Ever since internet personality Tinx explained the “rich-mom” phenomenon, women everywhere have been stocking their closets full of quiet luxury staples and designer accessories to get the look. Regardless of the name, the rich-mom aesthetic doesn’t require you to have kids or even a lot of money. It’s just looking like you do that matters. After all, dress for the job you want, not the job you have. It’s about finding elevated, elegant, polished, and chic pieces. It’s dressing like your schedule is full of plans reading “Tracey Anderson class in the morning” and “Frenchette for dinner.”
Nordstrom is stocked with items that nail the aesthetic, so I rounded up 31 of them that I would wear in a heartbeat. Keep scrolling to see which 31 pieces ooze rich-mom energy.
