Chic parents from Tokyo to Paris showcase their effective everyday outfits.

      What Moms Wear showcases the outfits, styles, and dressing routines of fashionable mothers in stylish cities globally. From school drop-offs to work attire and moms' night outings, we feature trendsetting women with young children and exciting careers, sharing their favorite places, activities, and wardrobe choices within their cities. As the mom waiting for school pick-up, I often find myself observing what other parents are wearing. Perhaps it's the fashion editor in me, but I’ve always been intrigued by the brands and styles that busy parents (both moms and dads!) tend to choose. What's particularly fascinating is how our wardrobe choices vary based on our location and professions. While ALO leggings, Donni pants, and Birkenstock clogs are popular at my kids' school in Santa Monica, I suspect that the brands and personal style preferences at school drop-off in cities like Madrid or Tokyo are quite distinct. This curiosity has driven the creation of our new series, What Moms Wear. Each month, we'll feature fashionable mothers in different locales who have intriguing jobs—both in fashion and beyond—as they share their dressing habits and provide us with insights into their favorite spots around their cities. This includes their favorite post-drop-off coffee shops, fun activities with their kids, or preferred date-night locations—all aimed at inspiring you with exceptional parents, places, and outfits.

      To debut our newly launched Parents Issue, I'm thrilled to highlight four incredibly stylish moms from L.A., London, Paris, and Tokyo—who I have long admired for their chic wardrobes and impressive careers. Keep reading to meet these amazing moms and check out their city recommendations below.

      Pia Baroncini is the quintessential multitasking mom. She serves as the creative director of LPA, a fashion brand available at Revolve and Fwrd; the CMO of Ghiaia Cashmere; the co-founder of Baroncini Import & Co. with her husband, Davide; and the host of the Everything Is the Best podcast, where she discusses various topics from perimenopause to astrology, gut health to traveling with kids. Whether she’s in a silky lace dress with the Dôen sisters in Paris, sharing a personal story during her skincare routine, or hosting a beautiful dinner party in her enchanting 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 adore a baby-doll Dôen dress for a date night with Davide at Houston's. It's our go-to spot."

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

      "For drop-off, I love a large Ralph Lauren polo top; it’s an outfit I can throw on without much thought."

      "I recently hosted a dinner with Goop Kitchen, and everyone showed up in LPA—it was an absolutely wonderful evening."

      Monica Ainley de La Villardière is a Canadian fashion journalist, broadcaster, and content creator based in Paris. Her clever and thoughtful substack, Mon Review, is essential reading, covering current trends, fashion week, stylish outfits, travel, interviews, and style tips while offering insider insights on Paris—from parenting myths to where local French girls love to dine. Her Instagram, @monicaainleydlv, is a guide to effortlessly chic fashion and a great place to discover exciting brands. And let’s not forget she has some of the best Instagram captions out there. She lives in Paris with her two kids and husband.

      "During the busy month of September, I’m out and about at meetings and fashion presentations in my Polo Ralph Lauren Canadian tuxedo and tie—my take on workwear! For lunch, I frequently visit Bar de La Croix Rouge in my neighborhood, the 6th, where I always order the Tartine St-Germain with a side of lentil salad."

      "At home preparing for a night out, I naturally pair socks with my Emme Parsons shoes for warmth when it gets cooler, and comfort while dancing! (I’m in a dress from Mango). We often enjoy cocktails at the Experimental Hotel in the Marais as they make excellent martinis, followed by dinner at their restaurant, Temple & Chapon, if we’re feeling extravagant."

      "This is my drop-off look when I head straight to work afterward. It’s relaxed J.Crew jeans and a Matteau T-shirt, but I’ll top it with a Camilla and Marc trench and a laptop-friendly Le Tanneur bag to elevate the ensemble. If I have time to change between drop-off and work, I might switch it out with a casual jacket or vintage sweatshirt and likely slide on Alohas sneakers. I always grab a cappuccino from my go-to coffee spot, Café Nuances, after drop-off. For great sit-down coffee, I recommend Ten Belles on rue
