Make Your Mother’s Day: The Ultimate Gift Guide for the Trendy (Cool) Mom

You know the line: “I’m not a regular mom, I’m a cool mom.”
This Mother’s Day, it’s time to own that energy … and treat yourself to pieces that make you feel seen, stylish, and supported in the life you’re living. Whether you live in activewear or love a good streetwear moment, I put together this gift guide with you in mind - from one mother to another. Sport Chek has always been my go-to - for my kids, yes, but let’s be honest, I always find something for myself too. And this year? You deserve something for YOU.

Look 1: The Effortless Trendy Mom

Let’s start with the outfit that gets the most wear in my closet—the “I’m running errands but still feel pulled together” look. From walking the kids to school to sitting at the cafe to do emails, this one’s for you. 

  • Nike Fleece Sweat Set
    It’s oversized in the best way - cozy, elevated, and effortlessly cool. Even my almost-teen daughter wants to borrow this set!

  • New Balance 530 Sneakers
    These give that retro-sporty vibe that works with everything. I reach for mine constantly. You will not regret owning a pair, I promise.

🖤 Why you’ll love it: You’ll feel cute and comfortable - without sacrificing either.

Look 2: The Active, Streetwear Mom

This one’s for when you’re doing school drop-off, squeezing in a pilates class and still meeting a friend for brunch - all before noon.

  • Adidas Sports Bra
    Supportive enough for movement, cute enough to show off.

  • FWD Bike Shorts
    These are so flattering and hold everything in the right place.

  • Adidas Gazelle Sneakers
    The pop of red gives this outfit that bold-but-wearable feel. Trust me, you will be getting SO much wear out of these this upcoming summer.

  • Reebok Oversized Fleece Sweater
    Draped over your shoulders or wear it as is for that effortless, cool-mom touch.

  • Adidas Tote Bag
    Toss in your water bottle, sunglasses, snacks, or even your kid’s random toy collection - it fits everything.

🖤 Why you’ll love it: You’ll feel like you - comfortable, confident, and current.

Want to Level It Up?

Depending on your vibe, here’s how to make each outfit fit your lifestyle:

  • The Active Mom - You love getting in your 10K steps and lunch time workouts! Swap your kicks for the HOKA Women's Rincon 4 Running Shoes. They’re super cushioned and feel like a hug for your feet.

  • The Sporty Mom - You’re always in motion … from pickleball during the week to kids’ soccer tournaments on the weekend!Go for the On Cloudrunner 2 Running Shoes. Sleek, lightweight, and supportive. I love Ons because they’re made for movement with zero compromise on style.
