My mom has great style year-round, but I personally think the summer is when her outfits really shine. That’s why, as I embrace the warm weather, I obviously had to give her a call to ask what’s on her summer shopping wishlist.
As always, her picks didn’t disappoint. She’s currently coveting denim dresses, white jeans, maxi dresses, and colorful sandals—a.k.a the perfect pieces for a classic yet functional summer wardrobe. To get some fashion inspo of your own, check out the mom-approved styles, below.

Perfect for backyard barbeque season, denim dresses are the number one item on my mom’s summer wishlist. While I never would have thought to shop this style on my own, I now totally see why she’s a fan. If you’re bored of rotating through the same few sundresses, adding a denim one to your collection is an easy way to mix things up. This boxy Madewell style would be ideal for wearing to the office or out to dinner, while this more casual Free People frock is great for picnic days.

Along with flowy dresses and flip-flops, white jeans are a quintessential summer style. My mom is on the hunt for her next go-to pair, so I sent her these high-rise jeans from Gloria Vanderbilt. The pair features a tapered leg and is made of 98 percent cotton with a hint of stretch. Equally as chic is this baggier pair, which is perfect for those who, like myself, prefer a looser fit.

Admittedly, I’m not much of a color person; 95 percent of my shoe collection is black. Still, my mom has sold me on colorful sandals, which she insists are a must for summer. Given their sleek design and eye-catching hue, these orange slides are totally right up her alley. Since the pair is only $28 on Amazon, it’s worth snagging one of its other 21 other shades, too.
