The cool girl became a cool mom — and somewhere between the diaper bags and the school runs, she's finding her way back to herself.
This is something I think about a lot. Not in a complicated way, just in the quiet moments when I'm getting dressed and reaching for something that actually feels like me. Style doesn't disappear when you become a mom — it evolves. And the women who do it best are the ones who never stopped paying attention to what they actually love.
For me, that means sultry suedes, elevated basics, those archival heels on my wishlist and niche brands I discovered before anyone else was talking about them. It means high-street brands mixed with luxury pieces that feel genuinely special without being too precious about it. It means less about what's trending and more about what's been on my radar — the pieces I keep coming back to, the brands I trust, and the things I'm currently coveting for no other reason than they feel right.
This is that edit. My personal buyer-approved picks for the mom who sets the tone — and the woman she's always been.
ISABEL MARANT Bekett Leather & Suede High-Top Platform Sneakers
These have been on my list since high school. The Bekett is the ultimate cool girl sneaker — and now that they're back and I have adult money, they're finally happening. Worth every penny.
THE FRANKIE SHOP Alina Faux Leather Bubble Hem Shorts — Sage
The Frankie Shop is one of my all-time favorite brands — the cool girl's label of choice for a reason. The Alina shorts in sage are relaxed, elevated and exactly the kind of piece that makes an outfit look like you tried without trying.
TOPSHOP Axel Toe Thong Mid Heel Sandals — Cornflower Blue
Topshop is having a major revival moment, and this sandal is proof. The cornflower blue is the color of the season for me, the kitten heel is my current obsession, and the thong silhouette in faux suede makes it feel genuinely cool.
H&M Smocked Seersucker Dress
One of the things that has genuinely changed for me since becoming a mom is my love for longer silhouettes. Maxi dresses feel so right — effortless, chic, and this smocked seersucker version is exactly that.
H&M Padded-Cup Halterneck Swimsuit
Something about the chocolate brown is so beautiful. The covered-up silhouette feels sophisticated and still completely sexy — the swimsuit formula I keep coming back to.
SCHUTZ Roslyn Wedge Jelly Sandal
Not every fashion girl will agree, but I love a wedge — and this jelly version in light blue is so cool. Comfortable, unexpected, and completely on my wavelength right now.
REFORMATION Fern Satin Short
Effortlessly chic. They look relaxed but completely put together — which is essentially the entire formula for cool mom dressing.
MAISON MARGIELA Tabi Satin Ballerina Flats — Pink
For the uninitiated, Tabi shoes feature the brand's signature split-toe silhouette, one of fashion's most iconic and recognizable details. Ballet flats and Tabis are two of the easiest ways to elevate a simple outfit right now — so what's better than both in one? This satin pink pair is insanely gorgeous.
COLLUSION Linen Blend Balloon Pants — White
The pants of the season. Every mom needs a pair of white linen balloon pants in their capsule wardrobe — easy to wear every day and somehow always look put together.
ASOS South Beach Oversized Woven Shoulder Bag — Black
An oversized bag is a summer essential — especially during peak park season. This woven black version is the one I keep reaching for.
ASOS DESIGN Poplin Ruched Scoop Neck Maxi Sundress — Chocolate
A good cotton poplin maxi dress is non-negotiable during the warmer months. Throw it on with your favorite sandals in a rush and still look completely intentional.
NEXT Jelly Flip Flop Toe Thong Sandals — Red
Obsessing over jelly at the moment and this deep red shade is everything. The thong silhouette keeps it cool and the color does all the work.
WEEKDAY Dropped Armhole Maxi Dress with Ruched Detail — Gray Melange
The deep cut sides on this dress are everything. Dress it down with sandals for the day or dress it up with heels for a night out — one of the most versatile pieces in this edit.

GAP Vegan Leather Wedge Thong Sandals
Clearly, I have a thing for thong wedges in shades of blue right now — and this Gap pair is the most wearable version of the moment. Obsessed.
TOPSHOP Drawstring Detail Performance Fabric Balloon Maxi Dress — Khaki Green
The color of this dress is everything. The maxi length feels so right and the drawstring details give it just enough personality to make it feel intentional rather than easy.
OLEND Dumpling Bag — Yellow
This bag comes in so many beautiful colors, but something about the yellow really does it for me. The fun shape, the vegan leather, and the durability make it the perfect mom bag that doesn't look like one.
COS Ribbed Cotton Tank Top
Every spring and summer there's a tank that goes viral and sells out — and I'd bet money this COS one will be a top contender. So simple, so elevated, so right.
EADEM Le Chouchou Exfoliating + Softening Peptide Lip Balm
The one non-clothing item that earned its place in this edit. This is the lip balm I keep going back to — every cool girl and cool mom needs it on her shelf.
LIONESS Rising Sun Jersey Polo
Polo sweaters and oversized knits are wardrobe constants — season to season, year to year. This one earns its place in the rotation.
THE FRANKIE SHOP Nelis Silk Bermuda Shorts — Champagne
The Frankie Shop does it again. Silk bermuda shorts might be the chicest item in this entire edit — and somehow still the most comfortable. That's the brand's magic.
ZARA Rib Tank Top
Another perfectly ribbed tank — I love the higher neckline on this one and the soft color range it comes in. A wardrobe staple that does more than it looks like it should.
THE FRANKIE SHOP Marty Leather Belt — Army Green
A great belt is one of the easiest ways to pull an outfit together. The army green leather from The Frankie Shop is the one I keep reaching for.
ZARA TRF Mid-Rise Folded Baggy Jeans
Love the denim color on these and baggy jeans are the cool girl uniform right now. The folded detail makes them feel considered rather than just relaxed.
THE FRANKIE SHOP Lui Organic Cotton Boxer Shorts — Dark Plum
Love the whole set. The perfect casual outfit — and I'd style it with one of the thong heels in this edit to give it a chic twist. That contrast is the whole point.
ZARA Washed Effect Fleece Pants with Studs
The stud detail on a washed fleece pant is so unexpected and completely right. Wear with the matching hoodie for the full look.
ZARA Studded Hoodie Sweatshirt
The matching set to the fleece pants above — wear them together for one of the coolest casual looks in this edit. The stud detail does all the heavy lifting.
MAISON MARGIELA Suede Quilted Low-Top Sprinter Sneakers
Soft, quilted suede on a sneaker silhouette — obsessed with this direction in footwear right now. These are the kind of sneakers that make a simple outfit feel genuinely luxurious.
THE FRANKIE SHOP Scoob Boxy T-Shirt — Pale Olive
The Frankie Shop boxy tee is a wardrobe staple — pale olive is the color to get it in right now. Effortless, cool and completely on brand for everything this edit stands for.
ASOS DESIGN Dropped Belt Mid Length Trench Coat — Stone
The shorter trench is having a serious moment and this dropped belt version is the coolest iteration of it — the mid length hits differently from the classic floor-grazing version and feels much more wearable for everyday life.
UNIQLO Cotton Culottes — Black
Black cotton culottes are a wardrobe constant. Uniqlo does the basics better than almost anyone and these are proof.
COTTON ON 91 Baggy Denim Jort
The baggy denim jort is the cool girl uniform and this Cotton On version is the accessible entry point everyone needs in their rotation.
& OTHER STORIES Tie-Waist Cotton Shirt
& Other Stories consistently delivers on the elevated basics and this tie-waist cotton shirt is a perfect example — effortless, feminine and completely versatile.
& OTHER STORIES Barrel-Leg Jeans
The perfect baggy jean. & Other Stories gets the proportions exactly right on this one — the barrel leg silhouette is cool girl-approved and these are the version worth investing in.
& OTHER STORIES Oversized Drawstring Utility Jacket — Khaki
The transitional jacket of the season. All three colorways are strong but the khaki is the one — oversized, utilitarian and completely effortless. The kind of jacket that goes over everything.
Style doesn't disappear when you become a mom — it just finds a new version of itself. These are the pieces helping me find mine.
