Can we all collectively agree that the official uniform of motherhood is activewear? Between chasing kids, running errands, and trying to squeeze in a morning coffee before it goes completely cold, comfort is absolutely non-negotiable. But actually looking put-together while doing it? That’s the ultimate goal.
With the long weekend just around the corner, I’ve been hunting for casual Memorial Day outfit ideas that scream “summer is here” without sacrificing an ounce of comfort. If your holiday plans look less like a formal party and more like backyard grilling, playground trips, or neighborhood block parties, I found the absolute cutest outfit at Target that you are going to live in all season long.
Meet My Summer Uniform: Target’s JoyLab Set
I was browsing the activewear section at Target last week (my favorite solo mom escape, let’s be honest) and completely fell in love with the Target JoyLab activewear line. They have totally nailed the balance of high-performance fabrics and everyday chic style. I put together a matching set that makes for the perfect, laid-back mom everyday style.
The Shorts: Women’s Pleated Side Woven Shorts
The Fit: They feature a high rise with a beautiful wide waistband that holds you in comfortably. It gives a clean, flattering shape without digging in while you’re bending down to pick up toys.
The Detail: The pleated sides give them a distinct, trendy flair that sets them apart from basic running shorts. Plus, they have side pockets, because a mom always needs a place to stash an extra hair tie or a rogue snack wrapper.
The Top: Seamless Support Tank Top
The Fit: A perfect cropped length that pairs seamlessly with the high-rise shorts, showing just a tiny hint of skin without feeling overly exposed.
The Style: Features a flattering rounded square neckline and comfy, supportive straps with a beautiful crisscross back detail that adds a little extra style to a simple look.
Finishing the Look: The Perfect Sneakers
To pull this whole look together for a classic holiday vibe, I paired the set with my current favorites: the Nike Air Max Excee in a gorgeous gray and navy colorway.
The touch of navy gives a perfect, subtle nod to the weekend’s patriotic theme without being over-the-top, and the gray keeps the whole look grounded, neutral, and so easy to style with other pieces in your closet.
