Follow these 6 simple guidelines to dressing stylishly while you are pregnant and you won't only look Fab but your will feel great as well.
Don’t – Wear tops which are too short which cause you to expose your tummy to the world.
Do – wear maternity camisoles or singlets which cover your belly and giving you a lovely shape. Also, combine with non-maternity labels pieces from Billion Dollar Babes, BY Malene Birger and any of your favourite pieces from your usual wardrobe to put over the top of your maternity basics to create an interesting layered look.
Don’t – put aside all of your favourite little dresses because they are too short.
Do – wear them in a different way…reinvent your favourite little dress as a tunic or a mini you can wear over everyone’s favourite Soon tights. Depending on the style of dress, you can always add a belt under your belly (we recommend this with trousers), or the belt positioned above your belly.
Don’t – shy away from trying bold prints especially with florals and tribal prints being so fashionable right now.
Do – watch what the leading maternity labels are doing with their prints as the designers know how to choose prints which are flattering even on the biggest belly. As a general rule the smaller the print the larger it makes you appear.
Don’t – be tempted to fill your wardrobe with the biggest and baggiest pieces you can find, or ransack madly though your husband’s wardrobe for that matter.
Do – wear properly fitted and comfortable clothing which hugs your body showing off your tummy in a beautiful way rather than hiding this precious cargo. Of course if you are at home and are desperately seeking some comfort in your hubby’s clothes then go for it. We suggest checking out the Blossom Mother & Child collections and anything from Mishka’n’Milka, who’s pieces are young and fresh and flatter your body.
Don’t – run from staying active (pardon the pun), as this is the best way to feel better about yourself and as a bonus you will find it easier to get back into shape after you have had your baby.
Do – purchase some active wear and we suggest the perfect additions to any active maternity wardrobe are; at least one pair of tights from Soon and some yoga pants, 2 tanks from YIM and one t-shirt. Knowing these are sitting there waiting for you will help to motivate you to put them on and stay active. Feeling good is looking great!
Don’t – be scared of investing in a great baby bag.
Do – know your style and invest in a bag which is something you will use whilst your pregnant, after you have had your baby as a baby bags and most importantly can be used years after as a beautiful fashion addition to your wardrobe. We love the Hansel Bag by Not Rational and the Bronte Baby Bag by Rachael Ruddick.
