How To Build A Versatile Wardrobe Of Maternity Jeans And Other Stylish Items

By Adriana Noton


Finding out you are pregnant can be accompanied by a wide range of thoughts, fears and emotions. One thing that many women worry about is how to choose the right clothes that will keep them looking and feeling their best. Maternity jeans and other items can be combined into a great pregnancy wardrobe. Here are a few suggestions on how to accomplish this easily.

Many women worry that when they become pregnant they will have to change the way they dress. This may have been true in the past but it is not the case these days. Now an expectant mother can have her pick of many different designers in order to choose the styles and pieces that she likes best.

When a woman is pregnant her stomach will get larger. Some women do not have large baby bellies but others will. In many cases, a woman's chest will also increase in size as well and this trend may continue after the baby is born. This can be especially true if a new mother is nursing her baby since her breasts will contain the milk she will use to feed her baby. By getting clothes that can accommodate these changes, a woman can remain comfortable for as long as possible even when she begins to show later in her pregnancy.

When shopping for maternity clothing, it can be a good idea to start with clothes that are the same size as your pre-pregnancy wardrobe. This is because these pieces are designed to accommodate your changing figure but are otherwise cut to regular sizes. You may find that tops will be longer and that pants will have elastic panels or bands that can handle a stomach that will be getting larger and larger. If you are at all concerned, pay attention to sizing charts and be prepared to try a lot of pieces on.

Many women are trying to figure out how to get the most impact for their budget. If you are in this position you may want to think about purchasing separates that can be mixed and matched easily. Maternity jeans can be fantastic especially if they are in a dark wash. They can be dressed up and worn to work in many cases or dressed down and worn as casual weekend wear as well. Tops can be mixed and matched with many different pants or skirts in order to get the maximum number of looks from a set number of items.

By mixing in non-maternity pieces a woman can make her maternity wardrobe budget stretch even further. Although some pieces will not fit items such as shoes, scarves, jewelry and wraps will still be able to accommodate a pregnant stomach easily. If a woman wants to buy clothing that will suit her in early pregnancy and be able to handle a stomach as well, stretchy pieces that contain Lycra or spandex will be able to handle a growing belly and are a good choice because of this.

The range of styles available is making it much easier for women to retain their personal sense of style even when they are pregnant. Whether a woman likes clothing that is tailored and fitted to her body or she prefers to wear clothing that is looser and more flowing it is possible for her to dress in a way that she feels comfortable with. Even well-known designers are starting to produce lines of clothing for expecting women.

Many women use the internet to find maternity jeans and other items. This allows you to access a much wider range of styles and price points than you would be able to find by shopping locally. If you want to build a cutting edge wardrobe, you may want to think about your pre-pregnancy style or look through fashion magazines in order to figure out what suits your budget and preferences the best.
