As a mum, you know that getting out the door for the school run can be a challenge. Between making breakfast, packing lunch boxes, and getting the kids ready, it’s easy to forget about your own outfit. But with a little planning and some clever styling, you can look and feel great as you drop your little ones off at school. Here is my ultimate guide to dressing for the school run.
- Choose Comfortable Shoes
Comfortable shoes are a must for the school drop off. Opt for sneakers, loafers, or slip-on flats that you can wear all day without any discomfort. My go to sneaker brands at the moment are New Balance and Veja, they create styles that are both comfortable and stylish.
- Layer Up
The weather can be unpredictable, especially in the morning, so layering is key. Choose a lightweight jacket, cardigan, or sweater that you can easily remove if you get too warm. A scarf or a hat can also be a stylish and practical addition to your outfit.
- Embrace Casual Chic
The school drop off is not a fashion show, but that doesn’t mean you can’t look stylish. Embrace casual chic with comfortable, yet stylish pieces like jeans, leggings, or a midi skirt. Pair them with a basic tee or a blouse, and add a statement piece like a colourful scarf or a statement necklace. Knitwear is also great as you won’t need to worry about ironing it!
- Accessorise Wisely
Accessories can add the perfect finishing touch to your outfit. A tote bag is essential for carrying all of your essentials, including extra things for the kids’. Sunglasses are also a must for those bright and sunny mornings.
- Plan Ahead
Planning your outfit the night before can save you time and reduce stress in the morning. Choose an outfit that’s comfortable, stylish, and appropriate for the weather. Lay out your clothes, shoes, and accessories, and make sure they’re clean and wrinkle-free. This will give you more time to help your kids get ready in the morning and help you start your day off on the right foot, feeling fabulous.
Dressing for the morning school run can be simple and stylish even with limited time. Choose comfortable shoes, layer up, embrace casual chic, accessorise wisely, and plan the night before. With these tips, you can look and feel your best as you drop your kids off at school.
