What is trending in the world of fashion changes every year. Keeping up with what’s in style is challenging when you’re a busy mama who’s constantly cleaning up, preparing meals and working all day. That’s a fact, so how can you possibly be expected to keep up with the latest clothing trends?

During the height of the pandemic, many of us became comfortable dressing down, going braless, and saying goodbye to snug jeans. But who says we can’t tackle a look that is cozy and polished? From 2021-2022: biker shorts have begun replacing short-shorts, bright colors are trending, tie dye and retro patterns are making a major comeback, and let’s not forget, joggers are the new skinny jeans. The accessories you choose will help others determine whether or not you’re lounging around town post-yoga class or preparing for a job interview.

Replacing your entire wardrobe every year, however, is too expensive. But purchasing a few clothing items within your budget will help boost your self-esteem and keep you feeling proud with what you’re wearing every day.

Bearing in mind that no two moms are alike, we narrowed down a list of must-have clothing items—there is a little something for everyone. And the best part? Each garment costs less than $75.

We carefully selected each piece based on several factors: pricing, quality, and the level of comfort. Enjoy browsing through our wide-ranging list, and of course, happy shopping!
