How to look fab when you are pregnant!
The First Trimester:
This is the time when you feel the happiest. You’ve just got
the news that you are pregnant. You’ll start getting extra care and loads of
love from the hubby dear and from the family and friends as well. In the first
trimester, wear all your favourite and chic clothes. You’ll start gaining
weight for sure but remember it’s just the start.
-Get yourself some new bras as swollen breasts compliment
pregnancy.
-Flaunt your heels, wedges, stilletoes or whatever you wish
to. But take care, if your pregnancy is a delicate one do not dare to wear
heels!
The Second Trimester:
By this time you have realised the mess of morning sickness.
Your body has also changed itself. You have gained weight and the bump is also
slightly visible, and in case there are twins, everyone can appreciate the
bump. Now what to do? Should you quit being stylish? Should you sit at home?
Should you wear those baggy clothes? NO is the answer.
Cheer up! It’s time to go shopping. Get yourself some
new clothes.
-New bras for the bigger breasts. Get the specially designed maternity ones. Avoid the ones with wires or synthetic fabrics as they might not give you the extra comfort you need.
-Get some new panties as well for bigger hips.
-You can also invest in a maternity support band that you can strap around your
bump. They are designed to take the strain away from your lower back preventing
back aches.
Now, the styling. Show the leanest area of your body. Like
if you have thinner arms, opt for sleeveless dresses. Lycra dresses tend to
take the shape of the body very well and can be a long term investment. In case
your legs are your style mates, go for capris, hot pants, shorts or skirts.
- A well fitted T-shirt looks chic and stylish and shows
your baby bump well. It shows how much happy and comfortable you are with your
pregnancy. You can compliment it with a biker’s jacket and boots to add to the
style statement.
-But in any case, you want to hide your bump, opt for
tunics, silhouette, wrap dress, boot-cut stretchy jeans, Empire-waisted
garments, bold and dark colors, jackets, etc.
-In this stage avoid using high heels. Use flats of orange,
blue, yellow, green and other happening colors to add to your style. Low and
comfortable heels and wedges can be used if your pregnancy is not a critical
one but I always advise flaunting flats, bellies, shoes and canvas. Invest in a
good, comfortable pair.
The Third Trimester:
These are the last 3 months and you have to take very good
care of yourself. Remember, loose clothing can make you appear bigger than you
really are. Long or short fluid dresses are life-savers throughout the long
nine months.
-Invest in Empire-waisted maxi dress. It can make you look slimmer and more
graceful.-Go for bold accessories, big but light weighted ear rings and neck pieces. Opt for bold colors as the can also help keeping your mood on the higher side. Go for chic ballet shoes.
Tit-Bits:
·
Invest in quality materials. You need them for your
post-pregnancy weight as well.
·
Do step by step shopping, as the clothes you buy in
the 10th week might not fit you in the 15th or 20th.
·
Borrow clothing from friends and family that are a
similar size to your pregnancy stage.
·
Don't wear underwear that cuts into skin, or man-made
fabrics, such as under wired bras, as they can interfere with developing milk
ducts.
·
Nowadays designer clothes are available for pregnant
ladies. Office wear, casuals, party wear and so on. Go for online shopping if
you don’t have a shop nearby.
·
Enjoy being pregnant. Experiment with style! Be confident, carry the bump gracefully.The newbie is about to come ;-)
