In the whirlwind of new parenthood, one thing that often takes a backseat for many new mums is personal style. Adjusting to the demands of a newborn can leave little time or energy for anything beyond the essentials. However, style doesn’t have to be sacrificed—it can be seamlessly integrated into your new routine, starting with the right choices in baby products, especially when it comes to prams.
These days the style and colour of your pram is just as important as functionality. And why wouldn’t it be, it’s a way for new parents to express themselves and their style as they navigate parenthood.
Balancing Style and Motherhood
At Baby Village, we understand the importance of choosing baby products that complement your lifestyle while maintaining a sense of personal flair. Bugaboo recently had the opportunity to sit down with Fashion Stylist & Consultant and Mum of 2, Jess Pecoraro, whose clientele includes some of the most discerning celebrity moms like Jackie O, Georgia Fowler, and Jesinta Franklin to name a few.
Jess shared that one of the challenges she finds many Mums face post-baby is primarily centered around time management and reclaiming their sense of style in their new bodies. "Time is a constant challenge," but she explains that becoming comfortable in your new body is really powerful and she encourages new mums "to be more adventurous with their style and really owning that."
Rediscovering Style after Baby
When asked about tips for new mums rediscovering their style, Jess emphasizes simplicity and versatility. "Investing in staple pieces is a great place to start", she continues, "a neutral colour palette helps when you’re time-deprived, and also means that everything can be easily styled together.” which is why she loves Bugaboo’s Desert Taupe range.
“Desert Taupe is an easy but beautiful neutral that goes with everything.”
Jess’ Style Time Saver Tips for New Mums

- Quality over Quantity:Prioritise quality over quantity, even when it comes to baby products – a Bugaboo pram will be a forever investment.

As Pecoraro reflects on her own journey as a mum, she acknowledges the initial challenges of styling her new post-baby body while trying to manage her time, however she explains that once she "streamlined her wardrobe and really worked on what pieces worked and what didn’t, styling herself started to become a fun and enjoyable part of her daily routine."
