Cool Mom Approved Wardrobe Essentials That Work For Any Occasion

There is no wardrobe essential more…well, essential, than a basic white sneaker. White sneakers are the perfect accompaniment to a simple jeans and tshirt look. However, these days, more and more people are pairing sneakers with a more formal look.

We love the way a chunky sneaker looks with a floral dress, or the way it makes a blazer look like casually elegant. 

There are tons of high quality white sneakers on the market, but we personally think you can’t go wrong with a classic style from Nike, like the one we’ve linked above.

The concept of the LBD has stood the test of time. And with good reason! A little black dress can be dressed up or down, and will never go out of style.

For parents, this staple is particularly useful. The dark color means that it is resistant to stains and other visible wear and tear. 

We like this dress because it has a great skirt length. Pair it with sandals for a family trip to the farmer’s market or park, but add heels and jewelry to make it a perfect summer date night dress.

Having a collection of t-shirts in various colors is an absolute must-have for any wardrobe. These can be paired with jeans, trousers, or skirts for a variety of looks. 

We like these tees made by Everlane. The boxy shape is more relaxed, for easier movement, and the flattering crop can show off high waisted pants or a statement belt. 

All parents know that when it comes to getting dressed in the morning, restrictive clothes are NOT the vibe.

Everyone needs a pair of go-to denim jeans. This pair by sustainable brand Outerknown, offers the perfect relaxed boyfriend fit, for maximum comfort. They give off the perfect, casual vibe, but could easily work for a girls night out! Pair with a silk camisole and simple gold jewelry for a timeless look you can wear for years to come. 

Blazers aren’t just for the office anymore. The new, oversized fits prove that tailored clothing can work on the weekends, too. 

We love the academia aesthetic that this tweed Reformation blazer gives off. We would wear this with a white tee, jeans, and a nice pair of loafers. However, it would look just as cute over a body-con mini dress, or wide legged trousers and a bustier top.

You might not be wearing heels to school drop off (although, more power to you if you do!), but a simple, strappy black heel is an essential that no mama can do without. We love that these ones that have more of a lower heel, making it easier to move around in! 

When it comes to a Mom Wardrobe, we all need things that are simple and beautiful. That’s why we chose to feature these gorgeous layering necklaces from GLDN. As a company owned by a single mom, they believe in making accessible jewelry. They offer their pieces in a variety of lengths and prices, so that there is something for everyone.

With the holidays in full swing, you’ll want to add a staple midi dress to your wardrobe. The key is the midi skirt length, which makes it versatile for a variety of events. This sweet dress with a beautifully detailed neckline is comfy enough for everyday wear, but versatile enough to wear to a wedding or brunch date.
