12 Essential Fashion Items Every Working Moms Should Have During Their Pregnancy
We all wish we could have our favorite celeb's closet with a regularly rotating wardrobe of designer duds, but as mere mortals, many of us have to stick with a few key pieces to get us through the rest of our lives. Below, 12 things you should have that make dressing up and looking stylish so much easier that HappyMom.Life highly recommends you.
A Trench Coat
The classic outerwear makes any outfit look chic, whether you wear it with jeans or something dressier. Since a trench coat is timeless, it's worth investing in a well-made one to last you season after season.
A Crisp Button-Down Shirt
This versatile piece like this kinda shirt can be paired with a pencil skirt or black pants for work, a midi or maxi skirt for summer or jeans for a casual-cool look.
Neutral Work Pants
A pair of neutral-colored pants are the go-to for work events, since they can be dressed up with a blazer and wedges, or dressed down with flats and a blouse
A Ponte Dress
A well-fitting dress in this wrinkle-resistant fabric makes this a dream item for working moms to own.
Flats with Flair
When the rest of your outfit is simple, a pair of flats with a cute feature—like a fun texture or embellishments—can really up your style game. And best of all, they’re easier on your arches
A Power Blazer
Every mom needs something in her closet to make her instantly feel fierce. Make sure yours is tailored to perfection.
A Chambray Shirt
A denim-inspired top can be worn with different-hued jeans for the weekend, or dressed up with a skirt and jewelry for work
Knee-High Boots
During colder months, cover up your calves with this kind of shoe. For a comfy, casual style to wear with jeans, opt for an equestrian-style pair. For some that look great with dresses too, go for a high-heeled version with an almond or pointy toe
A Leather or Denim Jacket
We all need a casual go-to jacket and both fit the bill perfectly, particularly during the autumn and spring. A leather jacket toughens up an outfit—you feel like a badass instantly—and can balance delicate dresses or skirts with some edge.
A Cashmere Sweater
Lightweight yet incredibly warm, this luxurious piece layers wonderfully over tops or can be worn on its own. Definitely an investment piece, this sort of piece comes in a bunch of colors and is timeless enough to warrant the trip to the dry cleaners
A LBD
Little black dresses look great on everyone, but don’t just choose any black dress. Yours should have a unique element to it, whether it’s a dramatic silhouette or embellishments. If black isn’t your thing, choose an LD in a neutral that flatters your skin tone.
A Sturdy, Stylish Purse
We all need at least one bag that can be filled to the brim, is strong enough to fit a laptop, shoes and our lunch, and won't get ruined if it rains or snows
