How to balance a pregnant body. The pregnant figure looks best when you show there is a beginning and an end to the belly. For most women, a collection of co-ordinating separates is the best strategy. Go for quality rather than quantity.
our tips for a basic pregnancy wardrobe are:
T-shirtChoose a nice stretchy one with lots of room to grow.
Tank top or camiGreat for wearing alone in the summer or layering under shirts and sweaters in colder weather.
Tailored shirtPerfect for dressing up with a pair of pants or dressing down with jeans.
Cardigan or sweaterEasy to throw on at the last minute; a wrap style cardigan will fit your belly right up to the last moment.
Black pantsThese will go with everything! A wide-leg pant looks best on the pregnant figure because it balances out the tummy and you want to create balance. Choose a Capri style if you have slim legs.
Khaki pantsGreat for smart-casual or relaxing around the house.
Straight skirtThis style of skirt tends to be more flattering than a full skirt.
DressA classic black dress is perfect for going out, day or night.
Top tipsPurchase maternity wear in your pre-pregnancy size. If you used to normally wear a size 10 before you became pregnant, you should purchase that same size in maternity clothing, otherwise you could look oversized and frumpy.
oaternity fashions have become more form-fitting. Instead of hiding their belly, women are flaunting their full figures. In other words, don’t be afraid of stretchy tops and pants.
It’s important to have at least one outfit that makes you feel comfortable and confident. A sexy dress or black velvet pants and a swing top can make you look like a million dollars when you feellike a beached whale.
