Whether you want to feel comfortable and put together on the sidelines cheering for your kid, or are simply looking for a way to epitomize cool mom casual dress for your own extracurricular activities, we made this guide to help with your next great casual outfit idea, Meira Muses. There's something about soccer mom style that makes for good outfit inspo. Mom or not, this guide is meant to be an easy reference for nailing the perfect soccer mom outfit whether or not you're actually headed to a soccer field today. If you're not you get to keep your midsize SUV (the minivan life is optional), but your new fave fit is waiting.
Cute Soccer Mom Outfit Ideas Head to Toe:
1. Chic and Sleek Soccer Mom (with lots of pockets)
For those of us who can never have enough great pockets in clothing this next outfit may be your new uniform. This is soccer mom style in chic and functional activewear. Meira Active's New Hoodie Cardigan with Zip Pockets has a nice wide hood which can really come in handy on a field with blocking out moisture or UV rays (as the fabric does have UV protection), and we adore the two large zip pockets for keeping loose items safe. Pair this outerwear piece with what are truly one of the best leggings for Moms - the Smooth Duo® Best Pocket Legging with Built-in Underwear, and you've got all the pockets you'll need for game day or any other day. Wearing a top with a pop of your team's color underneath the cardigan adds a nice touch!

2. Not a Regular Soccer Mom, I'm a Cool Soccer Mom
Sometimes layers are so needed on or off the field and a look like this one gives you options! A ribbed knit top or tee, zip up hoodie, great all around black leggings like Smooth Duo Leggings with Built-in Underwear and sleek leather jacket (I've had this one for over a decade) works for showing up to activities, running errands, and even meeting up for casual lunch all in the same morning. Adding elevated pieces like a leather jacket into your weekend wardrobe gives an otherwise casual look more versatility and is a nice departure from a more expected rotation of other comfy soccer mom outfits. If it's too much just leave it in the car and throw it on afterwards for life throughout the rest of the day. Great for layering on other casual outfits in the case of school visits, too.
3. Fall Weather to All Weather
Black leggings are for sure among game day staples for sideline fans, and we're going to tell you these Meira Active Leggings with Built-in Underwear are relationshipgoals (with the free shipping, returns and exchanges you can't go wrong). Wear with a favorite soft flannel shirt in a color that makes you smile and wear tied or loose (we love Faherty Brand shirts). Layer up to make this look all weather conducive by having a short sleeve tee or tank top underneath you wouldn't mind wearing on its own and top off the look with a puffer vest. With a color coordinating athletic sneaker this look is perfect for staying comfortable on the field.
4. Adding Accessories
Don't always knock the original casual outfit - leggings and a hoodie, but why not elevate the look? Adding a pair of quintessential black leather riding boots and a good pair of sunglasses is a pretty fool proof way to chic-ify just about any black leggings outfit. Major Bonus: These Leggings are meant to show zero panty lines and keep you comfortable all day
5. Grey with a Color Pop
Athleisure wear is more than acceptable dress for soccer moms and an all grey outfit with color pop is always fun. Since you're not the one on the field, accessories (like jewelry) are too if you like to add something shiny. For a low lift morning we love a grey/ neutral palette for a sweatshirt with leggings look but adding accessories makes things more interesting. Simple styles like hoop earrings or a simple neck chain make for complimentary bling by adding just a little shine to your casual look and don't be afraid to add fun fashion sneakers (love a neon color pop here)!
6. Classic Mom Comfy Denim
We love ourselves yoga pants and a t-shirt, but they don't have to be your go-to every Saturday morning if you don't want them to be. A great way to mix it up and still dress for comfort while you take way too many videos of your kid from the sideline is to trade this look for a pair of boyfriend style jeans (or mom jean shorts), a warm sweater (cotton knit is a great choice for breathability when things get heated), sneakers and a casual tote bag for all the snacks and game day items. This one is a go-to basic among #momoutfits #mumoutfits but you can count on it.

7. Collegiate Cool Mom
Pair your favorite pair of jeans back to a rugby style shirt (I have one from my almer mater from my college days which I still love for the high-quality fabrics). Different weights and sleeve lengths in a rugby top can accomodate a variety of weather conditions. Slide on comfortable shoes like Vans or Birdies. Hats are practical but for sure can add to the overall look of being at a soccer game while keeping hair from flying on a windy day.
8. School Spirit
Somewhere between the extremes of a crop top with denim shorts and a maxi dress (we've seen some of the guides out there) lies the school attire soccer mom. She's cool, she's chic, but has spirit. Long to midi length denim skirt with the team t-shirt for your favorite team. CUTE or what? Every local soccer mom will be asking you for style tips.
9. Look at Me!
Ladies this next outfit is for when you want to be spotted on the field. Bright sweaters like this one strike a fun contrast to your essential cropped black legging and are a great option if you need your kids to find you in a crowd. Having wake up beverages in tow can be a great first step to waking up early but we don't underestimate the power of color to put a spring in our step. Add that belt bag, sling or fanny pack and you're good to go.
10. Bike shorts Mom
A little balmy out? Bike shorts are a nice way to stay comfortable and cool. Pair with a tank top and long length denim button down top worn open or denim jacket and you've got one of the best soccer mom outfits for both comfort and practicality.
