Pregnancy is no longer associated with boring maternity dresses as women are getting increasingly fashionable and bold. You can complement yourself with outfits that make you feel comfortable yet still very stylish by getting a bit creative. Here are some simple yet very effective tips to stay stylish even when being pregnant.
Stylize the Basic Clothes
The first step towards looking fashionable is to have the basic clothes on hand. Don’t ignore your old clothes completely. To work on your growing bump, buy some stretchy knits or flattering cuts instead of the traditional maternity outfits. A cute, comfortable and stretchy v-neck sweater made of cotton-blended fabrics is a great choice. Get clothes to mix and match with your existing wardrobe. Combine the traditional and comfortable maternity clothes such as the basic maternity dresses, a lycra tank top, leggings and maternity jeans with something fun and fashionable to define your own sense of style.
Slim Down Your Silhouette
Wearing clothes that are bigger may seem a convenient option to hide your size, but all it does is to gift you a bulky look. Instead, prefer snug over bulky and choose some skinny pants, snug-sleeved tops and button-down shirts or blazers left unbuttoned. Knits that take the original form of your body while stretching comfortably, look quite feminine and beautiful. If that doesn’t work for you, wear a men’s shirt with a fitted T-shirt or tank underneath paired with jeans or leggings. This attire works as a wonderful blend of the classic and modern fashion with a pinch of sexy look.
Grab Some Accessories
Picking the right accessories can make you look amazingly stunning during your pregnancy as these are great to create a focal point and work really well if you wish to conceal your bump. There are days when you feel cranky, exhausted, or simply uncomfortable. Wear something that you find comfortable and simple such as a black dress or a top and leggings in those days. To add that sense of style to your simple outfit, grab the most attractive handbag in your closet, a cute necklace and your favorite earrings or bracelet. It is best to go for a long, layered necklace or long scarf.
Bring in Bright Colors
Make color an element of your closet in the maternity months and don’t confine your options only to blacks, dull and neutral tones. If you don’t want to go for lots of color, just get a bright pullover over your shoulders that complements a light colored or black outfit. You will not only look stylish and radiant, but will also feel more joyous wearing clothes that are lustreless.
Throw on Pretty Shoes
Some nice and attractive shoes can add an instant charm to any outfit. Try some slingbacks or a pair of open-toe sandals if you’re not planning to be on your feet all day. Also, being pregnant does not imply that you cannot wear heels, rather you definitely can go for the right shape and the right type of heels. Wear such heels that provide you the right lift and don’t require you to compromise on the posture or the weight of your belly. Avoid extra high or spike heels.
