As Mother’s Day approaches, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the cherished women in our lives with a touch of luxury. This season, the latest trend in high-end gifts for mom revolves around not just elegance, but meaningful indulgence. And while “indulgence” can mean different things to different moms, our Stylist, Kimmie Sussman, has built out a handful of inclusive-yet-targeted personas that promise surprise and delight even the most discerning matriarch. From practical opulence for the brand-new mom, to the career caretaker who splits time in the boardroom and the pickup line, the athletic mom squeezing in pilates and steps where and when she can, and the moms who stay on-trend and glammed-up despite the siren song of comfy yoga pants – this guide has every mom in your life covered.
