When I have exactly five minutes to get dressed (which feels like most mornings), I reach for a striped top and tailored trousers. It’s classic, timeless, and looks like I made an effort—without actually thinking about it. Stripes have just enough personality to make an outfit feel interesting, and trousers add instant polish, even if I’m just grabbing coffee or heading to the grocery store.
To finish it off, I toss on flats or loafers and throw my hair into a low bun. Done. No standing in front of the closet, no wondering if it “works.” When you find a combo that makes you feel put-together with minimal effort, it becomes a style superpower. Consider this my official petition to make stripes and trousers the new mom uniform.
