EASY PEASY TRANSITIONAL FASHION FOR MUMS ON THE RUN

Summer! What summer? It’s been a wet, grey and chilly couple of months and I’m well and truly over this disappointing British weather. I mean way to play with my emotions. I wake up to grey clouds, by lunchtime I’m sweltering in my cardigan and in the afternoon I’m drenched in rain.

So, what’s next? Ah Autumn, a trustworthy fashion season where you know where you stand with the elements and layer up accordingly. So, as we straddle a dismal summer and weeks of windy leaf-strewn roads, let’s take a look at those transitional fashion essentials that will keep mums on the run packing serious style.

Sleeveless coats have become a wardrobe staple for Victoria Beckham, a must-wear transitional style.

1. A felt fedora, it will be a smart alternative to pushing a buggy badly while holding an umbrella.

2. A fine knit jumper, the ultimate trans-seasonal style staple.

3. A denim jacket for cooler weather, it’s the perfect cool mama layer.

4. Closed toe sandals, because for some reason if you can keep your toes dry, then you’ve beat the rain.

5. A sleeveless coat, (this is not just a coat with no sleeves) but a smart style choice keeping your body warm, but your arms cool when the weather’s somewhere in the middle.

6. A checked shirt, not only because this timeless print screams forests, lumberjacks and all the joys of autumn, but it looks banging tied around the waist – 90s style.

7. Culottes, because they’re part trousers and part shorts, so more leg coverage and one of the coolest silhouettes of the season.
