10 Helpful Hacks to Make Your Wardrobe Maternity Ready
The maternity section: that drab collection of shapeless clothes in an array of pastels and bland patterns. But trust us, just because you’re pregnant doesn’t mean you need a makeover of muumuus and stretchy pants. You might even have some of the things you need in your closet already! Get creative with what you buy, shop your own closet (and your boo’s too) to pull off flattering looks that will show off your bump instead of hide it. Here are our favorite hacks and staples to help inspire you to get your wardrobe maternity ready — in your own style.
1. Cecile Wrap ($199): Draped cardigans like this look lovely worn unbuttoned over a fitted tee or cami. Bonus points for a pop of color!
2. Bellaband ($28): Extend the life of your non-maternity jeans with this genius pregnancy staple. Just pull it over unzipped pants for a magical (and comfortable) transformation.
3. Men’s Shirts: Yes, raid his closet! Make his shirts your own by rolling up the sleeves, adding some elastic or wearing them unbuttoned with a cool tank. (via DIY Maternity)
4. Empire Waist Dress ($86): Empire waist pieces and loose-fitting dresses are your new BFFs. A sophisticated look doesn’t get much more comfortable than this, even if you don’t have a bun in the oven.
5. Slub Tee ($68): Slub tees allow plenty of room for a growing belly, and won’t suffer from as much stretching as more fitted styles would.
