Fashion & Beauty: Classic Fashion for the Special Mom in Your Life

18

Mother’s Day falls on May 11th this year, a perfect occasion to celebrate all the incredible women who take on the role of “mom”—new moms, seasoned mothers, grandmothers, and those who have loved like mothers. While every mom is unique, they all share a common thread: putting their families first and themselves last. That’s why gifting clothing or accessories for Mother’s Day feels extra special—it’s a thoughtful gesture just for her, a token of appreciation for the one who always gives.

I love that Mother’s Day arrives during one of the most beautiful times of year in the Northeast. Spring bursts forth with vibrant color—pinks, whites, yellows, lavenders, and blues—and those same hues are mirrored in the season’s fashion trends. Gifting clothing this time of year means offering mom a timeless addition to her wardrobe. Spring 2025 fashion features refreshed versions of classic styles that she’ll turn to time and again.

Consider a pair of soft blue wide-leg trousers paired with a matching sleeveless vest—an elevated twist on the traditional pantsuit. A butter-yellow spring sweater or a pink button-down shirt with white pixie pants is effortlessly chic and practical for everything from school pickups to brunch with friends. Lavender dresses are everywhere this season—whether it’s a flowing maxi for weekend outings or a simple, above-the-knee shift dress perfect for the office. Florals are always fitting for spring, but look for patterns with lasting appeal to ensure she can enjoy them beyond this season.

Accessories also make wonderful Mother’s Day gifts, and timeless pieces are easy to find. Handbags remain a favorite—opt for a color and silhouette that will work with a variety of outfits and stand the test of time. With proper care, a high-quality bag can last for years. Whether you go with a satchel, tote, or clutch, your gift will be one she treasures. Belts, hair accessories, and casual jewelry in seasonal shades or versatile neutrals can freshen up her look without a big investment.

Great fashion exists at every price point, so don’t let budget constraints discourage you. The best gift is one chosen with her in mind—something she’ll be proud to wear and excited to show off. Be thoughtful, choose something classic, and most of all, enjoy the day with the special mom in your life.
