Top Tips For A Stylish Ppregnancy

Pregnancy is a time when women look their most beautiful. You will find yourself with boosted -or discover completely new- voluptuous curves, and have a healthy, happy glow. Thinking about your maternity and breast feeding wardrobe and the image you project is the first step to looking, and more importantly feeling, like a beautiful mummy.

Here are the top tips for a stylish maternity:

Size matters

It can be easier to move away from maternity lines and easy access breastfeeding clothes and simply buy and borrow regular clothes in a bigger size. Many pregnant women find themselves borrowing their partner’s clothes, or buying clothes from the men’s sections. There isn’t a problem with this for casual wear, after all, who doesn’t want to snuggle on the sofa in a cosy men’s hoody? But constantly wearing bulky clothes which are far too big will leave you looking and feeling much bigger than you are.

With so many stylish maternity lines available, once your bump has grown too big to fit into your regular clothes it makes sense to move towards clothes which are specifically designed to flatter your shape. In cooler weather wear a fitted long-sleeved maternity top with a loose scarf for a chic snug look.

There is a reason why most women can’t wait to buy a maternity wardrobe! Not only will the clothes flatter your bump, but they are also designed with optimum levels of comfort, with natural fabrics to avoid irritation and a comfortable cut.

Start with the basics

Once you have decided to move towards maternity clothes some reliable maternity underwear will give you the confidence to dress stylishly. Look for comfortable cotton fabrics and designs which give you the support. Buy some nightwear too; maternity nightwear is more comfortable than any others out there.

Build a basic capsule wardrobe. Select some maternity/nursing tops with long and short sleeves, a comfortable cotton tunic to wear with leggings and some knitwear to keep warm in cooler weather. Show off your new voluptuous curves with V-neck or scoop-neck tops.

An essential after pregnancy is a changing bag. These don’t have to be padded with bright cartoon characters. Modern designers such as Koochu are creating handbags which secretly double as changing bags. Check out their beautiful patent handbags which contain a washable cotton lining with useful hidden pockets; including a hidden base compartment for a changing mat, nappies and wipes. These bags even come with the changing mat, and a thermo insulated bottle holding compartment.

Don’t be afraid of glamour

So many designers are creating gorgeous more formal maternity dresses and skirts, meaning you don’t have to sacrifice glamour just because you’re pregnant. Feeling glamorous and stylish is a great way to feel beautiful again. Try treating yourself to a pampering session and buy a new dress and shrug for an evening out.

To save money try looking at maternity ranges which double as breast feeding clothes. Clothes which are suitable for both the pregnancy and nursing stages will let you really get your money’s worth. Look at nursing tops with hidden concealments, they are completely practical and available in beautiful designs. How about a nursing top in a vest shape with a long, flowing skirt and sandals in summer? The concealments are completely invisible yet so practical when you need to use them.

And don’t be afraid of colour, stand out during pregnancy and nursing with a bright top or scarf. Changing your wardrobe for maternity no longer means you have to sacrifice your style!
