As Mother's Day approaches, it's time to celebrate and honour the fantastic role models who many of us have been lucky to have. Women who have nurtured us whether it's your own mother, a grandmother, sister, or friend. And as a mother myself I'm hoping my husband gets organised with this! 

Although we should show those around us appreciation regularly, this is a lovely, special day to help our mums feel cherished and maybe a little spoiled. 

Choosing the perfect outfit for Mother's Day celebrations can be a great way to bond and get excited about the day out together. Perhaps you have a fancy brunch booked or a casual dinner. Maybe your mum prefers an afternoon tea? Whatever the venue having the right ensemble can make you all feel extra special. 

I've always found Cotton Traders have excellent quality clothing with a great choice of both a casual look or something for a dressier brunch. They are practical but stylish, on trend but not uncomfortable. You still feel like yourself in their items. 

As we are in a shoulder season between Spring and Summer they have just launched a beautiful collection of coats and jackets for different temperatures and most importantly to suit the various events you might be attending at this time of year. Which means these could be a perfect gift for a special occasion such as Mother's Day on Sunday 10 March. 

Here you'll find a variety of pretty coverups to complete Mother's Day outfits in our mini Mother's Day Gift Guide. 

1. Cotton Cargo Jacket

The Cotton Cargo Jacket has become a wardrobe staple, looking relaxed but smart for a casual outfit or even over a dress and belted for a Mother's Day brunch. 

With a pure cotton outer layer and an inner drawcord to the waist for a flattering fit, Cotton Traders have taken the style further so it can be used for many every day activities. 

The full-length sleeves are the best way to keep any spring chills away and the front pockets with pretty pleats give a feminine look. 

I can't stop wearing mine it's taking me from the school run to lunches with friends and much more. 

Available in seven colour ways including our favourite Washed Green, there are plenty of vibrant colours to choose from. 

2. Boucle Jacket

In true Coco Chanel style this Boucle Jacket is a great Mother's Day Gift. These never go out of style and will be well recognised and coveted - by any mother, grandmother or aunt! 

With the famous textured boucle fabric, this fully lined jacket has faux mother-of-pearl buttons and comes in Soft Pink or Sky Blue. 

Paired with a delicate blouse or a pretty dress, this creates a timeless look and the whole family will be hoping this gets handed down to them! 

3. Cutwork Denim Jacket

I love a twist on a classic and this Denim Jacket with elegant cutwork embroidery makes such a statement. 

With flattering darts at the bust and a scalloped-edge hem this is a brilliant makeover for those who are a fan of white jeans in the warmer months. 

This will look fabulous for a Mother's Day lunch and at summer events over a midi dress with floral prints. It could be accessorised with trainers now and sandals in the summer. 

4. Embroidered Cotton Linen Jacket

Indulge in the epitome of vintage style with this 70s inspired Linen Jacket. The floral embroidery, dropped shoulders and finish at the waist look just too cool! 

With mock horn buttons to add a little luxury detailing this is a stunning jacket which doesn't try too hard. Your loved one can throw on over jeans or dresses and have a little retro styling in their summer outfits. 

If you are searching for Mother's Day outfit ideas or gifts this is an item which will be worn again and again. 

5. Wool-Look Unlined Coat

For those days when there's still a chill in the air, or for early morning walks this soft wool-look coat is just what we need. I'm completely taken with the Soft Sage colour option, a chic look which any mother would approve of for a gift. 

The cut is stylish and modern, with twin welt pockets, flatteringly to the lower body and waist darts to nip in and give you shape while keeping warm. 

With a fabric that feels like wool but is machine washable this is practical as well as beautiful. I'm adding this one to my wish list for Mother's Day. 

We hope this gives you plenty of inspiration for a Happy Mother's Day. Whether you are the mother and can send this as a hint to your children and partner or if you need ideas for the ladies in your life. 

A statement coat is a great option for a present and lasts longer than just Mothering Sunday. This is the perfect time to think about different looks and a spring wardrobe for the coming months and beyond when we get our summer!
