What The Cool Moms Are Wearing This Winter
Getting dressed in the winter can be... a lot. It’s cold, mornings are rushed, and there’s barely enough time to brush your teeth let alone put together a cute outfit.
I love knowing what the cool moms are wearing so that I can add at least one little accent piece to my outfit and feel like I’m still trendy but don’t have to put in much effort to look cute in between packing lunches and rushing kids out the door in the morning.
If you’re dropping kids off, running errands, or just trying to feel cute while staying warm, I’ve got you. These are the casual cool mom wardrobe staples that will have you looking put together (even if you aren’t!).
Oversized Chunky Scarves
Pick a neutral color that will go with any outerwear choice. These cozy scarves will have you feeling warm and looking chic by instantly making any outfit feel more styled. Perfect with leggings, sneakers, and a messy bun.
New Balance 327 Sneakers
These are everywhere for a reason. The mom shoe of the moment. They’re cute, comfy, and feel sporty without looking sloppy. Throw them on with a matching set or wide-leg pants and you’re good to go.
YETI Camino Bag
This is the bag that actually holds everything. Snacks, water bottles, your random Target finds. It’s waterproof, wipeable, and doesn’t scream “diaper bag” even if you’re using it as one.
Neutral Matching Sets
Matching sets just make mornings easier. This winter it’s all about soft earth tones like cocoa, oatmeal, and cool greys. Toss on a long coat and sneakers and it looks like you planned your outfit.

Crew socks are having a moment. Pair them with sneakers, clogs, or UGGs. Look for cute textures, subtle stripes, or slouchy styles.
Oversized Wool Coats
Warm and roomy enough for all the layers. These coats go with literally everything. Pick one in a classic color and you’ll wear it all season.

Non Slip Fabric Headbands
The lazy mom’s way of going from washing your face straight to the car line. But in all seriousness, these headbands are now socially acceptable to wear out and about so you can easily cover your greasy hairline and look cute while doing it.
A Pop Of Fur
Fur is the it girl winter trend, so having a little pop of fur in your winter outfit is always going to be a slay. Whether you go for a fur coat, earmuffs, gloves or bag you really can’t go wrong.
Puffer Vests
Perfect for those in-between days. Throw one over a hoodie or sweater to add warmth without the bulk. Bonus if it has pockets. Hot mom walk outfit activated.
Wide-Leg Sweatpants
So comfy and surprisingly flattering. They feel way more current than joggers. Wear them with a cropped hoodie or a fitted tee under your coat. They also pair well with Ugg slipers, sneakers, and Birkenstock clogs.

Color Pop Beanies
Bright beanies are such a fun way to add color. If you live in neutrals (same), just add a hat in a fun color and it totally works.
Chunky Gold Earrings
Even when you’re in sweats, chunky gold earrings make you feel more put together. Keep a pair by the door. You’ll wear them every day.
Thermal Jumpsuits
One piece. Super warm. Shockingly cute. These are the winter version of the summer romper, and they’re a total win.
Puffer Coats in Fun Colors
If you’re in leggings and a hoodie, a fun puffer makes it feel like an outfit. Look for lilac, forest green, or soft metallics.
UGGs Slippers
Yes, millennials, they’re back! And better. But we wear them with socks now.
Winter style doesn’t have to be boring or complicated. With the right mix of cozy staples and a few fun updates, you can feel cute and stay warm all season. Whether you’re heading to drop-off or just trying to survive January, these pieces have your back.
