Spring Style Updates for You and Your Mini Me
Created with Crewcuts
Contrary to received wisdom, mom-and-me dressing needn’t be matchy-matchy. Or cutesy. Or more saccharine than stylish. And you can do it in a way that feels true to your own personal style. The secret to pulling it off lies in selecting pieces that are complementary, rather than identical. Below, three coordinating outfits, each with its own distinct aesthetic.
Prep-School Cool
This season’s kick-flare pant and an of-the-moment polo top are a foolproof formula that reads effortlessly put-together. And for the kids: collegiate stripes and classic denim—easy.

Fresh Flowers
Cheery florals and tiered ruffles (the asymmetric one on that Crewcuts skirt is particularly good) make it easy to embody the spirit of spring. These unapologetically pretty pieces—a fuss-free halter dress for you, a flouncy mini for her—are hard to resist (but why would you want to?).

Utility Company
A pair of wear-anywhere khakis, a hardworking windbreaker, and an elevated array of tonal accessories make the case for comfort and ease. And the neutral palette and utility-minded details are easy to coordinate with: light jeans, a tee, and a field jacket—check, check, and check.
