I'm in my 40s but only have one ten year old if that counts. I would have dressed similarly when she was younger.

I like Whistles, Reiss, All Saints, Hush. Few bits from Cos. Jeans usually from Tesco (although loving Sainsburys barrel jeans). Also pick up the odd top from Tesco when I'm in doing the groceries. I like casual t shirts and sweatshirts from Eden Ashram, Disko Kids, Scamp & Dude.

Boots mainly from All Saints, trainers from everywhere from Saucony to Adidas to Kurt Geier to Veja and some of the brands listed above.

Reiss, Sezane, Jigsaw, Whistles, few things from White Company, M&S, Hobbs and Wyse

I wear M&S and Bonmarche usually bought on Vinted. I like comfy shoes and Clarks suit me best.

I’m not in my 40’s but my children are 😆

I'm in my late 40s and wear Next, Karen Millen, Hobbs, Roman Originals dresses and jump suits and tops. Footwear - mostly Long Tall Sally boots and adidas trainers

I'm in my 40s with a 5 year old. For casual, I usually wear jeans (often M&S or Tu because I find both really good for jeans), my Nike Legacy Courts and some kind of jumper, usually cashmere and/or from Uniqlo. For work, a mix of Reiss, Whistles, H&M, Mango and the odd bit from Zara.

Do mothers of young children dress differently to other women in their forties?

I mainly wear Zara and H&M but I'm late 40s with teenage children so don't fit your criteria.
