Pregnancy and the early days of motherhood bring many changes, including to your wardrobe. However, being pregnant doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your sense of style. In this blog post, we'll share tips for staying fashionable during pregnancy and your maternity era, along with recommendations for brands that offer fashion forward and comfortable maternity wear.

Embrace the Bump:

Highlight Your Bump: Embrace your growing belly by choosing clothes that accentuate rather than hide it. Fitted tops, dresses, and maternity leggings can help highlight your bump in a flattering way.
Layering: Use layering to add depth and style to your outfits. Cardigans, blazers, and scarves can add a fashionable touch while providing comfort.

Invest in Maternity Essentials:

Maternity Jeans: A good pair of maternity jeans is a wardrobe staple. Look for styles with stretchy panels that provide support and comfort. Brands like HATCH and Seraphine offer stylish and comfortable options.
Comfortable Leggings: Leggings are a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down. Opt for maternity leggings with a supportive waistband. Check out Blanqi for high-quality, comfortable leggings.

Choose Versatile Pieces:

Wrap Dresses: Wrap dresses are perfect for pregnancy as they can be adjusted to fit your growing belly. They’re also great for postpartum wear. Brands like Isabella Oliver and PinkBlush Maternity offer beautiful, versatile dresses.
Maxi Dresses and Skirts: Maxi dresses and skirts provide comfort and style. They’re flowy, easy to wear, and can be dressed up or down. Boob Design offers sustainable and stylish options.

Focus on Comfortable Footwear:

Pregnancy can cause your feet to swell, so prioritize comfort when it comes to footwear.
Look for supportive flats, sneakers, and sandals. Brands like Rothy’s and Allbirds offer comfortable and stylish options that are perfect for pregnancy and beyond.

Incorporate Non-Maternity Pieces:

Oversized Tops and Tunics: Many non-maternity pieces can be adapted for pregnancy. Oversized tops, tunics, and dresses can accommodate a growing belly and can be worn postpartum as well. Your significant other's closet is always a good option too ...
Stretchy Fabrics: Opt for clothes made from stretchy fabrics that can grow with you. Look for items that you can continue to wear after pregnancy.

Accessorize:

Use accessories to add a fashionable touch to your outfits. Statement jewelry, scarves, and belts can elevate a simple outfit and make you feel put-together. Brands like Madewell and Anthropologie offer a wide range of stylish accessories.

Supportive Undergarments:

Maternity Bras: Invest in comfortable and supportive maternity bras that can also be used for nursing. Brands like Bravado Designs and Kindred Bravely offer a variety of options.
Maternity Shapewear: Maternity shapewear can provide additional support for your growing belly and back. Belly Bandit offers a range of supportive garments for pregnancy and postpartum.

Feeling and looking your best during pregnancy and your maternity era is all about finding pieces that provide comfort, support, and style. By investing in a few key maternity essentials and incorporating versatile pieces, you can maintain your sense of style throughout pregnancy and beyond. It is worth the expense to invest in your changing body to help enjoy this special time in your life with confidence and style.
