Real-Life Mom Style Tips

Our Head of Social at Poppylist, Sandra, recently returned from maternity leave after welcoming her second baby. She’s the person you’d stop in the middle of the street to ask where she got her dress—and I have! She  shared her postpartum wardrobe secrets, emphasizing the importance of staying stylish to feel good while adjusting to life with a newborn. Here's her advice:

“I’ve used PJs (love Sleep Code) and loungewear a lot while at home but tried to get dressed in something cute as much as I could (and still doing it!). It made me feel better. I’ve mostly been using midi and long dresses that help hide the postpartum diapers and extra weight. I also try to choose styles that are breastfeeding-friendly when possible. If you can meet your basic needs, even if all that means is throwing on a dress, I promise it’ll improve your mood postpartum!”

Some of her favorite brands for postpartum dresses include Christy Dawn, Doên, Cleobella, D’Ascoli, Daily Sleeper, and Hill House (known for their iconic Nap Dress). These dresses are comfortable, stylish, and perfect for our ever changing bodies during the fourth trimester.

She also shared that for very warm days, she reuses some of the clothes she wore during pregnancy like Bump Suit, elastic waist mom shorts, and linen shirts from Zara, Mango, Massimo Dutti, Banana Republic, and H&M.

For footwear, she swears by comfortable flats or Mary Janes, particularly Loeffler Randall’s mesh ballerinas (and the affordable Target dupe!) and Sveti Stefan's Mary Janes, which are perfect for transitioning into fall.
