Moms are practically superwomen, that’s a universal fact, they’re many things to different people and still manage to pull it off. From running errands to attending PTA meetings and doctors’ appointments - there is simply no way to count it all. Here are 9 clothing items every mom needs in her wardrobe to ensure that they look put together and ready to conquer the world at all times.

1. A Good Pair of Jeans

Jeans are an essential part of any closet and they make the perfect throw on for days when you are going for a dressy look but are clueless on where to start from. You don’t have to stick to the classic blue denim, mix it up until you find what works best for your body type. To do this, take advantage of denim stores that offer free personal shopping appointments so you can try on different styles and colors.

2. A Tailored Blazer

You can always count on a well-tailored blazer to step-up your outfit. They are also great for layering over dresses and skirts. When choosing a blazer, pick one that isn’t too tight, it should fit perfectly both buttoned and unbuttoned.

3. Supportive Undergarments

Nothing ruins a good outfit like the wrong set of undergarments. They not only serve to lessen the friction of outer clothes on your body, but they also help smooth and control your figure. When purchasing a bra, make sure you know your size and buy accordingly.

4. Leggings

This may seem like the classic mom wear but that depends on the occasion. A good pair of leggings can perform multiple functions from workouts to running errands. These ones from curvesncombatboots.com are sewn with extra material for the crotch to provide comfort as you go about your day. You can wear them under dresses or pair them with a long sweater.

5. Comfortable But Stylish Flats

Stylish flats offer you the comfort of sneakers while staying formal. That’s enough reason for every woman to have at least one. Try to go for nude and neutrals since they are great in terms of versatility.

6. Statement Jewelry

If you are going for a simple but elevated look, simply throw on some nice jewelry. Not only will it look great, but it’ll create the impression that you put a lot of thought into your outfit.

7.Wraps

A wrap is a great staple to have as they and it can be used when you’re traveling, running errands, or meeting up with a girlfriend for lunch. They come in different designs that provide functionality and style. Simply pair it up with a simple t-shirt and jeans, and you’ll instantly feel put together.

8. A Versatile Dress

Every mom needs a go-to dress that makes her look and feel good. When picking a dress, make sure it’s a good quality piece that’s fit for any formal occasion, like date night and church.

9. A White Button-Down Shirt

Most fashion gurus swear by this piece, it's the right amount of formal and can be toned down as well. Its versatile nature is also a plus – you can choose to pair it with jeans for a laid back look, or a skirt and blazer for a more formal look.
