Even the most stylish mom outfits still need to be, well, mom-friendly. In other words, they can’t wrinkle easily, they can’t require dry cleaning, and you need to be able to sprint, squat, and go down a slide in them. They should also probably have pockets, so you can hold snacks, rocks, and the trash from the snacks.
It’s no wonder that a lot of times, once you become a mom, leggings and a hoodie become the default uniform. BUT! There are ways to dress for motherhood that are also cute.
I’ve rounded up a whole bunch of them, below. To make it easy to browse, I’ve arranged these ideas into mom outfits with leggings and joggers (i.e. 90 percent of your outfits), outfits with jeans, (5 perfect) and date night/girls night outfits (another 5 percent).

The quilted jacket is a major fashion trend of the moment. We love it as part of a stylish mom outfit because it’s as casual and easy-to-wear as it is fashion-forward.
18. A nap dress and Birkenstocks

No need to toss the skinny jeans. They still look cute with oversized tops, like the striped sweater above. Pair with white sneakers for Audrey Hepburn vibes.

A puffer vest can also add a stylish touch to your favorite pair of jeans and a long-sleeved t-shirt. The Ugg slippers make this the perfect school drop-off outfit.
