Stylish and Comfortable Essentials for Busy Moms —
First things first, let’s take a look at stylish and comfortable pieces every mom needs in her wardrobe. You’ll want basic tees in rotation as your top, and you don’t have to stick to just plain white tees or oversized shirts. You can mix in pretty blouses and graphic tees to showcase your unique personality. Add on knit sweaters and hoodies to layer up through the seasons. For bottoms, you can rotate between denim, leggings, and joggers.
Sweatshirt and Biking Shorts —
Next, let’s look at some outfits you can wear throughout your week. Biking shorts or biker shorts are all the rage right now. Even if those tight-fitting shorts aren’t your thing unless you’re at spin class, it’s easy and chic to pair an oversized sweatshirt over stylish shorts.
Denim Jacket and Jeans —
The denim jacket and jeans combo is a neutral-inspired outfit that’s polished yet practical for all kinds of activities with your little one. To style this outfit, wear a denim jacket with a white button-down, black jeans, and mules.
Cardigan and Jeans —
There are plenty of ways to style a cardigan. You can wear the cardigan as a top with your jeans, or you can layer it up with your cardigan. To complete the look, you can wear any kind of trendy tops underneath your cardigan for extra flourish.
Midi Dress and Flats —
For a dressier warm weather outfit that’s still as practical as it is cute, wear a midi dress and flats. You can swap the flats for sneakers if you anticipate your day will have more running around. Midi dresses in white are the perfect spring and summer look. A Muslin Dress is a fantastic choice, offering both style and ease, ideal for keeping cool during warmer months.
Maxi Dress and Chunky Heels —
Pair a floral maxi dress and chunky heels if you want a dressy look that you’ll be able to rock for hours. Chunky heels offer more support than stilettos. The chunky heels could be block heels with a strap, or you can try espadrilles or wedges for a fun spring twist.
Button-Up Shirt and Skirt —
The button-up shirt and skirt is the perfect outfit if you’re going out on a Mom date with another mom or are looking for an outfit that can take you from your morning work meeting to your afternoon kids’ pick-up at school. According to Judith Jones, a Who What Wear Fashion Editor and mom of two, if a button-down and pair of pants combo is more your thing, try a classic white cotton shirt with linen blend pants.
