Previously, pregnant women tried to hide their interesting position from others - either because of a fear of the evil eye, or simply being ashamed. Fortunately, in the 21st century, all this became relics of the past. Now the fashion for pregnant women is a separate direction. Future mothers are proudly walking on the catwalks, women are happy to participate in photo shoots, emphasizing rounded tummies. Now stylish pregnancy is a trend, follow it and enjoy the wonderful period of your life.
1. Do not mask pregnancy
If you hope to hide from your bosses under the table for up to 30 weeks and stealthily run to the toilet, wear hoodies. If you do not plan to make a great secret out of your position, have informed the management, colleagues and are not encrypted from acquaintances, then why wear shapeless clothes? Yes, indeed, in a free bag with a hole for the head and hands, no one will take you for a pregnant woman - as a result, you will not look pregnant, but simply ... thick. With a dozen extra pounds, such clothes will definitely add to you, or even more.
For a period of 10 to 18 weeks (for everyone differently), when the stomach is just starting to round, there is a reason to slightly veil its interesting position. Not everyone wants to tell the whole world about their pregnancy so early. Yes, and the stomach has not yet acquired a characteristic roundness, so a woman may look like she had overeaten at dinner. Therefore, in the early stages of pregnancy, you should not wear tight-fitting outfits, but it is better to opt for loose-cut blouses, dresses and shirts with a slightly high waist.
2. Do not expose your stomach
Rushing to the other extreme is also not necessary. A grown belly, crawling out from under a frankly small T-shirt, perhaps looks touching to relatives. It is unlikely that others who are far from your pregnancy will find it as charming. So choose outfits by size if you want to dress stylishly and tastefully.
3. Do not limit yourself to maternity stores.
Of course, only in special departments for pregnant women the expectant mother will find a suitable skirt and blouse for the office, as well as jeans and trousers with an elastic belt or knitted inserts. Unfortunately, in such stores there is usually a poor assortment, and the presented models cannot be called original.Even in such conditions, you can create a fashionable image: buy comfortable basic wardrobe items in the department for pregnant women, and then dilute the outfit with stylish things from your favorite boutique.
4. Add interesting details and accessories
The tight-fitting dress itself looks quite ordinary, but with accessories it will sparkle with new colors. Tie a beautiful scarf or snood around your neck, put on a bright bracelet on your hand, choose shoes that you like - half boots, sneakers, moccasins or ballet shoes.
Change the images as your mood requires. Do you want to be soft and tender today, to illuminate those around you with the inner light that has ignited future motherhood in you? Choose elements from lace, flowing silk, air chiffon and coarse knitting. Or do you feel elegant and confident lady? Then the wardrobe should include dresses of direct cut or in the style of empire, cropped jackets, shoes with a low and elegant heel - choose plain fabrics or with small unobtrusive patterns. Going for a walk or meeting with your girlfriends? Wear jeans and a loose shirt over t-shirts, leggings and a voluminous jumper or jumpsuit (in summer in cotton, in winter - denim), add bright accents with accessories.
5. Create layered outfits
Indispensable things for creating a stylish pregnant wardrobe - jackets and cardigans. They can be absolutely anything: knitted and knitted, jeans and cotton, shortened and long .... Dozens of options. The obvious advantages of jackets and cardigans for the expectant mother are that they leave freedom of movement, emphasize the tummy in a favorable light and make the image whole. Such things are perfectly combined with both loose and tight-fitting dresses, as well as shirts, turtlenecks, blouses, tunics. Just do not overload the image: for example, a combination of a voluminous scarf and a rounded belly will make the top too massive.
