Whether she’s a longtime or aspiring fashionista, these Black-owned Mother’s Day gifts will have your mama feeling and looking good.
Who says mamas can’t be fly? Society sometimes leads women to believe that once they bear the badge of motherhood, they must begin dressing a certain way. Though becoming a mom can change many aspects of a woman’s life, it does not necessarily have to change her sense of style; whether they are breastfeeding a newborn, chasing toddlers, or ushering a tween to afterschool activities, moms should feel just as good as Superwoman in her super-suit. Prioritizing comfort and practicality, these fashionable gift ideas are perfect for moms who love to feel comfortable, confident and cute — while juggling it all.
Luxury Black-owned fashion label Hanifa invites shoppers to step into comfort and style with its latest collection. Adding a unique flair to traditional loungewear pieces, the size-inclusive brand’s Comfort capsule includes hoodies, sweaters, maxi dresses and more that can be dressed up or down.
Every woman needs a good pair of jeans (or ideally several), but some women stray away from denim for fear of an uncomfortable or awkward fit. However, with its inclusive jean styles, Good American offers both style and comfort. Whether they’re seeking tummy compression or jeans that feel just as soft as their favorite leggings, a pair of trendy Good American jeans is the perfect gift for mamas hoping to elevate their everyday casual looks. If you don’t know her size or don’t want to seem insensitive to any weight fluctuations, give her a gift card to retailers like Nordstrom or Bloomingdale’s so she can find her perfect pair in person.
Francoise and Company’s embellished fitteds are not your average baseball caps. From diamonds and pearls to roses, Dominique Armstrong, the brand’s designer, adds a feminine flair to the accessory. Whether she’s having a lazy hair day, a bad hair day, or looking to accessorize a casually chic outfit, these caps can elevate even the simplest look.
