Sexy Maternity Wardrobe Tips for the Expecting Mom

When it comes to pregnancy, a fashionista needn’t lose her sense of style. Mothers En Vogue – the sleek and sassy clothing label for breastfeeding and expectant mums – offers tips on looking your best …. and sexy too.

1) Evolve your maternity wardrobe as the pregnancy continues. Expect to invest in additional maternity top and bottom ensembles to fit your growing measurements. Always wear maternity clothes to fit you at each stage of the pregnancy. Don’t wear over-sized maternity clothing, you’ll just feel frumpy.

2) Consider transitional clothes. They’re great for the “early bump” stage when regular clothes aren’t comfortable and you’re not ready for maternity fashion, just yet.

3) Wear form-fitting maternity tees. Make sure they are cotton stretch so they show off your pregnant silhouette and can be very flattering for your belly!

4) Invest in a good pair of maternity bootleg jeans. Slimming and flattering, maternity jeans especially for the tropical climate or summer should be lightweight cotton denim with a bit of stretch.

5) Buy a couple of maternity capris in basic colours (khaki, camel , black or white). These are great co-ordinates with your fitted maternity tees.

6) Every woman needs The Little Black Dress, even during pregnancy! Get one in a slinky stretch knit fabric that drapes over your curves and makes you feel fabulous!

7) Wear colours! Don’t stick only to blacks just because you feel BIG! Colours represent your personality, make you feel and look different and are great mood influencers!

8) Be sexy by revealing some skin on special nights out. Try something strapless, backless or short. Tops with keyhole necklines are great as even if you’re feeling a little heavy a flash of skin will still make you feel like a yummy mummy.

9) Do remember your shoes. Flatties and low-heeled sandals (make sure they are chunky or broad-based heels for sturdy balance) need not be boring; think ballerina flats or bejewelled mules with broad-based heels for balance.

10) Upkeep your hairstyle, make-up looks and accessories. They are the finishing touches for that “pulled together” look.

11) And lastly, you look how you feel. Continue being active - a sense of well-being comes from within! Have fun with your pregnancy style because pretty soon, you'll be concentrating entirely on your little one!
