What’s your school mum style - take our fun interactive quiz to find out

GLAM GODDESS

YOU love the process of getting ready in the mornings, who cares if it’s just for the school run?

Your appearance is important to you. You don’t want to lose who you are just because you happen to be a mum.

You enjoy making a statement and standing out from the crowd. You get lots of compliments on your looks and your friends are often envious of your striking style.

“Look great and feel great” is your mantra. You don’t want to judge, but you simply can’t understand why other mums would do the school run in PJs.

CITY SLICKER

YOUR life is busy and the last thing you have time for in the mornings is deciding what to wear.

That’s why you’ve chosen a series of classic, tailored outfits you can always rely on to give you the smart, professional look.

On days when you don’t feel you have life under control, putting on your office clothes immediately makes you feel more in charge.

The structure of the clothes improves your posture, which makes you stand straighter, walk with confidence and feel like you can conquer the world.

SMART CASUAL

A SIMPLE T-shirt and jeans is your go-to uniform.

You prefer casual clothing to formal business wear, but you hate a scruffy or busy look – simple lines are more you.

In keeping with your no-fuss attitude, your clothes must be easy-care and ideally non-iron. Life’s too short.

Sometimes you feel a bit bored by your wardrobe, but you take comfort in the fact you look presentable enough.

After all, it’s the school run, not a Paris fashion show.

QUEEN OF COMFORT

YOU don’t like to stand out from the crowd – in fact some days you wish you could wear an invisibility cloak.

You’ve got nice clothes in your wardrobe, but never seem to wear them any more. An oversized hoodie and leggings is so much easier.

You’d like to regain your style confidence, but you’re not sure where to start.

Feeling comfortable in your clothes is the most important factor for you when choosing what to wear.

Anything which constricts, digs in or pinches is not an option.

STRAIGHT OUT OF BED

YOU know some people will cast judgment on your school run attire, but if you want to wear your pyjamas, you will.

You don’t care, so why should anyone else?

Your priority is getting your children through the school gates on time.

What’s in fashion really isn’t important to you, you just don’t have the energy or interest in trying to keep up with the Joneses.

You prefer to do life your way and let others do as they please.

GYM BUNNY

WHILE your appearance is important to you, you’re simply not interested in school gate glam and competing with the other mums there.

You don’t want to fuss around with hair and make-up early in the morning, you just want to crack on with your day.

You pull on your gym wear each morning because it’s comfortable first and foremost.

OK, so you don’t always head to the gym straight from the school run, but nobody else needs to know that.
