How To Do The Fisherman Aesthetic When You’re Chasing Kids All Day

A good pair of rain boots is just essential to have in your closet, but if you want to hit the fisherman’s aesthetic (and not wear full-on galoshes every single day), these are the perfect pair. From Merry People, these ankle rain boots come in a wide variety of colors, but I personally love the dark cherry. They look great with jeans, you can dress them up or down, wear them even if it’s not raining — they’re just great.

You can’t hit that fisherman’s aesthetic without a cable crew sweater, and this blue one from Aerie is so good. The color definitely gives off fisherman vibes, but it’s light enough to wear through the spring, and you could easily layer it if you wanted. Plus, it’s super soft and easy to throw on with some jeans for a full day in your life.

Pops of red are essential to the fisherman’s aesthetic, and this super soft beanie from Gap will definitely bring that vibe. It’s so cute, but I also love how light it is — you could wear this all year long.

Look at this gorgeous olive green! I'm obsessed. An excellent everyday piece, L.L. Bean's utility jacket absolutely hits the fisherman aesthetic with the color and material. You'll also fall in love with it for how light it is and how great it looks with literally everything. Playground, going to the movies, meeting friends for drinks — anything.

You need some classic jeans to complete the look, and these ankle jeans from Old Navy fit the bill. They can show off boat shoes (we’ll get to those later), and the color is great for that soft and worn look that’s so perfect for fisherman’s aesthetic looks.

There are a million knitted cardigans out there, but I especially love the colors in this scenic cardigan from Passenger. It just fits the vibe. Plus, it’s a great price point and can be worn year-round.

Stripes, always. Every good fisherman-inspired wardrobe needs a striped crewneck, and this one from Madewell is perfection. Super soft, a nice loose fit (no super-cropped tops here), and so easy to wear. Hitting a trend with a t-shirt? Yes, please.

Every mom I know is carrying roughly 800 things with her on any given day. Water bottles, extra diapers, phone chargers, books — whatever ya got, throw it in this adorable sea animal tote bag. Inspired by vintage tattoos, this tote gives great fisherman’s aesthetic, and it can hold a ton of stuff. Win-win.

Another pop of red, this time in a pair of great Vans canvas shoes. Do they look a little Mister Rogers? Sure. Do they also work for a fisherman-inspired vibe? Absolutely. Super easy to wear with anything, and a great choice for you if you’re not feeling your rain boots.

An anchor necklace can have such meaning beyond “fisherman’s aesthetic,” and this super dainty one is just too cute. Pair it with literally anything.

Nobody’s going to look like the frozen fish sticks guy here, but I am 100% obsessed with this Charly waterproof rain parka from Eddie Bauer. The yellow is so perfect — not too bright, not too mustard-y/neutral — and it’s just plain fun. Definitely gives fisherman vibes, but will also make you happy to wear while you chase your kids in the rain and jump in puddles.

If you’re not feeling the beanie but need something to hide your three-days-past-a-wash hair in the car line, throw on this denim baseball cap from Banana Republic. Super cute and neutral, fits the trend, and looks great with everything.
