Everyone knows that being a
mother takes so much from you, if not all of you. Gone are the days when we can
only think of our own needs and wants because now we have little ones to
consider before ourselves. But just because we have new priorities and
responsibilities now, it doesn't mean that we need to stop enjoying fashion and
taking care of ourselves.
And the best part? We don't need
every item of clothing in the world to build a classic, elegant, and
long-lasting wardrobe. We only need some key pieces and basics that will stay
with us for a long time. And in a time like 2021, when we're contending with a
pandemic and a climate emergency, it's not like we need to
invest in every trendy piece of clothing-we only need to invest in stylish and
durable ones.
It's out with excess and in with basics that stand the test of time. Here are some clothing pieces every mom needs in her closet this 2021.
A high-quality pair of jeans
One of the items of clothing that
will never go out of style is a pair of flattering and perfectly fitting jeans,
so do away with the notion that they're only for your teenage kids. Denim jeans for ladies are the perfect look
for any casual occasion-taking your tots to school or play dates, casual date
night with your partner, or brunch with the ladies-no matter what simple
occasion, a reliable pair of jeans will never fail you, as long as you pair
them with the right top, bag, accessories, and shoes.
Perfect-fitting white
button-down shirt
There's something about a clean,
white shirt that automatically brightens up anyone's look, especially when
you're on Zoom calls. Invest in a high-quality and durable white button-down
top that fits you perfectly, and it can be a good base for whatever outfit you
choose. They can go with vests, skirts, pants, blazers-any outfit you can think
of. It's incredibly versatile and can keep you looking fresh and put together
even on busy days.
Tailored blazer
A perfectly tailored blazer is an
easy way to spruce up any outfit. If you're working from home but suddenly need
to visit your kid's school for a parent-teacher conference, a tailored blazer
is an easy item to throw on to instantly give your base outfit a more polished
boost. These tailored blazers look good with simple white shirts and denim
jeans, and even 90s-inspired slip dresses.
Stylish yet comfortable ballet
flats
Every mom needs a stylish yet
comfortable pair of ballet flats or Mary Janes that you can immediately put on
for sudden trips to the supermarket or picking up the kids from school. No one
has time for platform heels or strappy sandals-you need shoes that you can
instantly put on whenever you have to run somewhere, and moms know how often
that can happen. Save your more complicated shoes for date nights and formal
events.
A killer pair of heels
Speaking of more formal events,
your wardrobe will also benefit from a killer pair of stilettos that are always
ready to be worn for date nights with your spouse or formal occasions for work.
If you can tolerate it, go for ones that may not be the most comfortable, but
there are also shoes in the market that can provide you with the same sexy look
without torturing your toes.
Timeless jewelry
If you have family heirlooms from
your mom, like an elegant ring or a gold locket, those are enough to keep in
your closet-you don't need to have all the newest pieces in the market to build
a complete jewelry collection. The most wonderful part is that you can pass on
these timeless pieces with your daughters, too.
Everyday bags
As a mom, you're always going to
have to be ready for everything, which is why multifunctional everyday bags are
a must. Here are some examples of basic bags you can invest in:
- Market bag
- Cross-body bag for date nights and your essentials
- Statement bag for the summer or vacations
- Satchel with an organizational function
Motherhood does not have to rob
you of your fun with fashion, but you can choose pieces that are both stylish
and long-lasting. Function and purpose shouldn't come at the expense of
elegance, so don't hesitate to choose pieces that you can pair and use in many
ways. Have fun with it, and let your personality shine through your outfits!
