Summer holidays are in full swing and whether you have some of your own or you're just a doting aunty that means lots more kids days out.
Female First have put together the perfect practical outfit to have you looking like a totally yummy mummy whether you're off to the zoo or for a picnic in the park.
Comfort is important for a busy day entertaining children but if it's older kids you're looking after then you still need a bit of cool factor if you want their respect.
Batman Logo Tee, Topshop, £18
Fun comic book tshirts are great for getting into that children's TV presenter mood and we love this Batman logo print tee from Topshop. Not only will you earn muchos kudos for getting with the theme of this summer's smash hit movie but it also channels Luella's superhero inspired spring/summer catwalk collection.
Pleated Jacket, Warehouse, £55
A fun tshirt has the danger of making you look a little immature so a casual blazer jacket is perfect for adding a grown up touch- after all if you're single you have to be prepared to impress those dishy daddies you might bump into.
Bootleg Jeans, River Island. £39.99
Bootleg jeans are the new skinny legs and are also super comfy- ideal for chasing a football round a park without worrying about splitting the bum seam.
Converse Hi Top, Schuh, £34.99
Keeping comfort in mind- footwear is also an important factor. You want be much use in catching a runaway child if you're wearing sky scraper heels. Converse Hi-Tops are retro cool and totally practical.
Mischa Barton Opheilia, Debenhams, £65
A big bag is absolutely essential for keeping all those baby wipes, juice cartons and spare clothes to hand. This Mischa Barton tote is a great size and also looks fab!
Check Scarf, New Look, £8
Finally for accesories...a scarf is the perfect way to add a trendy touch to any outfit and is also practical too. This checked one from New Look is bang on the winter trend and is also handy for mopping up any unexpected spillages.
