Curvy Style

It’s much more flattering to show off your belly than to hide it under layers of clothes.
 

1. Show some cleavage! You'll have the bust of your lifetime, so you might as well take advantage of it. Scoop-neck tops work very well on a pregnant woman.
2. Longer-fitting shirts and blouses work well, as do tunics, stretchy tanks and tees.
3. For the first few months, you can wear your favorite skirts a little higher on your stomach.
4. Dig out your looser-fitting pants, preferably the ones that are a size too big. They'll work well during the early stages of pregnancy.
5. Unbutton the top button of your pants, and conceal the open button with a longer top.
6. Empire-line tops and dresses and stretchy, soft jersey clothes are flattering, and readily available in ordinary high street shops.
7. Choose snug over bulky! Wearing bigger clothes to hide your size may sound like a good idea, but it contributes to a bulky look. Instead, slim down your silhouette and emphasize the features that aren't expanding with snug-sleeved tops, skinnier pants, and button-down shirts or blazers left unbuttoned.
8. Try soft knits that stretch to fit your form - they're sexy and feminine.
9. Wear your partner's clothes. Long-sleeved oxford shirts worn tied and rolled up over a fitted T-shirt, tank or camisole can be a sexy maternity clothing alternative.
10. Look for skirts and trousers with elastic waistbands. Drawstring bottoms also work well. You can choose to wear your clothing over the bump or below it, the first option is the most comfortable.
11. Blazers and cardigans from your prepregnancy wardrobe can be utilized by wearing them unbuttoned.
12. Wear a classic duffel coat during winter. It's wide and roomy, and goes well with both skirts and trousers.
13. Buy a great pair of maternity jeans. You can get fashionable and well-fitting maternity jeans from designer brands like Seven For All Mankind, Juicy Couture and Earl. Or you buy them at a major fashion chain store like H&M. The right pair of jeans can be dressed up or down, depending on your needs, and make you feel stylish and up-to-date.
14. A couple of maternity tank tops in neutral colours are  guaranteed to come in handy. They can be layered under the looser-fitting sweaters, shirts and tops that you already have in your wardrobe.
15. Maternity tops with halter-type necklines are also very flattering. In most women, the neck and arms look the same throughout the entire pregnancy, even though the rest of the body changes shape.
16. Wear a poncho. It's fashionable, warm and stylish, and accommodates your growing belly.
17. Skip the underwired bra. A thick shelf bra or a sports bra is healthier when your bust is growing.
18. Go for bold accessories on top, like a colourful scarf or a big piece of jewellry. Anything that accentuates the shoulders and bustline is very flattering.
19. Work the hippie look. You'll be perfectly stylish in free-flowing ethnic skirts, kaftans and yoke dresses that accommodates your curvy body.
20. Be colourful! Don't limit yourself to wearing black and neutrals. Throw a sweater over your shoulders to complement an all-black outfit.
