Pregnancy Style + Maternity Outfit Recommendations
I am by zero means a “fashionista,” but I will say that I have found a few maternity gems this pregnancy. IMO, less is more + you really don’t need that much. The most important aspect — COMFORT! + of course, embracing your cute bump era!
#1] Maternity Jeans: I bought Hudson maternity jean shorts this time around [comes in 3 colors!] + I’m so happy I did!
#2] Loose Fitting Rompers: Yes, yes, yes. I bought these rompers on Amazon per a friend’s recommendation + it was my go-to, especially in the summer. Comes in a million colors. I prefer the shorts romper [I got it in black + green!], but I also got the long pants romper in red. I also really like this Beyond Yoga jumpsuit.
#3] Overalls: What is it about pregnant women + overalls that is just so cute?! I love my Ali Golden overall jumper in indigo — also comes in green, brown, black + white! Check them out here.
#4] Cami + Cardigan: My favorite combo while pregnant when the weather gets colder. I love the Mate The Label camis [I sized up] + Free People cardigans.
#5] Pregnancy Workout Tank: This Beyond Yoga maternity tank is the only actual “maternity” item I got [+ the maternity jean shorts!]. I love how it hugs my belly.
#6] High Waisted Shorts + Leggings: Lululemon align high rise shorts + Beyond Yoga spacedye shorts are my fav. As well as Lululemon align high rise leggings. I tried out Beyond Yoga’s maternity leggings + I really hated them [they kept falling down!]. What I found worked best for me was simply ordering a size up in “non-maternity” high waisted shorts + leggings, especially in Lululemon.
#7] Comfy Big Tees: This may be obvious to most people — but I surprisingly had no big tees pre-pregnancy…. most of my tees are cropped [which still looks very cute pregnant!]. I ordered a few basic tees from Mate The Label + love them!
#8] Joggers: Love the Beyond Yoga spacedye midi jogger [this one is especially nice for hugging your belly!] + Vuori performance jogger [so cozy!]. I got my normal size for both + they work perfectly!
#9] Dresses: Especially if you are pregnant in the summer, dresses are THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Easy, comfortable, + so cute!
#10] Cozy Sleep: Highly recommend getting yourself a new pair of pjs that you love [I love Eberjey!], cozy socks, + slippers. Sleep can get so uncomfortable while pregnant, so trying to get as cozy as you can is key.
#11] Bras: Chances are, your boobs will get a lot bigger in pregnancy! I had to get all new bras [both sports bras + “normal” bras]. I wanted to try things on in person to get my sizing right — so I went to Lululemon + Nordstroms [love wireless bras from Skims] to figure out my favorite fits! Postpartum bras are a whole different story… I share more about that here.
#12] Renting Clothes: I haven’t done this, but especially if you are going to a wedding [or just want more “trendy” clothes] — check out the maternity section on Nuuly. You can rent up to 6 items every month!
If you have fav pregnancy outfit recommendations, I’d love to hear! Let me know!
