Fashion and pregnancy: what clothes to wear?

Everything you need to know about Maternity clothes, Our tips for looking your best!

Who says that "maternity clothes" have to be ugly? Certainly not us! And to prove you they can be pretty, here are our tips to feel beautiful, trendy and fulfilled, throughout these 9 months!

Pregnancy makes you beautiful, Mother Nature has decided to endow pregnant women with a great asset: a magnificent cleavage! It would be a shame not to emphasize this asset which also allows, neither seen nor known, to divert the attention on less flattering curves... The best techniques to sublimate your cleavage? Adopt a wrap-around t-shirt, or a V-neckline... And above all adapt your lingerie, so that it emphasizes - and supports - your new cleavage!

Vary the strategy according to the trimester of pregnancy

The first trimester of pregnancy, the goal is dis-cre-tion! Loose-fitting tops are your friends to hide your newborn belly. In the second trimester, you'll be in great shape and you'll be able to mix and match your casual clothes with more comfortable maternity clothes if you're already feeling tight. You will appreciate them anyway very quickly, in the 3rd trimester, their adapted cuts are essential to accommodate your full belly! The trick: choose clothes that evolve ""before and after"", designed to allow you to breastfeed if you wish... and because you will wear your maternity jeans for a few more weeks after the birth of your baby.

Being able to count on good basics is essential, especially for a pregnant woman! These clothes will be your allies throughout your pregnancy: take the time to choose those that are beautiful, comfortable and well thought out. The ideal selection? A pair of jeans, a pair of dressy pants, a dress, a skirt, leggings, and a few tops: blouse, T-shirt, tunic... Then, the idea is to mix and match! For example, a long tunic with a slim and a leather belt in winter, leggings in spring, and in summer the tunic can be worn as a dress.

Okay, you can stay trendy during your pregnancy, but you can't give up your comfort either! That's why you can thank Joseph Shivers, the 1959 inventor of elastane, a revolutionary fiber capable of stretching up to 600% of its size! So we prefer clothes with a little elastane, to fit your curves better and, as a bonus, dry faster after washing! Good to know: clothes made of "knitwear" (knit, jersey, ribbing...) are also naturally stretchy and comfortable.

No boredom allowed ! How not to get tired of the few maternity clothes you have? Thanks to accessories, they change your look immediately! A colorful belt on your black dress, a pretty scarf tied around your neck or in your hair, a necklace to liven up a basic t-shirt, and you're done!
