Gone are the days when you
could just rock up at school
wearing a nondescript
outfit. Thanks to yummy
celeb mummies Elle MacPherson and
Claudia Schiffer, “school run style” has
developed a whole new meaning. So
what are the rules of this mummy-chic
movement? Here are our tips for looking
effortlessly put-together:
• You can wear your yoga gear but
make sure it’s from a cool brand like
Lululemon or Sweaty Betty – and
don’t forget your green smoothie as
an accessory!
• Jeans or shorts should be pimped
up with some serious arm candy and
accessories. As you’re on a school
run, a handbag comes in handy for
the after-school snacks.
• Add a cashmere jumper or pretty top to your jeans.
• Another great way to dress up your jeans or shorts is to
wear them with a T-shirt and add a little jacket or scarf.
• Heels are not a comfortable option, unless you’re on your
way to work, so opt for nice sandals or ballerina flats.
• Keep makeup simple, though a slick of lipstick will always
make you look more awake.
