It’s easier to stay in style during pregnancy than you might think! From using pieces to already have, to accessorizing, to playing up your best features, In Style has some great tips for you!
1. Shop Your Closet
Raid your existing wardrobe for pieces that can fit your new shape. Open cardigans, long stretchy tunics and tees will continue to work, at least in the beginning. Tent and empire-waist dresses are natural transition pieces too.
2. Don’t Give Your Belts
Give shape to roomy pieces with a simple cinch. Transform a voluminous tent dress by adding a stylish belt above the tummy. “A belt below the belly also works well with fun tunics and long tees,” says Soloman. Just don’t go too tight!
3. Keep Your Edge
Hip mamas don’t need to ditch their style while expecting. You can still show off your figure, accenting legs, cleavage, or whatever else is making you feel sexy these days. “Super-skinny jeans, layered tees and a blazer contribute to an edgier look,” says Soloman.
4. Balance Your Belly With Statement Jewelry
“Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize,” says Soloman. “Jewelry always draws attention away from the over-sized bump and onto the neck and face.”
5. Find the Perfect Pair of Jeans
Pairing jeans with a flowing top is an easy silhouette that always works. When choosing maternity denim, says Soloman, “Comfort is key, make sure you have enough hip space.” Although the elastic panel at the waist will grow with you, it’s best to wait until your second trimester before investing in a pair, since denim has less stretch then most other fabrics.
