As you embark on the life-altering journey of motherhood, your body changes to nurture the little life growing inside you. But as your baby bump grows, so should your wardrobe.
Maternity fashion is not about draping your beautiful bump in oversized, shapeless garments. It's about celebrating this extraordinary phase of life with comfortable, versatile, and stylish outfits.
In this article, we're going to share 10 simple tips for mixing and matching maternity outfits, making the most of your wardrobe, and staying stylish all through your pregnancy. Ready to rock your baby bump with confidence?
Let's get started.
1. Begin With the Basics
When it comes to maternity fashion, a solid foundation of basics is key. You'll need versatile pieces like our Secret Fit Belly Maternity Leggings or our Ruched Maternity T-Shirt that can be mixed and matched to create countless outfits.
Not only are these basics comfortable and stretchy to accommodate your growing bump, but they're also stylish enough to take you from day to night.
2. Choose Adaptable Maternity Jeans
A pair of great-fitting maternity jeans is a must in any maternity wardrobe. Our Secret Fit Belly Skinny Leg Maternity Jeans are an excellent choice. Designed with our patented Secret Fit Belly panel, these jeans provide comfort and support while adapting to your changing figure, making them a go-to for everyday wear.
3. Play With Layers
Layers are a pregnant woman's best friend because they offer flexibility for fluctuating body temperatures and add depth to your outfit. You can pair a simple maternity tank top with our Classic Nursing Cardigan for a cozy yet chic look.
As a bonus, the cardigan can also be used post-pregnancy, offering a flattering cover-up while nursing.
4. Invest in Versatile Maternity Dresses
Maternity dresses are an effortless way to look chic while staying comfortable. For instance, our Short Sleeve Scoop Neck Side Ruched Dress is a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
Plus, the side ruching allows the dress to grow with your belly and flatter your figure at every stage of pregnancy.
5. Don't Forget Maternity Activewear
Staying active during pregnancy has numerous benefits for both you and your baby. So, be sure to invest in some comfortable maternity activewear. Our Essential Stretch Secret Fit Belly Maternity Cropped Pant is designed to support your bump during workouts, and it's stylish enough for post-gym errands too!
6. Opt for Stretchy Fabrics
Choose clothes with stretchy fabrics that will adapt to your changing body. Our Clip Down Nursing Cami is a perfect example. Made from a blend of cotton and spandex, this cami is soft, stretchy, and ideal for layering.
Plus, it features an easy one-hand clip-down mechanism for convenient nursing access post-pregnancy.
7. Prioritize Comfort
As your pregnancy progresses, comfort becomes more and more important. There's no need to compromise style for comfort, though. Our Side Panel Maternity Overalls, for example, are the epitome of comfort, with an easy, relaxed fit that adjusts with your growing bump.
Pair them with a simple tee for a casual yet chic outfit that'll keep you comfortable all day.
8. Accessorize Wisely
Never underestimate the power of the right accessory. Even the simplest outfit can be elevated with a well-placed piece of jewelry or a scarf.
For instance, try dressing up your outfit with some red lipstick and pearl earrings — who said you can’t steal the show while pregnant? Alternatively, you can keep it casual with a baseball cap and some simple studs. The choice is yours!
9. Plan for Post-Pregnancy
Invest in maternity clothes that will serve you well even after your baby arrives. Our Pietro Brunelli Pull Over Nursing Hoodie is perfect for this. Not only is it cozy and stylish during pregnancy, but it also offers convenient pull-over nursing access for those first few months post-birth.
10. Don't Shy Away From Prints and Colors
Your maternity wardrobe doesn't have to be boring. Embrace the joy of pregnancy by experimenting with different prints and colors. Try our Long Sleeve Maternity Maxi Dress in a vibrant floral print to bring some fun and brightness into your maternity style.
How Can You Maintain Personal Style While Pregnant?
Pregnancy doesn't mean you have to compromise your style. Mix and match maternity basics with your favorite non-maternity pieces. Don't shy away from colors, prints, and accessories that reflect your personality.
The goal is to feel beautiful and comfortable during this magical time. Your body is doing something extraordinary, and your wardrobe should celebrate that — whether you're lounging at home, going out for brunch, attending a prenatal yoga class, or heading to a business meeting, there's a maternity outfit for every occasion.
Wrapping Things Up
Being a mom-to-be is a magical journey. As your body changes to accommodate the precious life growing inside you, your wardrobe also needs to evolve. We hope these 10 tips help you navigate maternity fashion with confidence, comfort, and style.
