Don't want to buy new clothes if you're pregnant? Read about one woman's experience of only wearing her own clothes, 40 weeks in.
Keep It Bumping — Though this might sound counterintuitive, I found that the bigger I got, the more I craved body-con clothes. I had dresses that I used to skip over because they were too unforgiving, but guess what? There’s no hiding my belly now. Wearing looser silhouettes makes me feel like a tent, so I’ve been sticking to sleek body-con dresses (that still have stretch — blood flow is important!). Cotton jersey T-shirt and tank dresses make me feel sexy, which I’ve found is something that’s been more important to me lately than before I was pregnant.
Blake Lively feels me on this one.
Black As Backup — I’ve been wearing a lot of black dresses in a bunch of different cuts, and feel so chic in them. I love topping them with a looser black sweater or an unzipped leather jacket on top.
In the Trenches — Lightweight trench coats are great during pregnancy, especially if you want to feel more covered up (I bought my first one when I started showing). In the first trimester, I wore my trench like a dress; in the second trimester, I started tying the waistband behind my back to give my bump center stage. Toward the end of the third trimester, I tied the band right above my waist to showcase my silhouette. I purchased one in beige and one in black, and have been wearing them constantly.
Kim Kardashian knows her way around the flowy — not frumpy! — silhouette.
Create A Waist — For those items that aren't skin tight, I try to accentuate my waist with a small belt, or choose garments with high-waist drawstrings. I try to avoid low waistbands or anything with front buttons — they look like (and feel like!) they’re hanging on for dear life.
Rose Byrne cinched her breezy maxi with a buckle belt.
Maximize the Maxis — Maxi-dresses are super cute on preggos, but I always try to make sure that it's cut in a sleeker silhouette that fits my form. Wearing oversized items just makes me feel like I’m wearing a tent. To really lay it on, I play with slits. This way I can show a little skin, without looking like I’m trying too hard, or feeling like I might slip out.
Nicole Trunfio takes advantage of a long hemline and a high slit.
Give ‘Em Heel — There’s no reason to give up your heels and wedges throughout pregnancy if you lived in them beforehand. Just make sure you’re listening to your body and doing what feels right. Don’t feel like you have to switch to ballet flats all-day-every-day as soon as you get the news.
