BRING BABY.
I mean, if we’re real, it’s pretty gross AND expensive for the most part. Am I right?
Sure, there are SOME cute maternity brands – like HatchBut overall from what I’ve heard (& experienced myself), it’s very difficult to dress stylishly for pregnancy.
Since I find it difficult and my team members find it difficult to find clothes during pregnancy, I wanted to put together a list of JOBS. For us, anyway.
Love how my team and I can connect on things like this, then bring them all to you as a resource for the blog. Now, full disclosure, I have the help of stylist Emily Lafitte. Check out her IG @emilylafitte. She just understands. I actually email her ideas & boy can she deliver, all the time.
All right, let’s get to it right away.
A must-have pregnancy fashion that has really saved my butt:
DRESS ( Skims all the way)
Almost everything Skims is a YES to me, and that applies to pregnancy as well. They’re neutral, pretty, comfortable, and one of my favorite pieces is a dress with an oversized blazer. My favorite dress is this one tank one & this long sleeve. Ao dai is sold out in many sizes but here is a similar oneor this looks like it would be flattering too. Black or neutral is the move here (almost all Skims do).
RECRUITMENT
LIVE IN THIS. Every pregnant woman should know about the armor. You can wear them with felt coats, trench coats, high heels, white sneakers, felts tied around the waist, cute sandals, slippers, LIKE RUN AND GET SOME if you’re wearing them. pregnant. They have a lot of options but my favorite is Kate. They also have tight, fitted dresses like Skims.
TEAM
Like I said above, Hatch has some cute stuff and sailor is a staple for me right now. They’re so comfortable, but you still look the same. Another love that I live is this Enza Costa t-shirt.
This Long Sleeve Shirt from Amazon is another target. They are of good quality, very stretchy, beautiful and comfortable. If you’re looking for shorter-sleeve t-shirts, Hilary from my team lives in this for both of her pregnancies (reduce size if you want it tight).
If all else fails, just get a pack men’s white teesthrow a flannel over it and call it a day.
BRAS
For me, Skims bras only work whether I’m pregnant or not. They recently debuted nursing bras so i thought i would try those. It’s no secret, I have giant cannons (LOL), so if you have fake boobs or just really big ones AND you like a helmet I recommend Suitable for everyone t-shirt bra.
Some other maternity bras my team recommends:
+ Bravado Body Silk Seamless Strapless
Pants
Most pregnant people like to be comfortable and so do I. Pregnant jeans just don’t scream COMFORT to me. HOWEVER, with Zaza I love 7 for all mankind Jeans. They’re comfortable, stretchy but also fit like a glove and make you feel really sucked in. But like you can move. For this pregnancy, I picked up the dresses above and some pants/sweaters that we’ll get to in a minute.
Around the house I lived in the runner, tight pants, Plaid PJ pants or Oversized men’s sports pants.
A few quotes from my team: Lulu Lemon Align Leggings, H&M’s MAMA skinny jeans (cheap, thin, comfortable and washable – not the best quality but they will prolong your pregnancy).
♡ CLASSIC COLORS, CAPTS & CHANNEL
Like I said, these go perfectly with body-hugging dresses and jumpsuits. The jacket that I love is currently sold out but here it is a similar one & some affordable scams this & this.
Is felting an important factor in pregnancy? These clothes look more comfortable and cute than the tight ones. I have this is from acne in heavy rotation but also this from Amazon in several colors. Men’s shirts also work well. Steal your SO or follow this & one cute silk shirt from Zara.
Some new favorites Emily has for me: this jacket & vegan leather jacket (& bonus, it’s on sale right now!!).
SHOES
+ Lola Cruz Rika Sandals (comfortable if you need to dress up)
+ Slideshow Bottega Veneta Lido (you’ve heard me rave about these – worth the investment)
+ white sneakers (like walking on clouds)
+ slippers & Ugg booties (every other second of the day)
OTHER PIECE I LOVED
+ Cult Gaia pink long knit cardigan
+ buttercream sweater with a slit in the center (you may have seen this on my IG), paired with ribbed knit pants. They are sold out but these people Aimee Song’s looks cute and so are this.
♡ MORE IDEAS:
+ big t-shirt with bicycle shorts
+ Smash + Tess rompers
(I’ve tried these and they didn’t work for me. That being said, MANY pregnant people can’t stay silent about them. Infatuation and infatuation. I wanted to add them to this list because if you’re struggling to find cute outfits these might work for you.)
I put all these or their deception in Amazon Store for you, so all in one place. What am I missing? Sure, I’ve found some things that work for my stylist, but I’ll need more to wear postpartum within 3 weeks (With Zaza, I’ve lived this robe ). God, it came so fast.
Let me know what I have to get below.
