6 Things every mom must have in her closet

Many things change once you become a mom – your figure and wardrobe included. If you always seem to find yourself staring at your overflowing closet thinking you have nothing to wear, then you may just not have the right staples for your new lifestyle.

Here are 6 pieces you'll want to invest in; plus tips on how to wear them.
A Chambray Top

A Chambray Top

This shirt comes in handy more often than you think. As jeans go with everything, so do chambray button-downs. Pair it with tailored shorts, skinny jeans, or a skirt of any shape and color – plain or printed.

This is great for those who are breastfeeding too. What nursing mom doesn't love zipped tops and button-downs?

Tailored Separates

Tailored Separates

The two occasions you’ll appreciate these the most are kiddie parties and when you’re traveling. Simply because you’ll want to look good even when you’re chasing kids or lugging things around.

Haven’t you ever looked back at a travel photo and wished you’d put on something stylish and not just sensible?

Work Jeans

Work Jeans

From running errands to running after the kids, work jeans certainly fit the bill. They let you do what you have to do without having to worry about stains or ripping a seam.

Since they’re all about function, add style and flexibility by getting cropped work jeans. You can pair them with a tank top and sneakers for work, then add a statement jacket and switch to heels for play.

A Crisp, White Button-down

A Crisp, White Button-down

You can never go wrong with the understated elegance of a crisp, white button-down – just ask Carolina Herrera.

This go-to top is comfort and confidence in one; plus it’s the perfect canvas for that new bag you just got. Play your cards right and you can even wear it to a formal event. Pair with a long skirt, an obi belt, and pearls or diamonds of course.

The Maxi Dress

The Maxi Dress

It’s the silhouette that lets the world know you’re a mom who hasn’t lost her sense of style.

The length adds instant elegance, the prints are fun, and the hem of the skirt billowing around your ankles is just the amount of dramatic flair you need while sashaying briskly to wherever you’re headed (because face it, mom, you’re ALWAYS in a hurry).

The One Dress That’s Just for You

The One Dress That’s Just for You

It’s a mini-dress, it’s white, it may even be expensive and dry-clean only – it’s totally impractical.

But moms get that privilege once in a while: having something that reminds them of their youth; and that beneath the layers of harassed mom, is a woman who likes to feel unapologetically gorgeous when she gets the chance to.
