Meet the Vintage-Inspired Collection That Will Define Your Summer Wardrobe

Have you ever thought to yourself: Wow, I'd love to be a surfer in Southern California in the '80s?Honestly, I hadn't either until I saw Mother's latest summer collection at Bloomingdale's. It immediately made me want to hit the beach, grab a board, and paddle out. Mother's newest styles are inspired by the vibrant fashion of Venice Beach in the '80s, and it's just as charming as it sounds. With the brand's signature denim front and center, this collection features on-trend silhouettes like Bermuda shorts and wide-leg styles in worn-in washes and summer whites, along with quirky graphic tees and colorful knitwear that look like they were plucked straight from a lifeguard's closet back in the day. These stand-out pieces will be so fun to style this summer, especially if you want to achieve that laid-back California vibe. Scroll on to shop Mother's new, nostalgic summer collection courtesy of Bloomingdale's.
