Clothes For Pregnant Women To Wear

During pregnancy, comfort is a major priority. Most expectant mothers like to look good as well. The majority of women do not begin to show until they are at least four months along, so you may be able to use your non-maternity wardrobe until then. After four months, however, you will need maternity tops. Baby doll tops and wrap around tops are both functional and fashionable.

Fabrics that stretch and breath are the best to buy. Also make sure you buy tops that absorb moisture as this will help keep you cool during the sweltering months of summer. If you buy a top that irritates you, this can cause itching in the abdominal area and this in turn can lead to pregnancy marks that you do not want.

Baby doll tops are the perfect way to cover your growing waistline without sacrificing style or comfort. With the extensive variety of styles and colors, you can find the perfect match for jeans, slacks or skirts. There are long sleeved and sleeveless versions, as well as every length in between, that are suitable for each season's weather. Baby doll tops usually have an empire waist that seems to float along the frame and adds the illusion of length and slimness to the torso area. It is a fashionable choice that beautifully highlights and flatters the entire frame.

Wrap tops are great for the plus size woman. They are very figure flattering, comfortable and stylish. These tops can be worn during pregnancy and afterwards. Plain colors are more flattering than a top with a complex design. Patterns and designs tend to make one look larger. Cotton blend is the most comfortable fabric as it is nice and airy in the hot summertime. A wrap with an adjustable tie is great when you are pregnant as you can adjust out as the baby grows. You can adjust the tie to be smaller after the baby is born. These tops are appropriate for all occasions such as work or a night out on the town with friends. The wrap top, as the wrap dress is very popular and a must for your wardrobe.

Do not forget the seasons once you start building your maternity wardrobe. If you are pregnant in winter and the winters in your town are very cold, buy yourself turtlenecks that are comfortable but not clingy. Look for one in a dark gray color or black. Once the thermometer starts to rise and the sun is burning brightly in the sky, make sure you have some tee shirts to keep you as cool and breezy as possible. If you like tank tops then purchase ones with wider shoulder straps as the thinner straps are likely to dig into your skin and bother you, as you get bigger.
