It’s so easy to hide that extra baby weight under heavy sweaters all winter long, but hot weather means that it’s time to show off a little skin. It means that it is time to embrace our own bodies. This year, summer may look a little different, but it is still coming. Warm weather, sunshine, and longer daylight hours are all things to be excited about—and they all keep the kids playing longer outside, right?!
The new summer fashion trends are just effortless and flowy, but are they comfortable enough to chase the kids around in? The thing is, when you’re a mom you have a huge shift in priorities in both your lifestyle and your clothing. For one, you don’t have time to just shop all afternoon like you once did. Second, it is true that you can easily lose a sense of your personal style due to the changes in your body and lifestyle. Sometimes it is hard to find the right style that fits the body of a new mom. But there’s no point in sitting around in worn-out leggings, waiting for the moment your body springs back to its pre-baby self. Absolutely, take the time to keep yourself healthy and in shape; but remember that your body may be very different now that you’re a mom, and you should dress to suit your new shape. This doesn’t mean that you should only wear mom appropriate clothes, but you should start accepting and loving your new figure. Only then can you start to feel more like yourself.
Rocking your summer style like you rock motherhood
Every mom has those mornings when she feels more exhausted than the night before, and not a single outfit you have put together reflects the stylish parent you truly are. Yes, it is easier to slip in your most comfortable clothes, but it is time to get rid of that overstretched maternity wear. Do a proper clear out of your underwear. Throw out everything you haven’t worn for years that no longer suits your lifestyle, anything that no longer fits.
Owning your style is based on having a smaller collection of clothes that you really love, and know how to style. Your summer style should combine the clothes that you find enjoyable and comfortable, the ones that make you feel good in your own skin. If in doubt, keep it simple with some classics:
T-shirts
We’ve all got one of those old reliable, everyone’s I-have-nothing-to-wear go-to, ever-present plain white T-shirts. Maybe you originally purchased yours in a five-pack on sale, but now its time for you to style it up. Using a white t-shirt as your starting point is ideal since it’s a piece that’s pretty accessible to almost everyone. Everything you need is a little creativity, some good accessories, and a lot of inspiration. And your stylish summer outfit is ready.
Boyfriend jeans
When it comes to being comfortable, boyfriend jeans are all you need. Loose, cuffed, and infused with the perfect touch of masculinity—the look works whether you want to keep things ultra-laidback or all dressed up.
When combining them, indeed, simplicity is key. A basic black T-shirt suits knee-ripped washed blue boyfriend jeans like a dream. You just need to add black leather shoes and clear rounded sunglasses. If you do want to personalize this combination, then you will need to use bright accessories, like a cool statement bag, colorful shoes and some jewelry in gold or silver.
Palazzo pants
Everywhere you look, palazzo pants are making a comeback. You see them on the street, at a party, on the beach, in the office and even at weddings. Hugely popular in the 60s and 70s, it’s easy to see why everyone loves them now. They’re stylish, comfortable, and above all versatile. So if you’re wondering, yes they are the perfect choice for you. Just because there are thousands of amazing ideas to style these funky, different, and cool bottoms with your everyday essentials. Combine them with oversized tops, long loose hair, and some minimalist jewelry.
Shirt Dresses
Looking for something fresh and trendy to wear this season? Go for a shirt dress. This is a versatile piece that ideally suits your everyday. It is a must-have special ensemble for those moms who have no time for styling and preparing themselves. There are so many interesting designs to try out this year, starting from oversized and smartly tailored styles, retro-looking to country-style inspired, the 1970s, minis, etc. You can just pick what best matches your personality.
Minimalist Jewelry
When it comes to wearing jewelry in the summer, less is more. Minimal necklaces, dainty earrings, or unique rings that you can wear with jeans and a t-shirt, a bathing suit, or to a family backyard barbecue — these pieces go with everything and every vibe.
This summer it’s a good time to be alive if you’re an accessories lover. Designers already have cool pieces that are sure to fit your wardrobe perfectly.
So if you take a liking to architecturally and historically inclined small trinkets that provide an elevated versatility that not only polish off an outfit but also stand the test of time you have one excellent example here, the crown of thorn ring. Its style is timeless, making you want to wear this ring forever.
Statement bag
Accessories are the pillars of the fashion world. Indeed, nothing quite finishes an outfit off like a statement bag. It can definitely change the look of what you’re wearing. Not only is it practical to keep your belongings in while you run after the kids, but it’s a seriously stylish addition to what you’re wearing.
Mules
It feels like we have a comeback of old trends and flat mules are among them. This nostalgic footwear design is a must-have. They look really cute, stylish but casual too.
All you need is solid or colored mules, fit jeans, a basic shirt, and an elongated or exaggerated blazer. Flat mules in solid and dark colors are extremely flexible. You can wear them with masculine outfits, as well as with ladylike ensembles. Personally, we love to see moms who combine this footwear with cool boyfriend jeans.
White snickers
Sneakers are the ultimate mom must-have, but because you probably wear them more than ever these days, why not make sure they’re the best sneakers you can find. There are so many options out there, but you definitely can’t go wrong with the ultimate white snickers.
Conclusion
Summer days are all about relaxation and new experience. Put on your favorite T-shirt and stylish pants. Get together with your family and close ones and soak everything this season has to offer. Make some memories. Just bear in mind that feeling good in your own skin is the essence of a good lifestyle.
