If you’re a mum (or anyone looking after a little one) during the school holidays, you’re likely to be rushing around between out-of-term activities. Which means you need comfy-but-stylish outfits that are easy to wear on the go and fit with your schedule. Luckily, we’ve got outfits for busy mums, sisters, grans and care-givers sorted. Here are some of our favourite cool mum outfits, from cute tracksuits and versatile jumpsuits to layer-friendly blazers.
For casual days at home or the park:
- A pair of comfy jeans, top and cardi: This is a classic combination that you can never go wrong with. Dress it up with a statement necklace or scarf, or keep it casual with sneakers and a baseball cap.
- Leggings and an oversized top: This is another comfortable and versatile option. Choose leggings in a solid colour, and pair them with an oversized top in a fun pattern or print. Add some sandals or flats for a relaxed look.
- A flowy maxi dress: This is a great option for hot summer days. Choose a dress in a comfortable fabric like cotton or linen, and accessorise with sandals and a straw hat.
- A cute tracksuit: Playsuits are always a fun and laid back option. Choose one in a bright colour and pair it with sneakers and a trench.
For days out and about:
- Leather trousers and a nice top: This is a stylish option for a day out shopping or lunch with friends. Style up with ankle boots or chunky brogues.
- A sundress: This is a perfect choice for a day at the beach or a park picnic during the summer holidays. Choose a sundress in a light and airy fabric, and accessorise with sandals and a sunhat.
- A pair of cropped pants and a blouse: This is a chic and put-together option for a day at the museum or a concert. Choose cropped pants in a neutral colour, and pair them with a blouse in a fun pattern or print. Add some heels or flats to complete the look.
- A jumpsuit: Jumpsuits are an all-in-one outfit that is both stylish and comfortable. Choose a jumpsuit in a light and airy fabric, and accessorise with sandals or flats.
More tips for choosing mum outfits during school holidays:
- Consider the weather: If it’s going to be hot, choose light and airy fabrics. If it’s going to be cool, layer up with sweaters and jackets.
- Think about your activities: If you’re going to be doing a lot of walking, choose comfortable shoes. If you’re going to be spending time outdoors, choose clothes that protect you from the sun.
- Don’t be afraid to experiment: Have fun with different colours, patterns, and styles.
- Most importantly, wear what makes you feel good!
