As a Florida native, you can say I thrive when wearing colorful clothing, breathable pieces and cute yet conservative finds. And that aesthetic rings true for all the rich moms living in West Palm Beach. My family recently moved from Miami to the coastal city, and upon visiting, I couldn’t help but notice the prevalent preppy-esque vibe at Publix supermarkets, church services and restaurants off Worth Avenue. So naturally, I found several outfit pieces that channel the look.
Bold colors, floral prints and coastal chic styles are part of a West Palm Beach rich mom’s closet. Most women gravitate toward Lilly Pulitzer style — after all, the designer founded her brand in the Sunshine State — but you don’t have to solely shop at the high-end retailer for the look. I discovered equally chic styles on Amazon, Walmart and Nordstrom, starting at $14. And if you have more wiggle room in the budget, you can grab even more options from Astr the Label, Lulus, Abercrombie and even Tuckernuck.
15 West Palm Beach-Style Clothes Rich Moms Are Wearing
1. My Favorite: You simply can’t tell me this flowy maxi dress isn’t quintessentially West Palm Beach style. The bold pink color, eyelet details and notched neckline are so on trend. Plus, the A-line skirt flatters while giving you some room to breathe.
2. Runner-Up: Just one outing in the city and you’ll see multiple women wearing striped dresses, like this $14 option. I especially like the ruffle cap sleeves and vertical striped pattern that provides a secret lengthening effect. Hey, for girlies 5’2″ and under, that’s a major win!
3. Spring Staple: Florals for spring aren’t groundbreaking, but that won’t stop me from eyeing yet another flower-adorned top. This one has billowy long sleeves that conceal the arms without making you break out in sweat.
4. Mix and Match: Anyone who runs warm needs to check out this two-piece set. It’s made with a blend of airy linen and lightweight rayon, so you’ll feel comfortable walking outside at CityPlace when it’s 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Because the set comes with two pieces, you can wear the top with jeans and the bottoms with a white tee — up to you.
5. Instant Upgrade: You probably have several maxi dresses in your closet, but this boho-style find will give them a run for their money. The floral eyelet pattern leans into the spring trend without being too ‘in your face.’ The subtlety is what gives it that quiet luxury moment . . . at least for West Palm Beach style.

6. Designer-Inspired: If you look fast, you just might think this paisley-print blouse is Lilly Pulitzer. The now-$20 price tag assures that it’s not, but who’s going to know?
7. Anything But Basic: West Palm Beach ladies love a game of golf, and this cute, flippy skirt channels high-end fashion with an athletic vibe. Last time I checked, golf skorts are pretty plain, so this paisley-printed option totally stands out online (and on the course).
8. Quite the Charmer: Give your plain white button-down shirt a break. This long-sleeved pick has a nautical vibe due to the striped print, which I really like. The soft, cotton-blend top is available in tons of colors, so you can lean as much into the Palm Beach style as you want. See: sunny yellow, soft pink and lime green.
9. Beach Babe: You don’t need to own a beach-front property to look like you do. This crochet two-piece set, plus a bucket-load of confidence, will get you there. The scalloped hem, perforated design and relaxed fit are *chef’s kiss.*
10. Playful Pattern: Craving the real thing? You can’t go wrong with the O.G. of West Palm Beach style — Lilly Pulitzer. This shirtdress has the brand’s iconic floral print, bright hue and flattering ruffle trim that feels perfect for errands and church alike.
11. Elevated Find: Spring is peak wedding season, which means you have to start shopping for your outfit ASAP. This maxi is the perfect wedding guest dress, thanks to the pastel purple hue, tiered floaty ruffles and satin-like finish that reads ‘expensive.’
12. Picnic Pretty: Gingham prints are another staple in every rich mom’s wardrobe with a 33480 zip code. This one from Astr the Label has a drop hem design that’s very trendy for spring 2026. And while it’s available in classic black and white, I’m more partial to the pink! It just makes sense for West Palm Beach.
13. Slimming Staple: Whether you’re attending a baby shower or luncheon, be sure you do so in this strapless midi dress. Not only is the color and style so chic, but the belted design provides a flattering fit that cinches the waist. Hello, hourglass!
14. Low-Key Genius: Living in South Florida usually means showing off your arms . . . a lot. That also means having to wear uncomfortable strapless bras — unless you pick up this clever Abercrombie maxi. It has a hidden, built-in bra that allows you to go commando (at least up top). And the flower hardware detail? Gorgeous.
15. Last But Not Least: Scoring anything Tuckernuck under $100 is almost unheard of. However, if you look at its sale section, you’ll find some stellar gems, like this ruby and cornflower stripe color-block dress that’s so cute for shopping days, farmers’ markets and beach afternoons.
