Styles

Just because you are a mom does not mean you have to stop caring for what you wear. When you are a mom you do need more functional clothes though. Here are some of my favorite fashion finds for when you want to look cute and pulled together even when you are running after a toddler or carpooling a pre-teen.

Leggings

The staple of mom style is the legging. I think sometimes they get a bad rap but really they are amazing for chasing kids while looking cute. One of my favorite brands is Zella, Nordstrom’s brand. They have a high waist (my #1 requirement) and thick so my underwear will not show through. They are sometimes a little too thick in the summer but are definitely worth the money to splurge on. Z by Zella is the Nordstrom Rack version and I think they are just as good. The styles and colors are more limited but they are significantly less expensive while having the same features.

My other favorite are Mono B leggings. A little more obscure but these leggings pass my first two tests: they have a high waist and are thick enough not to show too much. They also feature four way stretch and some amazing wicking technology. The patterns range from shimmery with exclusive sparkle thread to really cool moto ribbed black leggings.
