Best Of: Edgy Mom Style at OAKNYC

minimal edgy mom style

Swooping in to redeem myself after posting about the Best Of Talbots is a round-up of the best edgy mom style at OAKNYC right now. If you are unfamiliar, let me school you. They are the epicenter of edgy, cool, dark, light, new, now, with a vision of futuristic dance floors on planets with 24 hours of darkness followed by 24 hours of light. OAK is bad ass to say the least.

Don’t ask about the music they’re playing if you go into the store on Nassau Ave in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. If you have to ask, you’re not cool enough to know. They aren’t a store for moms. In fact, they’re probably hissing at this post if they’re reading it. But, since OAK is a few blocks from my apartment, I’m a regular. It connects my club kid, raver, goth self of yesteryear with my current desire to feel connected with what’s happening and what’s next. Upon walking in, I immediately feel like I’m my old self again and that having a baby doesn’t have to change your style.

Now, to rub off some of the golden polish that I’ve just given it, I’ll quote my best friend’s interpretation of the place, “How many different kinds of black harem pants can you seriously sell?” So if you want to be a fashion victim, they’ve got you covered. If you want to find some wildly unique stuff, generally made in the USA, to layer with what you’ve already got…by all means. Here are a few of the things that I’m swooning over at OAK right now.
