When a woman finds out she is pregnant; she has many concerns, one of them being how to dress for the following month and beyond. This is because many issues need to be resolved, such as the changes in the body and the feelings of a woman facing pregnancy. If you’re also finding it hard to stay stylish while pregnant, especially in fall and winter, here are some essentials to help you look your best!
1) Wear Clothes That Accentuate Your Strengths
Are you assuming that you can’t be stylish while pregnant in winter? You couldn’t be more wrong. Of course, simple things like wrap dresses and T-shirts are the best for pregnant women in summer. But fall clothing can also enhance the belly without weighing down the rest of the body. The secret is to mix and match garments well.
Contrary to popular belief, pregnant women do not need to cover up much during the colder months. This is because the body temperature rises by about 1 degree Celsius during pregnancy, making you feel less cold.
2) Maternity Jeans
Many people think that you are only allowed to wear soft clothing once you have a baby. In fact, this is a false myth. Stretchy dresses and tops are essential for fall pregnancy, but that doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to jeans. On the contrary, denim can be your greatest ally.
If you are in the early stages of pregnancy and do not yet have a belly, you can still wear your favorite jeans. All you need is an elastic band to place over your waist so your pants won’t be too tight. An extra tip? During pregnancy, you may suffer from “water weight gain,” which causes your legs to swell. For this reason, we recommend choosing jeans that can accommodate the change, such as stretch jeans. On the other hand, in the mid and late stages of pregnancy, maternity jeans that are not tight on the legs are recommended.
If you prefer a comfortable style, you can wear boyfriend jeans.
3) Maxi Shirts
Maxi shirts are a pass-along part-out that can be worn in any season. Not only do they tidy up without the need for styling, but wearing them allows you to be fashionable at any time of the year. For fall, opt for a flannel maxi shirt that goes well with leggings and a maxi belt.
4) Jersey Dresses
You probably have more than one in your wardrobe. Jersey dresses have several advantages. First, they are generally affordable, so you don’t have to raid your piggy bank, even if you end up buying a new one. Second, they are stretchy and fit both small and large bellies. This means that you can enjoy these garments throughout your pregnancy. Not only that, but you can also wear them in the months following delivery. Jersey dresses do not require styling and are easy to maintain. Pair them with low-heeled boots to look your best when the weather gets colder.
5) Maxi Pullover
A jersey one-piece is certainly fabulous on a late fall afternoon, but it might be a gamble to wear it in the colder months; for the December-March period, you have two options. On the one hand, a soft, cozy wool dress; on the other, a timeless maxi-length pullover. These garments have one thing in common: they can be combined with pregnancy tights or thermal leggings, and their properties allow them to be used for several months!
6) Outerwear
The last trimester of pregnancy can be really stressful. For example, as the baby’s belly grows, you may be unable to do simple activities such as tying your shoelaces or buttoning up your coat. The solution is to wear a maxi-length cardigan that can take the place of a coat. Unlike coats, cardigans do not require buttoning, which saves time and improves health. Ponchos are also interesting alternatives that offer solid protection without being bulky.
