If you’re attending a wedding or planning your little one’s christening you may feel you have to wear a dress to fit the traditional dress code. Which is generally ok pre-motherhood, but if you’re breastfeeding, toting a sizeable mum tum or chasing after a toddler you’ll understand a formal dress may not tick all the boxes of comfort and style.
Well, do not despair. A ladylike alternative has ridden the back of the sports luxe look, giving coordinating separates a glamorous and grown up makeover. In fact just this week Debenhams reported on the rise in sales of trouser suits as style savvy women rush to copy the red carpet and paparazzi-snapped looks of the stars. It may seem a little prim 90s/ Kate Middleton, but with the right punchy accessories, you’ll look refreshing and chic. Mums say hello to matchy matchy, a fashion forward occasion wear solution for stylish mums after nine.
