My mother and I have never worn pantsuits [1] at the same time. In fact, I don't think my mom — who is the most casual dresser, like, ever — has ever even considered the idea of a pantsuit. But there's no reason I can't pretend like one day it might happen. As soon as I saw Victoria Beckham [2] and her mom — ahem — twinning in chic coordinates for an evening out at Annabel's in Mayfair, I paused my Christmas music and turned on "Mama" by the Spice Girls [3]. I mean, wouldn't you?
While Victoria's black separates featured a silk stripe and matching lapels, and she also opted for mules, Jackie Adams was the one in a bold blue. Jackie wore a slightly lower heel and a relaxed white shirt, unbuttoned at the top. But both ladies carried elegant clutches to prove they were totally on the same wavelength. Whether you prefer black or blue, we found some similar ensembles for you ahead. Bonus points if you can get your mom to shop right along with you.
Come on, sing it one time with me: "Mama I love you, Mama I care, Mama I love you, Mama my friend . . . "
