Mom Fashion Styles Tips & Inspiration

Find the Perfect Mom Fashion to Fit Your Personal Style
Becoming a mom is a life-changing milestone that affects everything from your sleep schedule to your wardrobe. But just because your fashion choices are now driven more by practicality and comfort than by the latest looks on the runway doesn’t mean you can’t dress with style anddare we say it?—even a bit of flair.
Mom fashion has come a long way in recent years, and ease doesn’t necessarily mean frump anymore. As leisure and athletic wear have become more popular, comfy casual pieces now come in chic cuts and colors.  Even office-ready separates are made with fabrics that are simple to wear and care for. 
There’s no right answer to the question of how to dress like a mom: there are endless mommy styles out there, each one reflecting specific needs and lifestyles. Whether you’re a new stay-at-home nursing mom or have older kids and are balancing home and career, here are some tips and suggestions for creating a mom look that both streamlines your morning schedule and makes you feel your best.
Fashion and Motherhood  
Fashion and motherhood may seem as incompatible as oil and water, but not all fashionable looks are uncomfortable and impracticable. The trick is finding pieces that are stylish and can stand up to the rigors of your daily schedule. 
Now that you’re a mom, time is of the essence, and you need a wardrobe favoring ease of wear and care.  You don’t want to waste precious time coordinating hard-to-match separates or dropping silk blouses at the dry cleaner. If you have active little ones, you’ll also need separates that move with you so you can get down on the floor to play or hoist a toddler on your hip without tearing open seams or popping buttons. Motherhood also can bring with it a new body shape post-pregnancy, and you want to find a mom clothes style and cut that flatters your silhouette and makes you feel confident and comfortable both at home and at work. 
Instead of considering your role as a mom a limiting factor in your fashion choices, use it as an inspiration to rework your wardrobe to fit your new daily routine. If you’re not sure where to begin, we’re here with some style help for moms from basic separates that form the foundation of your look to tips on how to curate an overall mom style that makes you look fabulous every day.
Mom Fashion Staples
To kick off “Operation Mom Style 2021”, begin with a few mom closet must-haves that will form the foundation of your wardrobe. Here are five staples to get you started:
  • Updated jeans - There’s nothing that will make you feel frumpier faster than jeans that are out of style. Take a look at what denim cuts are in right now and grab a pair (or two). The great thing about jeans is you can wear them with a printed t-shirt and sneakers for a cute casual look or throw on low-heeled booties and a blazer for one of the most effortless classy mom outfits out there.
  • T-shirts in fun prints - Whether worn solo with jeans or layered under a jacket or blazer, a printed t-shirt adds flair and personality to your wardrobe fundamentals. Opt for nautical stripes, floral designs, or animal-inspired prints in bright, eye-catching colors.
  • Loose-cut blazers - Long and loose, oversized blazers can be layered to dress down or up. Wear these over leggings and a printed t-shirt for a casual coffee or with skinny pants and a button-down blouse for work. Either way, the length, and flow flatter any figure.
  • Fashionable sneakers - With a pair of stylish sneakers, you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for fashion or fashion for comfort. 
  • Chic booties - Opt for a low heel or go with a flat option—either way, ankle-high boots can dress up jeans and a blazer for work or a family dinner out.
  • Mom-Approved Swimwear
    No stock of wardrobe basics is complete without great swimwear pieces that flatter your figure and stay firmly in place no matter how much you frolic in the water with your kids. Our Hermoza swimwear comes in a wide variety of styles and cuts to complement your personal style and body shape. Here are some mom favorites:
    • Genevieve One Piece - With a flattering halter neckline and figure-defining side-tie sash, this sophisticated one-piece offers full coverage for an active day at the beach with style.
    • Marilyn One Piece - If you want your mom fashion to be inspired by vintage elegance, this one piece will channel your inner diva. 
    • Natalie One Piece - Keep it pretty with this feminine look featuring ruffles along the shoulder straps and the deep V-cut back.
    • Vanessa One Piece - A chic off-the-shoulder ruffled neckline and statement print makes this suit ideal if you like bold, flirty looks.
    • Tiffany Two Piece - Becoming a mom doesn’t mean a life of one-piece swimsuits! Our pretty tankini offers the freedom of a bikini with the flattering coverage of a one piece.
    Tips To Redefine Your Style
    It may take a little time to settle on a mom fashion that feels right and fits with your personal style, but pivoting your wardrobe towards functional pieces that are still stylish can be fun. Here are a few tips to redefine your style that will make the journey more a pleasure than a chore:
  • Purge - Go through your wardrobe with a ruthless eye to donate anything that no longer fits your needs as a mom, including high-maintenance fabrics, uncomfortable cuts, and pieces you haven’t worn in years.
  • Make a Mom Outfits 2021 Pinterest board - Start gathering ideas for outfits or separates that you want to integrate into your new mom wardrobe so you can have them on hand when it’s time to start shopping.
  • Start with the fundamentals - Like a house, your wardrobe needs to start from the foundation and build up. Stock up on essential, high-quality basics that can be dressed up or down with other pieces.
  • Try a subscription box - Don’t have time to go out shopping? Sign up for a subscription box service where you get a shipment of separates and can decide which to keep and which to send back.

  • At Hermoza, we know that moms want to show off their sense of style even while stocking their wardrobes with functional, comfortable pieces. Our vintage swimsuits and resort wear combine gorgeous designs with high-quality fabrics and flattering cuts that offer full coverage and all-day staying power at the beach or pool.
