I have a confession: Although I’ve been a fashion editor for a decade, I tend to dress with comfort first and style second (eeek, I know!). But hey, I’m a busy mom to a toddler, can you blame me? But with a new season, comes a new mindset and I want to find ways to wear fashion-forward clothes that are still functional.
To help me with my wardrobe refresh this spring, I’m turning to my mom, 54, for advice. After all, she’s constantly referred to as the best-dressed in her office (and in our family!). And she’s somehow always ahead of the trends, and has had impeccable taste for decades.
Luckily for me (and you), she shared the top fashion pieces she always gets compliments on. Even better? You can shop everything on Amazon, including outfit-elevating boots, flattering wide-leg jeans, a breezy maxi dress, and Martha Stewart’s favorite sneakers. Her go-to fashion picks start at just $15.
6 Mom-Approved Fashion Staples From Amazon
Anrabess Casual Maxi Dress
Amazon
My mom and I live in Texas, and the weather has been slightly chaotic, going from chilly mornings to warm afternoons. My mom’s go-to fix? This Anrabess Maxi Dress. The blanket-soft material keeps her comfy and cozy, while the long, flowy style is perfect for all-day movement (and cool temps).
Skechers Ultra-Flex 3.0 Neptune Sneakers
Amazon
My mom is in her hot girl walking era. To keep her on track, she scored Martha Stewart’s favorite kicks, the Skechers Ultra-Flex 3.0 Neptune Sneakers. The cushioned, memory foam insoles and podiatrist-approved design ensures she’s supported and comfortable with each step, while the slip-on style is easy to throw-on-and-go.
Arach&Cloz Striped Classic Crew Neck Sweater
Amazon
My mom and Gwyneth Paltrow both have an affinity for striped shirts, so I wasn’t surprised that she’s a fan of this Arach&Cloz sweater. The lightweight design makes it a great layerable; plus the classic crewneck silhouette and flattering fit means it’ll never go out of style.
Motimoden Chunky Ankle Boots
Amazon
These Motimoden boots were made for walking…and turning heads. Between the croc-inspired texture, modern square-toe front, and chunky two-inch heels, these booties are compliment magnets. Not to mention, their ergonomic design and easy pull-on style make them practical for work, running errands, and everything in between.
Meetrendi Long-Sleeve Half-Zip Slim-Fitted Blouse
Amazon
Another can’t-miss closet staple? This Meetrendi long-sleeve top. The half-zip detail adds a cool factor, but it’s also perfect for spring weather—zip it all the way up when it’s cold to protect your chest or zip it down if the weather warms up. Genius!
Sidefeel High-Waisted Wide-Leg Jeans
Amazon
My mom is picky about denim, but this flattering Sidefeel style checks off all her boxes. Not only are they made with a soft, stretchy, breathable fabric, but the wide-leg silhouette offers a more comfortable, non-restricting feel. Even better? The wide, slanted patch pockets create an optical illusion that secretly sculpts and shapes her figure.
