Think capsule wardrobes are the domain of fashionistas and influencers? Think again. We’re here to show you just how easy it is to create the perfect capsule wardrobe. Simply by mixing and matching a handful of beautiful pieces, you will conquer the day in style and rock events by night.

And luckily for us, the fashion-forward and mum-friendly label Motto has every style and occasion taken care of.

Yes, you’re a mum, but you’re still you! You’re sexy, you’re amazing, you’re worthy of feeling as fabulous as you are. And that’s why we know you’ll love Motto as much as we do.

The driving force behind the phenomenon that is Motto, is mother and daughter duo Faye Browne and Lauren French, who are determined to make women exude confidence and find their inner sparkle. Everything they create has style and comfort at its core, so the looks we pulled together from the sublime Motto collection will make you feel like you can breeze through work, a session at the play centre, and dance the night away.

There’s a reason Motto has more than 10,000 five-star reviews and more than 5000 people on their waitlists. Because it’s fashion that works for everybody. Whether you’ve been a mum for four months or ten years, Motto will make you rethink what’s possible when it comes to feeling like the queen you are.

Creating A Capsule Wardrobe for Day and Night

If you’re unfamiliar with a capsule wardrobe, it’s about investing in key pieces that all work well together. By mixing and matching quality, timeless styles with a couple of spectacular accessories, you will get so much more wear out of your wardrobe.

Our mission was to create a capsule wardrobe that could utilise pieces for day and night. Not an easy task! We chose a mix of denim, classic black pants, a snazzy blazer, a viral shirt (more about this later!), a couple of versatile tees, and some accessories.

We’ve created a 20-piece wardrobe capable of dozens of different combinations. From play dates and brunch with the girls to fancy dinners, work, and parties, we’ve got your style covered. We put together some of the looks below to demonstrate how this capsule wardrobe works, but the gang at Motto has also put together a selection of outfit ideas for you to check out.

Night Looks with Motto

We’ve started our Motto Capsule Wardrobe with nighttime looks. This could be anything from the kids’ soccer presentation night to movies with the girls, so we created a few looks that could cover anything mum life may throw your way.

The Lipstick Sisca Blazer is the hero of our first look. Available in an array of gorgeous colours and prints, this beautiful double-breasted blazer is one of the pieces that Motto is known and loved for. We’ve paired it with the matching Lipstick Cleo Pant for a touch of sophistication, the crisp White Classic T-Shirt, and finished the outfit with the Shell Cross Gold Necklace for an extra dose of fabulousness!

Our second nighttime look starts with the fabulous Black Ponte Miracle Skirt – an absolute must for a mum’s wardrobe! Dress her up with heels or flip the look to casual with some sneakers. The Ponte fabric will hug your curves while creating a seriously sultry silhouette. We’ve kept this night look a little more contemporary by pairing the skirt with the Black Washed Classic T-Shirt, which will soon become a staple in your wardrobe. Throw the Black Sequin Sisca Blazer over the shoulders and the Gold Pave Cross Necklace to complete the look – divine!

Our final look for the evening features a printed suit packed with personality. The Black/Latte Summer Blazer screams elegance, and when paired with the Black/Latte Paperbag Pants, it’s a match made in style heaven! We’ve added a subtle hint of femininity with the Black Lace Dobby Cami peeking through the blazer and taken the outfit to a whole new level with the Gold G Style Chain Necklace to finish.

Everyday Looks with Motto

From running errands and meeting friends to ferrying the kids around, a mum’s life is busy. So, we love pieces that are comfy yet considered. We’ve started our everyday looks with the White Madam Cassandra T-Shirt and Light Paisley Denim Skirt. Elevate the whole look with the Lipstick Sorrento Sisca Blazer and Motto’s first pair of kicks – the Gold/Black Sequin Sneaker – and you are ready for whatever the day holds.

Our second look features the White Femme Blogger Shirt – a viral sensation, selling out in just 24 hours FIVE TIMES OVER! It’s unbelievably soft, super-flattering for all body shapes, and incredibly versatile. For a wow-worthy look, we’ve teamed it with the Black Coated Miracle Pants that sculpt and shape your bum and flatter every inch of that amazing figure! The only thing missing from this modern look is denim – so we finished this outfit with the Light Denim Sisca Blazer and the Quilted Denim Tote Bag to carry all the bits and bobs you need to keep at arm’s reach.

Finally, we love the look of the Taupe Rib Crew Cami and the Coffee Cleo Pants. These beauties ooze effortless elegance with the cinched-in waist and luxurious gold detailing. Paired with Mum’s must-have Quilted Denim Tote Bag and the bold Gold/Black Sequin Sneaker for extra sparkle, looking this good has never been so easy!
