Mums' OutiftsTotally On-Trend

Feathers

They’re everywhere right now, and we’re so here for it. For extra style points, team your feather fashion with lace, mesh or sequins.

Pops of colour

Don’t blend in – be bright, bold and beautiful when it comes to your outfit. Then accessorise with metallics, or even more colour! Think simple, structured silhouettes in electric blue or eye-popping cherry red, or go for playful pink and add a striking turquoise bag and shoes.

Metallics

Team your colour blocking with the return of metallic fabric and you’ll be winning the best dressed award if there was one. 2023 will see the return of this disco fever style, and not just in silver and gold… Check out the funky high-shine pink dresses!

Cut-outs

Go as subtle or sultry as you like (within reason of course!) with this trend, and you’ll find you’ve instantly injected a big dose of glamour to your wedding guest look.

Capes

For mums looking to add flair, drama and elegance, pick a cape for your cover up. This trend is popping up everywhere this year, and it’s all the rage for weddings too. Go sheer for summer and choose a heavier option in the cooler months.

Statement sleeves

Add some interest to your dress, jacket or suit with a feature sleeve. Just take your pick from puffed, gathered, lantern-cut or balloon and get ready to make a big impression.

The perfect bag

Don’t forget your accessories, especially your handbag… Where else would you store those tissues for the ceremony?! This year, you’re looking at simple, elegant styles. Guests, MOBs or MOGs going for a streamlined, sophisticated look should grab a structured top handle bag whilst those who want to add a touch of glam to their outfit will be reaching for a chic clutch. Boho vibes? A shoulder or cross-body bag is sure to give you that relaxed, effortless look.

Versatility

With sustainability and the cost of living crisis high on the agenda, buying a one-time outfit simply isn’t a desirable option for many people. Focus on making a practical purchase you can wear again and again.

Confidence

Feeling comfortable and confident in an outfit is the trendiest thing out there are the moment. There’s no point wearing something you don’t feel is ‘you’, nor something that doesn’t fit like a glove. You want to spend your day enjoying the atmosphere and celebrating with those around you, not smoothing down a skirt or wincing at the pain of too-high-heels. Dress for yourself and no-one else, and you’ll be looking and feeling like a total ten. ♥
