23 Elegant Mothers Day Outfit Ideas

Maybe you’re choosing an outfit for a Mother’s Day brunch or want something a bit chicer to wear at a family dinner. There’s plenty of good reasons choose some Mothers Day outfit ideas that are a bit more elegant! Let Peerspace inspire you with 23 of our favorite ideas for a lovely look this Mother’s Day.

1. Show off some bright colors with a floral midi or maxi dress

The floral printed dress is a staple for any event where it’s not going to be formal and you want a little color to catch everyone’s eyes! A midi or maxi dress is also a great choice if you’re going to have a Mother’s Day photoshoot after the party.

2. Celebrate spring with a V-neck maxi dress

Mothers Day outfit ideas like this usher in the radiance of spring with a V-neck maxi dress. This particular dress has a soft and elegant feel thanks to the loose fabric! It’s just the right outfit for a Mother’s Day garden party. All you need is a venue to match!

Did you know that Peerspace has some amazing outdoor party venues for a Mother’s Day brunch or BBQ party? We think this Mediterranean-style villa in Miami, FL, is just the spot for an outdoor holiday party!

3. Keep it simple with a solid color jumpsuit

Jumpsuits strike an amazing balance between classy and casual, with the extra bonus of being really comfortable. A solid color jumpsuit is easy to accessorize and keeps things simple. Plus, they come in so many styles, including off the shoulder and square neck jumpsuits!

4. Go boho with a poncho and jeans 

Boho fashion is so much fun with the many patterns and colors to choose from. A tasseled multicolor poncho with jeans and the top of your choice is super stylish. The poncho adds some warmth as well if it’s still a bit chilly where you are when Mother’s Day rolls around!

5. Loosen up with a boho wrap dress

A wrap dress and a sunhat are another way to embrace the boho style. A poncho is going to be too warm in many parts of the country, but a wrap dress is light, breezy, and perfect for a beach party, picnic, or outdoor Mother’s Day event!

6. Include some spring themed headbands for your hair

Tame your hairdo with some hair bands that include spring themed patterns! Some cute floral headbands add a nice colorful pop to your ensemble. If you really want to embrace the spring blossom theme, you can even pick up a headband that rocks full-sized faux flowers.

Speaking of spring blossoms, our lovely garden party ideas help you find the perfect place for hosting a verdant Mother’s Day gathering. Check them out!

7. Skip the fuss with a simple romper

Choosing between all of these Mothers Day outfit ideas can be hassle-free when you wear a nice romper. All you need are the right accessories to complete your look since it’s a one-piece outfit. Grab some statement jewelry, a handbag, and some comfortable shoes and you’re all set!

8. Pair jeans with a tweed jacket

Jeans can be part of a classy ensemble when paired with the right top. This red tweed jacket and jean combo proves the point; it’s elevated enough for a Mother’s Day brunch. Especially with those flashy gold buttons! You can easily keep it more casual with a simple white t-shirt underneath the tweed jacket.

9. Enjoy a laid-back Mother’s Day with a pastel hoodie and black leggings

Do you need a Mother’s Day outfit idea that’s more laid back while still looking somewhat put together? Dig out that pastel hoodie from your closet and pair it with some black leggings! It’s perfect for a coffee shop get together or putting on what’s most cozy after a wonderful Mother’s Day breakfast in bed. It is your special day, after all, so don’t go dressy if you don’t want to.

10. Choose your favorite oversized sweater

An oversized sweater really dominates the look of any outfit you add it to. So celebrate that with a bottom that won’t distract too hard, like leggings or a mini skirt. Alternatively, a pair of jeans or wide pants to go with an oversized sweater is just the thing if it’s just too chilly on Mother’s Day for uncovered legs.

11. Add a touch of flair with a floral bandana

A floral bandana feels more relaxed than a floral headband. It’s also easy to wear as a scarf or you can even tie it to your wrist or waist for a touch of flair, depending on the length.

12. Party in wide leg pants and a graphic t-shirt

Remind everyone your party spirit is still intact with a pair of wide leg pants and a graphic t-shirt. That might be a t-shirt of your favorite rock band, an awesome classic video game, or something else. As for the wide pants, solid colors will keep from contrasting too hard with the t-shirt. Unless you want that, of course!

13. Head to brunch with a cozy neutral color cardigan

A nice cardigan has a classy brunch party look that’s just the thing for any of your Mothers Day outfit ideas! The color choice is yours but we’re big fans of neutral colors. A tan, black, white, or cream cardigan can be worked into almost any outfit with ease.

14. Try a denim jacket and black dress

The stunning bright blue of a denim jacket really shines against a black dress. Since black is such a great neutral color, you can choose denim of any shade against it, even white or tan. Plus, you likely already have both of these in your wardrobe already, making it a simple Mother’s Day outfit idea to put together.

15. Choose mauve and green for a spring-themed outfit

You have a few options when choosing a color scheme that reminds folks of spring. Mauve and purple are an award-winning combo that will bring spring blossoms to life through your attire. You could go with a mauve scarf and jacket paired with olive green pants if Mother’s Day is a bit chilly, for example!

16. Go for a knit top and jeans 

A knit top often has just the right amount of color to pair with your favorite blue jeans. We prefer a patterned knit top; faded blue stripes, checks, or spring-colored pastel squares are a few ways you can bring this outfit idea to life! Solid colors work just as well, however.

17. Brighten up your outfit with a floral print cardigan

If neutral colors feel a bit too “blah” for your personal style, then pick up a floral print cardigan instead! It’s just as cozy yet has way more color to work with. A pair of blue jeans or a black mini skirt are two of our favorite bottoms since the solid colors work well with the vibrant floral patterns.

18. Finish you look with white framed sunglasses

White framed sunglasses are one of our most stylish Mothers Day outfit ideas. Being a neutral color, white goes with just about everything, so you can work a pair of white sunglasses into almost any outfit.

19. Keep the weather at bay with a long trench coat

If spring showers or light snow are going to impede your trip to the brunch party, then start your outfit out with a stylish trench coat. Neutral colors work best here so use a tan or black trench coat that will keep the rain off your jumpsuit, leggings, blouse, or other equally fashionable choices!

20. Get some sun with a one-piece swimsuit

Will your Mother’s Day party include some time to swim at the beach or in the backyard pool? Come prepared with a one-piece swimsuit! Solid colors and patterns are both options here, with patterns like floral print adding a bit more flash poolside.

Does a Mother’s Day pool party sound amazing, but you don’t have a pool handy? Book a venue with a pool for the day through Peerspace then! We have venues like this resort-style home in Las Vegas, NV, with a pool and space for up to 50 quests.

21. Keep everything organized with a satchel bag

A satchel bag isn’t just functional; it adds to your outfit with a bit of color or fashion accents, depending on the style. A leather satchel is a classy addition to a brunch outfit while a straw satchel is just the thing for storing your beach outfit accessories.

22. Dress for an active day with a jacket and jeans

Do you have a lot planned for the day and need more flexible Mothers Day outfit ideas? Jeans and a jacket are a marvelous look. Add a splash of color with a silk scarf and a top with cute patterns or keep it simpler with a classic white t-shirt under the jacket.

23. Go for an all-pastel look 

You can go beyond mauve and green to embrace all pastel shades as a springtime Mother’s Day look! That might mean a pastel sweater and midi dress, a knit top with light green and purple paired together, a pair of light-yellow pants, or something else you like. Add a bit of white in the form of sunglasses, shoes, and a tote bag for a slightly different hue that still works with the rest of your outfit.
