Pregnancy is a time of life when you should feel pampered and special. There are some fabulous maternity clothes to make sure you look your best at every stage of your pregnancy.
Maternity dresses, tops, trousers and jeans look fabulous when teamed with everyday accessories. If you only have a few items of maternity clothing, use your accessories to dress them up for evening, and down for day or office wear. Chunky necklaces and bags will draw the eye to your accessories and not to your bump, so use colourful beads and glitzy bags.
The main aims of maternity wear are to make you feel comfortable and make you look good. So buy the best. Comfortable, well fitted clothes can see you right through your pregnancy.
Check with friends whether they have kept their maternity clothes. If you are the same height you’ll be able to borrow trousers, dresses and skirts. If there’s a big height difference, you should still be able to wear their maternity tops, sweaters and tunics.
Office maternity clothes
Separates are perfect to wear to the office. Choose loose fitting cotton and woollen fabrics because they’ll help to keep you from feeling too hot or too cold. Natural fibres are much better at letting your body breathe.
Maternity tops come in pretty pastel shades in cottons and linens and they will still look fresh at the end of the day. Choose a pair of black maternity trousers to team with them and add a long knitted cardigan on cooler days. Maternity cardigans are gorgeous, there’s plenty of room and they feel fabulous; sort of a comforting hug when you’re feeling chilled.
If you prefer skirts, team a grey pleated skirt with a black, long sleeved knitted top. Or team a black straight skirt with a patterned black and gray cotton three quarter sleeved T. Wear black high denier tights and black pumps.
How you feel affects your mood. You need to feel your best all the time. This may not be easy if you are expecting your second or third child, but it’s worth the effort to pick maternity clothes that make you fell wonderfully feminine.
