Comfort all of the way - when you are up at 5 - and in bed at 11, they are long days of walking stair climbing, and if I can running, I have swapped my fitted dresses for style and elastic comfort, Love the look of the slip on sketchers - I would wear them every day !

I feel like pre-kids I looked much more put together. I accessorised more and thought more about how to style an outfit - basic things like tucked in/out, sleeves rolled up/down, a flash of lace camisole under a v-neck jumper, does this necklace work with this neckline... now it's much more a case of "grab a top and some trousers that don't totally clash and throw them on." It's very much function over form.
But I've recently started making a more concerted effort to think about accessories a little more, and in that vein I would love to add a pair of BOBS D'Vine - Spotted Bud to my wardrobe. They'd make a boring outfit much more interesting 😊

I wore more jewellery and had manicured nails - now it's shortish nails, no large earrings, I don't wear a face full of make up - but feel much more relaxed without the pressure of looking 'my best' when I set foot out of the door.
Comfy clothes, a ponytail or messy bun, and boots and trainers - they are long tiring days being a new mum and you have to take the pressure off being your old self and embrace you new body and routine.

Honestly since having kids I really feel like I have lost my style! During the newborn days, I lived in leggings and shirts and I think now I just don't know what is stylish or how to get my sense of style back!
I definitely want to dress for comfort a bit more (and be ready for getting muck/food on my clothes!) - but I still want to look somewhat stylish! I think I am maybe in need of a few classic eye pop pieces.

Comfort Ist practicality 2nd - my court shoes and stiletto's are now a long faded memory - love my trainers crocs and wedge boots - that's how my style has changed the most - and my bunions are gone and my feet say thank you

I have always been more comfort over fashion, and never followed trends. I had my children quite late, and life is more important than clothing. I wear what is comfortable and quick, and easy to wash/doesn't need ironing. I am always in trainers, though they can outrun me now.

I don't think my style has changed much since having children, other than initially making sure tops had easy breastfeeding access. I've always worn a variety of clothes but generally practical and comfy so I guess it still works.
I really like the look of these slip ins: https://www.skechers.co.uk/skechers-slip-ins-waterproof-summits---best-choice/150199_NVCL.html

Comfort now matters much more than style - I lived my life in jeans when the kids were young, now I cannot stand heels!

I like the choices Skechers offer .

I've really struggled with style since having a baby. My body has changed and the clothes that used to look good on me don't work in the same way. I feel like I need a new style but I also feel too old to start again! It's tricky.

When you’re running around after a little one, comfort and practicality quickly take over. Comfort is everything: Think leggings, stretchy jeans, and oversized tops you can live in.
Mess-proof clothes: Spit-ups, food stains, you name it , machine washable is essential. Quick and easy outfits: You don’t always have time to think about what to wear, so simple, go-to pieces are a lifestyle .Your body goes through a lot, and it’s normal to feel frumpy and less confident .Flowing tops, high-waisted everything, and stretchy fabrics can make all the difference.
Easy to wear ,slip on comfy shoes, nursing friendly tops, and outfits that can handle a busy lifestyle is how l managed it .

My style changes when I went into maternity wear - maternity jeans and leggings were just the most supportive thing to wear - stayed on stretch jeans. jeggings and good quality leggings, trainers and comfy sportswear.
I love my Eden Lx Court by sketchers - but the slip-on sketchers are the ones I would buy next - great quality, support and comfort !

My style changed from skirts and dresses to jeans and anything stretchy and practical and black 😱 - I am introducing more colour with my tops and blouses- but it's comfort, particularly for my poor feet which spend a lot of time walking, pacing and climbing stairs.
I have my luxury cashmere socks for my feet too !

My style changed from girly to frumpy sadly - need to get back to dresses and court shoes - but happily live in my leggings and oversize t shirts and sweatshirts and trainers and slippers

short wellies and zip up parkas from court shoes and a trench mac !

My style has changed slightly as I went into comfy and stretchy in my 2nd trimester - and on mat leave - I just moved onto leggings, slip in boots, trainers, sliders and crocs.
My 'work wardrobe' is just sitting there and I don't really miss the pressure of looking 'corporate' on the train ever again 😜

Like other mums my style changed from fitted to frumpy (for now) dressing in loose fitting button up blouses and leggings - I feel comfy and ready for the day ahead - doing those 10,000 steps a day !

Stretchers have been a god send. I started wearing them when I was pregnant and haven't stopped. So easy to wear, both the trainers and the boots

I've always worked with young children, dressing for comfort and practicality, so my style didn't really change when I became a mum. The dress code at work basically states that you shouldn't see up it, down it, or through it, and that works for me in general. I tend to wear layers to stay covered, and prints to disguise the dirt.

My style has changed from 'office' wear to a casual type of clothing, elasticated clothes, sports/maternity bras, long dresses with pockets - cardigans with pockets, and pumps and trainers

After having kids, I definitely prioritised comfort over style. No longer wear heels. I also wear less jewellery to prevent small hands pulling earrings and necklaces.

I'd love a pair of GO WALK 7 - Clear Path

My style has changed from floral and fitted to comfy button up everything and stetchy, quick to dress undress and wash and dry - court shoes to comfy slip on trainers.

They are long long days when you are on your feet, and never seem to get a minute so being able to dress quickly with practical non iron stretch clothing and comfy shoes - before being a mum I wore skirt suits and court shoes - but I LOVE being a mum,

I wear a lot of clothes with patterns, to disguise sticky fingerprints!

I also spend a lot more of my life on trainers chasing small children around playgrounds, so like to have a range of trainers to wear

I like these ones https://www.skechers.co.uk/go-walk-flex---kali/124830_MVE.html

Comfort all the way! These are nicehttps://www.skechers.co.uk/waterproof-flex-appeal-5.0---fresh-trek/150213_NVY.html?dwvar_150213_color=NVY

For my it is comfort and practicality, and sweat absorbent, and where laundry is quick with minimal ironing - a change from my pre-baby fitted clothing and skinny jeans and boots.
