There’s no denying that New York City is one of the world’s most stylish cities. Whether enduring a blizzard or a humid summer, chic dressers are always out, taking the long way home just to show off their curated looks. While everyone from style-conscious college students to seasoned executives knows how to turn heads with their outfits, there’s one particularly stylish group that always commands attention but often doesn’t get the recognition it deserves: New York City mothers.
These women possess an effortless, practical glamour that comes from navigating the demanding, fast-paced lifestyle of motherhood. Emphasizing the functional aspect, especially during the day when they’re heading to early-morning boutique fitness classes, dropping kids off at school, going on coffee dates with friends, and running errands. Their wardrobe needs to match this lifestyle, and one item they all share and matches their on-the-go energy is sneakers. From designer styles to affordable options, NYC moms love a sneaker moment, and their favorites are always changing based on current trends and the season.
With warm weather top of mind, I thought it would be helpful to look at some of the city’s best-dressed moms to see what sneaker trends they’re embracing and will continue to wear from now through the summer. That said, keep scrolling to discover the five styles that can be spotted everywhere, from Butterfield Market on the Upper East Side to Tracy Anderson in Tribeca, right now.
Suede Sneakers
Suede is often linked to fall or winter, but NYC moms are showing it’s perfect for spring too, especially in the form of sneakers—and we’re on board. Suede sneakers, often sleek and low-profile, add a rich touch to any outfit. While Miu Miu‘s Plume sneakers are the It style, brands like Everlane, Adidas, and Aritzia, in collaboration with Sperry, have recently released suede sneakers that offer an elegant, designer look without the high price tag.
