Stay Stylish During Pregnancy: 7 Tips on Picking Maternity Outfits
When pregnant, it’s important that you feel comfortable and confident in your clothing. Here are some tips to help you pick out the best maternity outfits.
It can be difficult to adapt your style when you become pregnant. As your bump grows, you may become more uncomfortable, so feeling good in your clothes will give you a much-needed confidence boost.
It’s not easy to dress a body that you’re not used to, so shopping for maternity outfits can be tricky. The good news is, there’s a lot of choices out there. Here are a few tips on getting your maternity style right.
Go for Breathable Fabrics
When you’re pregnant, you have your own little central heating system growing inside you. You may find that you get hot and bothered at the click of your fingers, even when it’s cold outside. So, it’s important to choose breathable fabrics so you don’t feel too restricted by what you’re wearing.
Elastic Waistbands
One of the most important things you can do for yourself is to invest in a few pairs of bottoms with elastic waistbands. You’ll want your bump to be able to expand in all it’s glory without causing you any discomfort. So whether its gym wear or a suit skirt for the office, always choose the ones with growing room.
Button Up Tops
Many button-up tops are loose-fitting and flowy, making them easy and comfortable to wear whether you’re pregnant or not. The great thing about these tops is that they can see you way past your due date. If you’re planning on breastfeeding, these tops come in really handy when you’re out and about. They’re also easy to slip on when you’ve got less time on your hands.
Don’t Forget to Accessorize
Just because you’re wearing maternity clothes, it doesn’t mean you have to be boring. You can accessorize your clothes in the same way you did before. For pregnant mothers-to-be, large patterned scarfs, statement necklaces or bold earrings can make a killer outfit.
Maternity Occasion Wear
There’ll probably be a few events you have to attend during your pregnancy, so it’s a good idea to look for maternity occasion wear. Whether you’re going to a wedding or thinking about pregnancy announcements on social media, you’ll need something you feel good in. Shift dresses are ideal for any occasion and they’ll adapt with your bump.
Maternity Bands
Maternity bands can be a lifesaver as your bump starts to grow and you learn about dressing while pregnant. If your regular clothes are starting to feel a little uncomfortable but you haven’t got around to shopping for maternity clothes, get yourself a maternity band. They allow you to wear your regular clothes by expanding your waist so you have more room to grow.
Have Fun with Your Maternity Outfits
When you’re limited to the maternity section of every store, it can be tempting to forget about your style and go for the first thing you find. Have some fun choosing your maternity outfits instead. Add a little personality to each outfit and sail through your pregnancy with confidence.
