The 4 Spring Trends This Parisian Mom Borrows From Her Daughters
As a fashion editor, I aim to please. When I wrote a story last fall about an exceptionally well-dressed Parisian mom of three, you readers lapped it up, so I tapped her again for a spring-focused story. Elisabete Bento may not have quite the Instagram following as her influencer daughters Salomé and Tamara Mory, but her style is undoubtedly just as strong
I asked Elisabete about the spring and summer trends she borrows from her daughters, and she came up with a handful of stylish, wearable, and French-approved recommendations. One look at the trio's Instagram pages and you can tell that they share clothes often, proving that their favorite pieces are great for any generation. Scroll down to read and shop her top warm-weather trends.
Lilac
"Lilac is so perfect for spring," Elisabete told me. "When it’s still a bit cold but I feel like wearing spring colors, I just put on a lilac sweater and a pair of light blue jeans. The perfect color match. Makes me feel warm but not wintery and makes me smile."
Floral Midi and Maxi Dresses
"The three of us have almost the entire collection from Réalisation Par, our favorite brand. But also love Rouje and Faithful the Brand."
Flat Mules
"Flat suede mules from Staud or Manolo Blahnik are the perfect accessory for a cool, chic outfit. Flat mules have adapted to our new quarantine way of life and match absolutely everything, from denim shorts to midi skirts."
Jumpsuits
"I love to put on a one-piece outfit that immediately gives you great strong style. Just add a nice bag and shoes and that’s it! Love the one from Posse, which I stole from Salomé."

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
