As a fashion editor, I aim to please. When I wrote a story last fall about an exceptionally well-dressed Parisian mom of three, you readers lapped it up, so I tapped her again for a spring-focused story. Elisabete Bento may not have quite the Instagram following as her influencer daughters Salomé and Tamara Mory, but her style is undoubtedly just as strong
I asked Elisabete about the spring and summer trends she borrows from her daughters, and she came up with a handful of stylish, wearable, and French-approved recommendations. One look at the trio's Instagram pages and you can tell that they share clothes often, proving that their favorite pieces are great for any generation. Scroll down to read and shop her top warm-weather trends.
Lilac
"Lilac is so perfect for spring," Elisabete told me. "When it’s still a bit cold but I feel like wearing spring colors, I just put on a lilac sweater and a pair of light blue jeans. The perfect color match. Makes me feel warm but not wintery and makes me smile."
Floral Midi and Maxi Dresses
"The three of us have almost the entire collection from Réalisation Par, our favorite brand. But also love Rouje and Faithful the Brand."
Flat Mules
"Flat suede mules from Staud or Manolo Blahnik are the perfect accessory for a cool, chic outfit. Flat mules have adapted to our new quarantine way of life and match absolutely everything, from denim shorts to midi skirts."
Jumpsuits
"I love to put on a one-piece outfit that immediately gives you great strong style. Just add a nice bag and shoes and that’s it! Love the one from Posse, which I stole from Salomé."
