Parenting may wear you down, but the right clothes can add pep to your step. Moms need clothes that are easy and functional, but still cute.

She also recommends dresses with drawstring waists as a staple for mom, because they’re so easy to slip on, and the drawstring adds some style to a loose-fitted dress. As for leggings — every mom’s favorite — yes, they’re super comfortable, but be sure to wear a long enough tunic over them; they’re not a substitute for pants.
