027

Quick Answer

Easter 2027 is Sunday, March 28. That's early, so expect cool mornings. For church, wear knee-length or longer with sleeves or a jacket. For lunch, choose a midi you can sit in. Pastels are traditional but not required: a spring print that includes a pastel looks fresher and suits more people. Bring a light jacket, and avoid white if there's an egg hunt.

Easter is the first dressed-up day of spring. For a lot of families it's church in the morning, a long lunch in the afternoon, and an egg hunt somewhere in between. One outfit has to do all three.

This guide covers each part of the day, the pastel question, and twelve spring pieces from the new collection.

What to Wear, by Easter Plan

Your Easter What to wear From this edit
Church service Knee-length or longer, sleeves or a jacket. A print or a spring colour. Queen, Marie + Kimono
Family lunch at home A midi you can sit in for hours and help in the kitchen. Sophie, Duchess
Easter brunch out A shirt dress or wrap midi, flats or block heels. Versailles, Queen
Garden party A maxi or midi in a spring print, a jacket for the morning. Antonia, Carolina
Egg hunt with kids An easy skirt, flat shoes, no white. Louis, Versailles

Essence describes Easter dressing as light and joyful, a day for sundresses, soft florals, lace and colours like cream, blush and butter yellow. Easter 2027 falls on March 28, so in most places the morning will still be cool. Pack a jacket.

Easter is early in 2027. Wear the spring dress, and bring the jacket.

Pastels, Without the Costume

Head-to-toe lilac is a lot for most people. A print that includes a pastel gives you the Easter feeling with more depth, and it suits more skin tones. If you love yellow, see Five Ways to Wear Butter Yellow. For pink, see Pink After 30.

Spring weather swings from cold to warm in one day, which I covered in Spring Dressing for Two Temperatures in One Day. For florals specifically, see Floral Dresses: How to Tell a Good One.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is Easter 2027?

Easter Sunday is March 28, 2027, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac. That's early, so plan for cool mornings in most of the country.

What should I wear to Easter church service?

A knee-length or longer dress with sleeves or a jacket. Most churches don't have a formal dress code, but Easter is the day many people dress up. A printed midi with a light jacket is right almost everywhere.

Do you have to wear pastels on Easter?

No. Pastels are traditional, but any spring colour works: blush, butter yellow, green, cobalt. A print that includes a pastel gives you the Easter feeling without head-to-toe lilac.

What do you wear to an Easter egg hunt?

Something you can kneel and run in: a midi with an easy skirt and flat shoes. Avoid white if there will be grass, dye or chocolate nearby.
