Maternity Clothes
Some people may be put off by the thought of wearing stretchy pants, when in fact you can actually find stylish maternity wear. If you are envisioning a shapeless smock then this isn’t the case. Rather than opting for clothes that are a size larger you should look around for the variety of maternity options which will not only flatter your growing curves but make you look cool too. Keep in mind that fitted clothes are much more appealing than old baggy clothes. If you are a size 12 then you should buy yourself some size 12 maternity trousers, you shouldn’t just grab a size 16 as it will look ridiculous!
Know Your Body Shape
Every person has a distinctive body shape, so what looked fine on your expectant friend may not suit you so well. You need to get to know your body shape and what type of clothing suits you best. If you feel comfortable and look great then this is all that matters.
Layer Clothes
You may assume that the clothes you wear have to look plain and unappealing. Well, in fact that is completely untrue! You can layer clothes too create more of a personality to any outfit. For example, layer camis and tanks underneath sweaters and other t-shirts. By wearing layers you can create a more colourful look.
Wear Cute Dresses
Dresses are a lot more comfortable than wearing jeans or pants whilst you are pregnant. This is because the waistband can often dig into your belly and become an annoyance. An ideal style of dress would be a maxi dress. These dresses are bold and loose fitting and will flatter your new curves. You should embrace that bump and look like a yummy mummy in a sexy yet subtle maxi dress.
Flat Shoes Are Your Friend
If your feet are swollen and sore than the last thing you are going to want to wear are heels. Wearing flat canvas shoes or even sneakers will make you feel extremely comfortable. Trust me you need a nice pair of flats when you are expecting!
Buy New Underwear
As your body is growing and changing during each trimester it is essential to buy undergarments which not only look good but feel comfy too. A bra that fits and supports your growing breasts is essential, you may even need to buy more than one bra during your pregnancy. If you do not want to buy maternity underwear than opting for low rise garments may be more suitable.
Buy Accessories
If you feel frumpy and like nothing fits than you can brighten up any outfit with some womens accessories. Add some jewelry such as bracelets or bangles to create a chic look. Bold and chunky pieces are more eye catching. As your hormones are all over the place it is okay to not like a certain part of your body, however funky accessories will create a more stylish look.
