Maternity clothes: how to look stylish
Marketers won’t tell you this, but we just have to: in fact, with a change in status, you don’t need to radically update your wardrobe, just add a few basic things there.
Just give us a reason to shop. It seems, as soon as the belly reaches a pleasant roundness, we will buy cute and feminine things and we will scribble, like from a machine gun, beautiful bows on the social network. But believe me, this is a waste of money. Reduce the shopping itch, put your credit card aside, and read a few of the pregnancy shopping rules we’ve outlined.
1. Buy clothes at regular stores
In specialized ones, you will only need jeans and trousers – a special elastic band will be sewn into them instead of a belt, into which it is convenient to put your stomach. Everything else can be found in your favorite brands – thanks to the oversized fashion, the choice of stylish clothes that you can fit in is huge. And the chance that it will be useful to you after childbirth will increase significantly.
2. Give preference to the base
You don’t need a dress for going out, or several options for trousers or skirts. In fact, the period when the belly requires a separate container is short – plus or minus three months. The last three months of pregnancy, most of which you will spend at the clinic, at home, on courses or in the baby store. You just need to buy a few basic items suitable for daily wear. And if you want to diversify the bow, take a look in the closet: scarves, cardigans and those same oversized sweaters will suit you well even in anxious waiting period. Didn’t find anything in your closet? Rummage on the shelves of your husband – a shirt or a cozy sweater in a man’s silhouette is also the peak of fashion.
3. Choose models that are suitable for the first year of motherhood
Let them not be tight, with a narrow collar and too light. It may not seem so to you yet, but the only thing that will be important to you after the birth of a child is convenience and non-staining. Much of what I bought for a pregnant woman, I managed to wear only once. After giving birth, I wore my regular clothes and the one with breastfeeding locks. Let the one who invented it know no grief!
You will surely find a lot of suitable clothes in your husband’s wardrobe.
4. Be aware that your taste may change.
It is inexplicable, but true! Have you heard these stories about repairs during pregnancy, which causes horror after childbirth? This is true. It’s the same with shopping. Dresses that seem cute and long-lasting, you will get out a few months after the birth of the child and will not understand in what fog they were bought. They may be quite in your style, but you suddenly realize that you have changed a lot and want something different.

Speaking of white shirt! It should be in every woman’s wardrobe: correct, masculine cut, but made for a woman. In it, you go through the entire pregnancy and a couple of years after. White is universal. But shirts of any pastel shades will also go here. Wear them with jeans, leggings, unbuttoned over shirts and even dresses.

There are two rules: a sweatshirt or hoody should not be short: during pregnancy, you should put your belly in them, and in the first months after giving birth, a shot cut will make your waist wide. Colour. If you want dark shades, choose wine, chocolate, dark green. This is the case when black does not play into the hand. If the soul requires lighter, then your options in pastel shades: mint, powdery, blue will look stylish.
