Fashion tips for mums on the go

By Olivia Maccora | August 8, 2016

Time is never on your side when you are a mum. Taking the time out to browse the latest shopping trends, try on clothes and find the best prices becomes a thing of the past. If you have a tired, old wardrobe that needs a bit of a revamp, follow these fashion tips so that you will look stylish and on trend wherever you go.

Wardrobe essentials:

A pair of blue jeans
Black leggings
Neutral coloured scarfs
A simple jacket (black, navy or cream)
Basic plain tops
A plain blouse
White converses
Flats that you can wear casual or dressy
Ankle boots
Black heels

Notice that the essential items are a somewhat blank canvas for you to add colours, patterns or stripes to. Having neutral colours for the basics, will make it easier and quicker to style. Avoid including too many different patterns when choosing add ons, as there is nothing worse than having a wardrobe full of patterns that limit you mixing and matching your pieces.

Here are some looks to keep you looking effortlessly stylish:
