If we had to pinpoint exactly what makes a jacket mom-appropriate, there are a few of things at play. First nothing outweighs comfort — you want something that you can bend in, pick up the kid in, and move around in without feeling constricting. Another critical component would likely be pockets. Big or small, little places to stash things are important if you want to go hands-free. And lastly, something fashionable wouldn't hurt. We spend so much of our time doing things for others, that a smart piece of outerwear is an opportunity to hide what's happening underneath (is that yesterday's T-shirt we see?) and present a structured, modern version of yourself, via a jacket. We found 16 options that will work in a number of different climates.
