Chic Parents from Tokyo to Paris Reveal Their Effective Daily Outfits

      What Moms Wear showcases the outfits, style, and dressing routines of fashionable mothers in the most stylish cities worldwide. From dropping off kids at school to dressing for work and enjoying a night out, we highlight trendy women—balancing young children and impressive careers—and explore their favorite destinations, activities, and outfits in their cities. As the mom who notices what other parents wear during school pickups, my background as a fashion editor has fueled my curiosity about the brands, style choices, and aesthetics that busy parents (both mothers and fathers!) are drawn to. I find it intriguing how our clothing styles vary based on our location and profession. For instance, while ALO leggings, Donni pants, and Birkenstock clogs are prevalent at my children's school in Santa Monica, I suspect that the preferred brands and clothing choices during school drop-off in cities like Madrid or Tokyo are quite different. This curiosity led to the creation of our new series, What Moms Wear. Each month, we'll feature fashionable mothers from various cities with exciting careers—both in fashion and other fields—as they discuss their dressing philosophies and share insider insights about their favorite local spots. From coffee shops they frequent after school drop-offs to enjoyable activities with their kids or their favorite date night destinations, this series aims to inspire through remarkable parents, locations, and outfits.

      To kick off our newly launched Parents Issue today, I'm thrilled to present four exceptionally stylish moms from Los Angeles, London, Paris, and Tokyo—women I’ve admired for a long time, each with impressive jobs and inspiring styles. Read on to discover more about these incredible moms and their local recommendations.

      Pia Baroncini is the quintessential multitasking mom. She serves as the creative director of LPA, a fashion brand sold at Revolve and Fwrd; the CMO of Ghiaia Cashmere; a co-founder of Baroncini Import & Co. alongside her husband, Davide; and the host of the Everything Is the Best podcast (where she discusses topics from perimenopause to astrology, gut health to traveling with children). Whether she’s donning a silky lace dress alongside the Dôen sisters in Paris, sharing candid personal stories during her skincare routine at home, or hosting a glamorous dinner party in her stunning backyard, her Instagram, @piaboroncini, is a joy to follow. She resides in her childhood home in Pasadena, California, with her two children and husband.

      "I love wearing a baby-doll Dôen dress for date night with Davide at Houston's. We don't visit anywhere else."

      Polo Ralph Lauren Fringe Jacket

      "I’m seen here in vintage Levi's and my LPA top for a podcast recording. Since that’s in West Hollywood, I’ll try to squeeze in a work lunch too, either at Cipriani or I’ll grab a chicken Caesar wrap from Ggiata."

      Chanel Interlocking Cc Logo Flats

      Levi's 501 '90s Straight Leg Jeans

      "I enjoy throwing on an oversized Ralph Lauren polo shirt for drop-off. It’s typically an outfit I can just grab without mulling over."

      POLO RALPH LAUREN Striped Polo Shirt

      repetto Ballerines Camille

      "I recently hosted a dinner with Goop Kitchen, and everyone turned up in LPA—what a perfect evening it was."

      Monica Ainley de La Villardière is a Canadian fashion journalist, broadcaster, and content creator based in Paris. Her engaging and humorous Substack, Mon Review, is essential reading, covering contemporary trends, fashion weeks, inspiring outfits, travels, interviews, and styling advice, along with her insider tips on Paris—from dispelling parenting myths to recommending where real French girls dine and socialize. Her Instagram, @monicaainleydlv, offers a masterclass in chic dressing with a twist and is a fantastic source for discovering cutting-edge brands. Plus, her Instagram captions are among the best out there. She lives in Paris with her two children and husband.

      "As I’m out attending meetings and fashion presentations during the bustling month of September in Paris, I opt for a Polo Ralph Lauren Canadian tuxedo and tie—my take on workwear! For lunch, I frequent my local 'canteen,' Bar de La Croix Rouge, situated in the 6th, where I always order the Tartine St-Germain alongside a lentil salad."

      Polo Ralph Lauren Embroidered Denim Shirt

      Polo Ralph Lauren Tartan Wool Tie

      Polo Ralph Lauren High-Rise Straight-Leg Jeans

      "Here’s me at home preparing for an evening out. Naturally, I wear socks with my Emme Parsons shoes—crucial for warmth when the nights turn chilly—and for comfort while dancing! (My dress is from Mango). We enjoy cocktails at Experimental Hotel in the Marais, known for their excellent martinis, and then dinner at their restaurant Temple & Chapon if we decide to indulge."
