These Are The Denim Brands You Need To Know — Mother’s whimsical detailing (and style names) make for clothing with a personality. Aside from the brand’s denim, which is fabulous, Mother also has amazing fleeces, sweaters, and more with indie-inspired flair. Oh and if you’re petite, the brand recently launched a “Lil’ Mother” collection for you.
