Looking to master maternity style? Forget frumpy, these fail-safe outfit formulas will see you through pregnancy – and beyond.
Whether you’re looking to dress your bump for a summer holiday, spring wedding or to the office, we’ve taken inspiration from fashion insiders on how to look chic and stylish as a mum-to-be.
FOR VACATION
Hot destinations can feel uncomfortable at the best of times, let alone whilst pregnant. Breathable fabrics like linen will be your best friend, such as co-ordinating shorts with an elasticated waist-band and matching shirt, which you can wear together or solo, layered over a swimsuit. Light-weight cotton dresses are great for dressing bumps – Sleeper’s off-the-shoulder shirred style is a particular favourite for mums-to-be.

FOR EVENING
A figure-hugging dress may seem daunting when pregnant, but these stretchy styles will show off your bump, and jersey fabric is particularly comfortable. Sophisticated styles from TOVE are perfect for evening occasions and are a great investment postpartum too. When a dress is simple, pair it with low-heel sandals and statement jewellery to take the look to new heights.

FOR THE OFFICE
Dressing for the office can feel tricky when pregnant, especially when comfy leggings and body con is a mother-to-be’s best friend. But for the days you need to look polished in workwear, a boyfriend-cut shirt with stretchy trousers (Toteme’s side zip leggings are known to be a winner) with a smart, belted coat will ensure you feel put together. Relaxed tailoring with a cashmere sweater, like this suit from LouLou Studio will work for corporate environments.
