The Modern Girls Guide to Maternity Clothes: Playing it safe No Taffeta, No Bows, No Kath & Kim (as much as we love your work girls....) Congratulations. You are having a baby. When your jeans don't fit and the mid-driff
won't do for work. Yes, it means its time to invest in maternity clothes. NO! we don't mean huge bows and tents. We are talking STYLISH and SEXY, yes you read
correct SEXY! Words not normally associated with maternity clothes.
This is a guide to take you through the next nine months feeling and looking
fabulous as well as enjoying those new curves. Stick to these and you can't go
wrong!!! RULES: Remember there are no rules, as long as you feel comfortable and look
hot!
Lets start with the most important tip;
CLEAVAGE: Make the most of your new girls. I know most of us have thought of
bigger boobs-gonna mean surgery, boy where we wrong! Wear tops and dresses that
accentuate your neckline. Invest in good bras that give plenty of support. FABRICS: When shopping for maternity clothes, comfort is the number one rule.
Jersey is the pick of choice, it feels great, looks great and is going to stretch
and grow with you.
SIMPLE: Build a maternity clothing wardrobe with core pieces such as denim, wrap dresses and
long sleeve or short sleeve tops depending on the season. These pieces can be worn back with
pashminas or cardigans that already reside in your wardrobe. Remember the fit of
maternity clothes should be to flatter your curves and not hide them.
ACCESORISE: Fantastic shoes, colourful handbags and original jewellery can
really make an outfit, when it comes to either dressing up or down.
SKIN, HAIR, NAILS: Isn't fabulous how many people comment on how you look when
your pregnant!-wish they would pay that much attention normally!
Your hair is so shiny and thick, skin-who needs blush? and those nails so
strong. Use this as time to treat yourself, go and have a blow dry or that
manicure that you keep meaning to.
It will make the world of difference, all these little things that will make
you look and feel a million bucks.
MUST HAVES FOR BEING STYLISH: Maternity jeans. Any woman will agree when buying regular jeans they have to be fantastic, so this should be the case when pregnant. This
will be one of your most important purchases towards your STYLISH maternity clothing wardrobe.
Designer jeans are definetly the way to go. Such brands as Paper Denim Cloth and
Paige, that come in different washes and styles.
Little black maternity dress. A black wrap dress is also a must have, dressed up or down
its going to be there for you and beyond pregnancy as well. Who doesn't need
another little black dress?
Maternity Tops: weather Summer or Winter, a few quality tops in core colours are going
to be your best friend. Mid -driff is really not a good look. Well there you have it! The playing-it-safe guide to maternity clothing. Article written by the very wonderful Emma Clarke.
