When it comes to mom-friendly warm weather wardrobes, simplicity is the name of the game. After all, decision fatigue is real, and by the time you’ve taken care of everyone else in the morning, you might only have a whopping three minutes to get yourself ready and out the door. Factor in the rising temps and the need for cool and comfortable options is 100% necessary. The answer? Summer rompers.

Ok. Pause. I will acknowledge that rompers have been a longstanding closet staple of the baby and toddler community. But listen. Summer rompers for women are not only acceptable, they’re downright perfect. I mean, one singular piece of clothing that’s an entire outfit? One that also allows you to chase after small children and sit on the floor without flashing your underwear to everyone around? A dress could never.

Pregnant or postpartum? You could rock some maternity overalls for a similar vibe but there are plenty of bump and belly-friendly options that aren’t even true maternity clothes. (Smash + Tess styles are famously versatile!)

They’re also the ideal clothing for travel. Just pull it on, throw on a layer and you’re comfy all day long. And for vacation itself? Nothing is easier to pack. On a recent trip to Belize, I realized I’d packed four. For FIVE DAYS.

I’ve taken great pleasure in rounding up some of my personal favorites, in both long and short styles to freshen your spring and summer wardrobe. Now what to do with all that extra time? Stand around and look stylish, I suppose.

Laid back and comfy but still errand-ready, there’s a reason the Saturday Romper from Smash + Tess is one of their all-time best-sellers. I love the fit which is loose in the torso (a lifesaver for those days you feel bloated) with a tapered leg that’s cropped just above the ankle. As a short gal, I appreciate that it fits perfectly without the need for hemming and looks so cute with fresh kicks!
