Thankfully, there are already plenty of stores to get your fashion fix for whatever stage of motherhood you are in. Here are a dozen shops to check out!

Simone’s Closet Shop 

Mamas of all shapes and sizes will love the easy and laid-back dresses of Simone’s Closet Shop. The brand is characterized by their loose drapery to achieve a bohemian look. Kaftans are available in a multitude of colors and can be worn with a tassel braided belt. Our fave is the Venus (Php500), a super flattering dress that fits and falls in just the right places. It has a V-shaped front and back with a hemline that cuts slightly below the knees for a slimming silhouette.

Vera Clothing

Vera Clothing has a millennial aesthetic that will resonate with young and fashion-forward moms. The brand is about very “now” pieces like buckle tops, flounce skirts, and cropped blouses. Show off the svelte figure you worked hard for in their gingham knee-length dress (Php550), a casual button-down romper with a relaxed fitted waist and cold shoulder sleeve.

Bub & Weave

Bub and Weave has nursing necessities for the modern mom. The sleeveless Emma top (Php595) is stretchy, comfy, and falls long over the hips, giving extra belly and booty coverage for pregnant ladies. It's versatile enough to pair with a bomber or a blazer and like all the shop’s styles, it has a nursing access for breastfeeding or pumping mamas on the go. It’s available in black, white, and blush, but choose the green version for a truly Christmas vibe.

Seventh Street

Seventh Street serves up cute and feminine outfits for petite mommies. Most of their garments are free-sized so be sure to inquire with them for the right fit. A black maxi wrap dress (Php727) with red roses and ruffles has equal parts elegance and romance. Wear it for Christmas dinner with the family or your college barkada reunion.

Mantou Clothing

The perfect mom jeans are at Mantou Clothing. Pair the brand’s Shim-b’s fave top (Php599) with the raw cut mom jeans (Php789), and you’re all set for a casual lunch at the mall with the fam. The best-selling high-rise denim is loose at the hips (great to hide the puson) and tapers towards a distressed, slightly frayed hem to show off a great pair of shoes.
