Being a Mum is a full-time job, and when Half-Term rolls around, it can feel like you have even less time to focus on yourself. With a few key tips and tricks, you can dress comfortably and bang on trend to make sure you're all set to embrace the chaos with your little ones this half-term 🖤 So if you're stuck on what to do this half term with the kids and need to pull together an outfit with 5 minutes to get out the door, we're here to help! Don't end up feeling uncomfortable or avoiding photos that capture memories - instead, choose outfit building pieces you can trust are made to make you feel good.

1. Create a Capsule Wardrobe

Investing in some premium staples will save you so much time on those rushed mornings when you're trying to get everyone out the door on time. Timeless pieces that can be mixed and matched to create a variety of outfits will be your best friends. A great pair of jeans, a leather jacket, your favourite trainers, and a few quality t-shirts or bodysuits will be the true morning hero's. These pieces will form the foundation of your wardrobe and make getting dressed in the morning a breeze. All of our ELR Bodysuits are made from premium material with a shapewear feel and made to make you feel good! Whether you prefer long sleeves, a high neck, zip detail or a t-shirt style, we have got you covered! All made in our iconic double layered material to give you the most gorgeous natural silhouette and embrace your curves.

2. Choose Comfortable and Practical Pieces

When you're running around after little ones, comfort and practicality are key. Opt for clothes made from premium materials that are soft and breathable. Look for pieces that are easy to move in and can withstand the demands of crawling around soft play or entertaining at the park. Investing in pieces that are specifically designed for your lifestyle will build the foundation of your wardrobe and make getting dressed each morning a breeze! Our Premium ELR Hoodie made from luxury, structured material is perfect for throwing on and feeling put together 🖤 We love to team it with our comfiest leggings, a good pair of jeans or some trusty cycling shorts on those slightly warmer days.

3. Add Stylish Accessories

Just because you're toddler might not appreciate the finishing touches, doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style. Don't let anyone tell you that Play Area isn't a fashion show! A pair of gold earrings, a chunky scarf, or your handbag of dreams can instantly elevate your look and make you feel put together and more like you 🖤 Not forgetting the trusty sunglasses to hide those under eye bags after a long night with the little ones (trust me...I've been there, twice!)

4. Embrace Winter Sun

If you're lucky enough to be enjoying a holiday during half term, embrace the sun for the rest of us facing the chilly UK weather! Opt for versatile pieces that can be easily mixed and matched, so you can create different outfits throughout your holiday. Our Scoop Neck, Joy Bodysuit available in a variety of colours is the perfect holiday wardrobe addition that you'll wear over and over again. Made from our iconic, double layered fabric it sculpts your natural body shape and gives you that smooth, shapewear feel.

Our High waisted, anti-chafe Lucy shorts are another holiday favourite. They're floaty, bloat friendly fit means you can enjoy yourself like you deserve all holiday without worrying about the dreaded chub-rub! Perfect to take you from day to night whether you're round the pool, out for dinner or strolling the local tourist spots, they're an  ELR Office Fave! We love to wear them with tights in  the UK during the winter months too 🖤

5. Don't Forget the Coffee Run Outfit

If you ask me, the most important outing of all! You've earnt that Vanilla Oat Latte, Mama. Our Ribbed Lauren T-shirt is made from the softest, buttery material that sculpts to your natural shape and doesn't ride up. The stretchy material is serving ultimate comfort - it's a wardrobe staple and the perfect base layer for any coffee run outfit ☕
