If your mom was choosing your outfits each day, would you still look the same? New York Magazine asked five cool city kids, ranging in ages from 7 to 16, to choose their best back to school outfit
—and then gave their mothers free reign to dress them as they pleased.Is it just me, or does Madeline's mom have styling abilities that rival Alex Wang? My mom doesn't, but I would be willing to wear her hand-selected wardrobe nonetheless. Half of the contents of our closets are the same, and when I lived at home, I would go in for an outfit approval on a daily basis. After four years of living away, I still kind of miss that.
If NYMag were to ask us to participate in the back-to-school wardrobe wars, the "kid" vs. "mom" outfits are bound to be identical. Do you and your mom have similar senses of styles?
