What would be in your new mum capsule wardrobe?

I am 4 months PP, had to sell most of my pre baby jeans/trousers/skirts (basically bottoms of any kind) on Vinted or take them to charity as they don’t fit anymore. Just couldn’t get any of them past my hips.

I used to be a size 10, I’m back to a 10 on my top half but probably more like a 12 in bottoms now. I’ve bought one pair of size 12 mom jeans since I had the baby and they’re literally all I wear. I also feel like a lot of my old clothes aren’t really me anymore - I spent so long in maternity clothes I feel like I’ve just sort of lost my sense of “style” if I ever had one! I like neutral, simple outfits, I follow lots of fashion influencers on instagram but they all seem to wear a lot of tailoring which isn’t really my cup of tea.

If you were putting together a new mum capsule wardrobe, what would be in it? Just for simple, easy everyday outfits that aren’t the same pair of jeans or old maternity leggings and a jumper everyday!

Cargo pants. Comfy but stylish

I didn't go back to my normal size for a year after each of mine, don't be in too much hurry to restock in new sizes, it may be the same for you!

For summer I’ve been enjoying culottes, and (were practical - not always) midi length shirt style dresses.
