THE BOHO CHIC MOM
This mother is a free-spirited stylish figure who merges eclectic, relaxed fashion with artistic flair and a touch of nature. Embracing individuality and self-expression, she weaves her love for the arts and holistic lifestyle seamlessly into her family life. Her approach is a harmonious blend of laid-back elegance and thoughtful, whimsical charm.
The waves are crashing, the sun is out and so is the boho chic mom. In this heat, she prefers to stay true to her preferred sun reflecting all-white color palate. Recommended choices are the airy loose fitting organza trousers by Brunello Cucinelli, paired with a white Valentino Garavani crochet leather shoulder bag and fussfriend leather sandals.
The ideal mom is both gentle and strong at the same time, she can be soft but also firm when needed. Reflect your mommy personality with jewellery choices such as Oscar de la Renta’s gold falling petals earrings, a delicate Tory Burch crystal pearl logo bracelet and Charriol’s forever lock cable bangle.
For beachwear, opt for swimsuits with flattering cuts like the Missoni zig zag one-shoulder swimsuit. Last but not least, complete your look with Miu Miu translucent shades and a flowy linen cape with fringes by Brunello Cucinelli adding just the right amount of boho to your natural chic.

THE SOPHISTICATED MAMA
The sophisticated mom embodies elegance and refinement in every aspect of her life. She skillfully blends elegance with coastal charm while embracing a laid-back yet fashion-forward approach to motherhood. Playing with your kids by the shore shouldn’t mean compromising your style; form doesn’t always have to follow function, and this Mama knows it. Whether she is lounging under a beach umbrella or building sandcastles with the kids, she consistently maintains an elegant appearance, embodying a chic powerhouse who manages everything.
While she doesn’t shy away from getting dirty while having fun with the kids , she opts for a clean, refined and sophisticated appearance, whenever the little rascals let her. And what says sophisticated chic more than the color white? Therefor a sandstone-colored swimsuit by Jade Swim combined with white Twinset wide-leg trousers, a matching PRISM² cropped top and the Miu Miu crochet tote are the way to go.
The ultimate mom accessory this season is the golden Mama bracelet by Roxanne Assoulin. Combine this centerpiece with distinctive rings by Missoma, Nialaya Jewelry and Marc Jacobs. Complete the ensemble with pops of blue and turquoise using Dima Jewellery’s drop necklace.
Even the best mommy needs some alone time, so she can recharge and be her radiant self. Once you’ve put the little ones down for a nap, grab your wide-brimmed straw fedora by Ruslan Baginskiy as well as the Okhtein’s Yasmine shades and enjoy a peaceful walk along the beach in Gianvito Rossi embellished flip flops.
