Leisure wear - The Mum-iform Makeover: Off-Duty Style for Busy Women on the Run

Let’s be real. Between drop-offs, coffee runs, work Zooms, laundry that multiplies like rabbits, and that mysterious smell in the car, fashion can feel like a distant memory. If your current "mum-iform" is starting to look like it belongs in a witness protection program, it’s time for a wardrobe refresh. And no, we’re not talking about shapeless tees and leggings you’ve had since 2012.

At Elysian Collective, we believe comfort and style can actually co-exist — and we’ve got the outfits to prove it. Our new arrivals from Araminta James, Neue Denim, and Ena Pelly are perfect for women who need to go from the school gate to a spontaneous brunch and still feel like themselves.

Here’s how to nail off-duty chic (with minimal effort and maximum comfort).

1. Araminta James: Leisurewear That Works Overtime

Whether you're navigating a packed schedule or enjoying a relaxed weekend with pilates or coffee, Araminta James offers pieces that combine comfort with effortless style.

• 1982 Contrast Knit Sweater (espresso): This is your new statement sweatshirt. Made in a beautifully soft cotton, this style features pale blue panel details and our exclusively designed 1982 felt applique on the front chest. For an effortlessly sporty-chic look, pair yours with the Cloe Knit Pant in Espresso.

• Alpine Cotton Stripe Shirt in Red Wine: Endlessly comfortable and investment-worthy, this shirt is a versatile addition to your wardrobe, suitable for various occasions. Look effortlessly cool. 

• Aerobics Sweatshirt (Tulip Red): Look fresh as F*** in the Araminta James Aerobics tracksuit in Tulip red. Our Aerobics Sweatshirt is effortlessly cool and pairs perfectly with our Aerobics Trackpant in Tulip Red.

• Club Cardigan (Coconut): The Club Cardigan in Coconut from Araminta James crafted from a soft cotton features an oversized silhouette, balancing style and comfort.  We suggest sizing down for a less oversized fit.

2. Neuw Denim: For the Woman Who Needs Jeans That Actually Fit

Every woman has a denim graveyard — jeans that dig, sag, or leave you questioning your life choices by 10am. Neuw Denim puts an end to all that with flattering cuts and comfy waistbands that don’t compromise on style.

• The Eva Wide Leg Jean: Timeless, tailored, leg-lengthening, and looks amazing with sneakers or slides. Try the Neuw Eva Jean in Iris Wash with a slouchy tee or a fitted tank.

• The Denim Bomber Jean Jacket (Jet): It goes with everything and hides all manner of snack-related chaos. The Neuw Denim Bomber Jacket is basically your new throw-on-and-go bestie.

3. Ena Pelly: For the Woman Who’s Got Edge (and Snacks in Her Bag)

When you want your school drop-off look to say "I’m cool but responsible," Ena Pelly delivers. Known for their elevated basics and relaxed luxe vibes, these pieces are woman-approved and Instagram-ready.

• Graphic Tees that Work Hard: The Ena Pelly Oversized Serpent Tee has the perfect oversized fit. Tuck it, knot it, layer it — you’re golden.

• Miley Suede Trench Coat (toffee): The Ena Pelly Miley is a belted longline coat crafted with precision for a relaxed fit and mid calf length, featuring a button front, collar and lapel, and a centre back split for ease of movement. Style it over a tracksuit or wear it for an event, looking polished. Get your mileage out this timeless stunning coat. 

• The Classic Crew: A polished sweatshirt that feels like loungewear but looks like effort. Try the Ena Pelly Chloe Oversized Sweater Core Logo in White with high-waisted jeans or even bike shorts.
