What’s Trendy For Moms In 2022?
Trends for moms are just the same as trends for everyone else. It might have a little bit of a different spin on it, but if you were going to wear baggy boyfriend jeans before you had kids, it’s still cool for you to do so.
But thinking practically for a mom, you need to mix trends with convenience. And that can look like a lot of different things.
Baggy boyfriend jeans for starters– super trendy and so cute! But they also leave some wiggle room for all the mom activities and moving around you need to do. If you’re simply an older mom, not sure if these are too young for you, they’re not. Wear the baggy jeans. They’re cute on everyone.
High neck ribbed tank tops. These are great staples, perfect for layering. They’re also great alone though if it’s hot out! If you don’t love your arms showing or it’s a little chilly, a denim jacket or a cool white linen button down are perfect layers to go over these tops.
We’re just getting started but these are some of the best!
Casual Cool Mom Pieces
I have a few other ideas you might want to have on hand in addition to the baggy jeans, linen top, and high neck tank top.
Okay, depending on what generation you place yourself in, this might be a little triggering.
Remember yoga pants? Yeah, kids are calling them flared leggings these days. They’re pretty cool for a less mom-ish look, if you’re running around. They’re comfortable and trendy with the flared leg, and pair them with a blouse or tee and you’re good to go!
Oversized cardigans are a perfect layering piece and make everything look put together and fresh.
For shoes, a mule is always cute! A good slide on choice that’s easy. In 2022, the pointed toes is always a classic but a rounder or more square toe is the move.
Any classic white sneaker (leather of course!) is a great option for a casual outfit.
What Do Soccer Moms Wear?
Soccer moms are a specific style of mom. I want to acknowledge the ones that want to dress like moms, but still do it in a cool way.
Soccer moms are very brand specific with their athleisure. Dressed and ready for soccer practice or games in their name brand leggings and running tops, with their favorite pair of running shoes.
They might look ready for any soccer game, but really they’re ready for the grocery store races!

Going to work as a mom I’m sure is tough on so many different levels.

Moms are truly superheroes. Doing everything that we could never even dream of! Hats of to you, you working moms.

So especially as a mother, you’re not expected to look “presentable” for your errands run.
However, if you’re someone that would like to look put together, even if you don’t have to, here are some of my favorite cute errands outfits you can try out!

19. Gray Sweats

You can dress however you want as a mom. Never let anyone tell you that you should be more or less trendy when you’re carrying the lives of little ones or even teenagers on your back. You get to be whoever you want to be.
I know my mom, as a mother of young adults, mentions that she can’t wear certain trends because it makes it look like she’s trying to be too young. But I am so against that way of thinking– trends are for everyone!
Whether you tap into the trend resurgences of yoga pants and baggy jeans or if you’re all about the skinny jeans and slip on vans still, wear what you want to wear!
As you research what you should be wearing, don’t include the search term, “mom” unless you’re looking for your functional pieces. Look for trendy pieces that you love!
