5 Wardrobe Savers Every New Mom Needs

You’ve just brought your new baby home and things are a little hectic. This is the happiest time in your life, but being a mom is hard in general, those first few months being the hardest. So let’s be real, the last thing on your mind is fashion. But looking stylish A.B. – (after baby) – doesn’t have to be hard! For all of our postpartum mommies, here are a few key wardrobe items to have in your closet that are easy to wear and pair:

Leggings, jeggings and everything in between: Leggings are effortless, comfortable and versatile; not to mention super easy to find no matter where you shop. Have fun with different prints, patterns and lengths.

Tunics: Maybe your body isn’t exactly where you want it to be yet, because honestly who has time between diaper changes, feeding, and all that laundry. Billowy tops are cool and stylish without being hard to pair. Go for a semi fitted top, tight on the chest and billowy on the tummy, for a purposeful look without looking frumpy.

Slouchy pants: Who remembers harem pants! Along that same vein, slouchy trouser pants are a great way to look chic but still casual, while maintaining comfort. Plus, the relaxed fit and pleating at the waist gives added coverage if you’re feeling a little self-conscience about your middle.

Jackets: Nothing says cool and casual like a jacket and the best part about a good, versatile jacket; the ease! A good jacket or blazer, fitted properly, can add crispness to your outfit in one simple step. If you’re feeling like a tunic is too casual or starting to look a little frumpy, a jacket on top can clean your look right up.

Have fun with your accessories: If you’re reluctant to spend on a postpartum wardrobe, have fun with your accessories instead. Dress up a simple tights and tunic duo with fun, statement jewelry or a funky bag.

No matter what your post baby wardrobe looks like, the most important thing for any mommy – for any woman really – is comfort. If you’re comfortable in what you’re wearing, it will show. Invest in a few pieces that are made for your baby body, even if you think they may not fit you in a few months.
