If you'd describe your personal style as a mix of understated basics, well, you might be dressing like a "rich mom." Yes, social media came up with the term to describe the elegant and timeless, yet simple and chic fashion aesthetic. The key is to skip flashy logos, pick items that fit well and stick to a neutral color palette. If you want to lean into the preppier side of this trend, add a polo sweater to your closet.
Polo collars (also called Johnny collars if there aren't any buttons involved) can make you look like you just left the country club. Pair them with jeans, trousers, skirts and more for an outfit that is both effortlessly elevated and casual. I did a lot of digging and found 10 luxe-looking polo sweaters from across the 'net to help you build your own "rich mom" wardrobe. Take a look below — no membership required.
If you're not sure about the polo sweater trend, and you don't want to spend a lot of money to try it out, give this style a shot. For just $20, this Amazon sweater comes in a range of colors, and its relaxed, cotton-yarn fit will keep you warm and comfy all season long.
If you want the "old money" look, a cable-knit sweater is pretty much a closet essential. Take things a step further and get one that's extra preppy with a polo-style collar on top. This one comes in 17 colors, and at just $25, you may be tempted to get more than one.
This basic, relaxed polo sweater is another good Amazon buy. It comes in 14 shades, and one shopper said that it's "soft as cashmere." It runs true to size, so if you want an oversized fit like the model, try sizing up.
If you prefer a fine, ribbed knit, check out this pretty pick. Its viscose-blend fabric comes in more than 30 colors, including a range of neutrals and stripes. However, a muted brown color like this one is giving all the "rich mom" vibes.
This sweater has rugby-like stripes you can wear with jeans and sneakers, or you can dress it up with gold jewelry and heeled booties. It fits right into the prep-school chic trend that is hot this fall, and the relaxed silhouette is one you'll reach for on a regular basis.
Merino wool and silk? Count us in! This high-quality, ribbed knit topper feels soft and, with proper care (dry-cleaning), will stay that way for years to come. It features oversize shell buttons down the front and has a slim fit that's easy to tuck into a pair of trousers or jeans.
Add a feminine touch to your wardrobe with this 100% cotton pullover. It has a scalloped hem around the collar and comes in this pretty black and white print. You can dress this one up for the office or keep it casual and pair it with jeans and black boots.
Don't sleep on H&M's sweaters! The retailer has tons of affordable options, like this soft, fuzzy, slouchy pick that comes in cream, brown and blue. It has a slightly oversized fit that makes it great for layering over a tee or wearing on its own.
If you haven't checked out Quince's sweaters, here's your call to duty! It has so many cotton and cashmere options at great prices, like this polo style. It has a relaxed fit and a slightly cropped hem. It's not so cropped that your midriff will show, but for those who are petite or have a shorter torso, it's the perfect length and should hit just below your waistline.
This pick has a waffle knit that feels extra cozy, and it's great for a casual day out. And, it's super comfy with a cotton-nylon-spandex blend fabric and a relaxed fit that falls at the hip. You can't go wrong with any color either. It comes in brown, beige, blue and cream, and there are a couple striped options as well.
