Read on to find out more about fashionable spring wear that not only looks good, but offers you the flexibility and ease and is so necessary when you’re a parent. 

• Invest In A Statement Piece 

You’ll be amazed at the difference that investing in just one or two statement pieces can make to any outfit, no matter how simple or fancy you’re feeling for the day. Statement pieces such as a Louis Vuitton bag or a chic looking blazer are exceptional ways to transform your entire look. Just a simple white t-shirt, paired with a killer pair of comfortable jeans, sunglasses and your favourite statement piece is the perfect way to achieve a casual yet chic look that is guaranteed to have heads turning. Some other ideas for statement pieces include statement accessories such as scarves, hats or even a pair of adorable slip on sneakers that offer you the comfort and style that any yummy mummy deserves! 

• Stock Up On Spring Staples

Before you can start getting creative with your groovy Spring outfits, you’ll have to make sure that you stock up on the staples. Some of these staples include pieces such as sundresses, cardigans, basic t-shirts, floral prints and of course, a great pair of comfortable jeans. Gone are the days of unsightly mom jeans – you can now get a wide variety of incredibly stylish mom jeans that fit in with today’s fashion trends. Once you’ve filled your Spring wardrobe with these staples, it will be easy to start putting together looks that incorporate seasonal elements.

• Mix Those Prints Up

Spring is the season where the flowers bloom in abundance which makes it no surprise that so much of Spring fashion comes in floral prints and designs. However, just because flowers are in season doesn’t mean that you have to stick to one style. One of the best fashion tips for Spring include mixing your florals with other bold patterns such as polka dots, stripes and animal prints. The key to mixing prints is to ensure that your prints stay within the same color family and differentiate in size. Adding in a simple texture like a denim short or skirt will pull your look together and tone it down as needed.

• Utilise Layering

Spring is one of those seasons that really benefits from layering. Since the weather is often cool and not as warm as it would get in Summer, you will be able to use layering to your advantage to create stylish outfits that also serve a purpose. Some staples in the layering game include cardigans, t shirts under maxi dresses, bodysuits, camisoles and midi skirts. If you’re a working mom who spends a fair amount of time in an office, it’s also nice to have a stylish blazer that you can easily layer over a casual sleeveless top. Spring is the season for mixing and matching, and layering pieces will help you do just that! 

• Stick To A Light Color Palette

Spring, the season of growth, is also a time to embrace light and bright colors in your wardrobe. Chuck those dark and thick fabrics away for Winter, and remember to keep all your outfits looking light, bright and breathable. Vibrant colors such as yellows, pinks, greens and even blues are the perfect way to celebrate the season. If you really can’t resist a dark outfit, don’t forget to add a pop of color such as a bold and bright handbag, purse or a killer pair of wedges that will help balance out your overall look. 

• Loungewear Is Where It’s At

Let’s be honest, parenting is a tiring full time job, and every once in a while it’s important to treat yourself to a relaxing and lazy day at home. Just because you’re indoors doesn’t mean that you have to resort to your sweatpants and oversized hoodie, though. If you’re looking for comfortable home clothes, then loungewear is where it’s at. We’re totally in love with loungewear options in 2020 — from short sets to trendy leggings and gorgeous jumpsuits. With loungewear, you know that not only will you look amazing, but you’ll feel it too. It’s where comfort meets style, and we can’t think of a better place to be.
