At Saturday Vibes, we believe that pregnancy is a time to embrace your changing body and celebrate your unique style. As your bump grows, it can be challenging to find clothes that are both chic and comfortable. But fear not! We're here to share some tips and tricks to help you stay stylish throughout your pregnancy by making the most of your existing wardrobe and adding a few key pieces.
Shop Your Own Wardrobe for Maternity Fashion
Before you head out to buy a whole new wardrobe, take a good look at what you already own. You’d be surprised at how many items can still work for you during pregnancy. Loose, flowy tops, stretchy pants, and jackets can be perfect for accommodating your growing bump. Look for tops and dresses with empire waists or A-line cuts, which provide a flattering fit and plenty of room for your belly. Shopping your own wardrobe not only saves money but also helps you maintain your personal style.
Build a Capsule Wardrobe for Pregnancy
A capsule wardrobe is a collection of essential pieces that you can mix and match to create a variety of outfits. Focus on versatile items that can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. Think neutral colours like black, white, and grey, as well as some fun prints and vibrant hues to keep things interesting. A well-curated capsule wardrobe will make getting dressed each day a breeze and ensure you have stylish maternity options at your fingertips. Combining clothes you already own with a few new pieces tailored for pregnancy can be a good way to go.
Select Pieces for Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, and Beyond
While I'm not pregnant here, the stretchy waistband on these pants meant that I could wear them for a large part of my pregnancy, and were a stylish and comfortable option after I had my baby.
Investing in clothing that can transition from pregnancy to breastfeeding and beyond is a smart way to make the most of your wardrobe. Look for tops and dresses with buttons or zippers that allow for easy breastfeeding access. Wrap dresses and tops are also great options, as they can be adjusted to fit your changing body. Choose pieces that are stylish and functional, so you can continue to wear them long after your little one arrives.
Invest in Key Maternity Wardrobe Pieces
While you can make use of many items you already own, it’s also important to invest in a few key pieces that will enhance your maternity wardrobe. A high-quality pair of maternity jeans with an adjustable waistband, a stylish and supportive nursing bra, and a couple of chic dresses can make a world of difference. These pieces will provide the comfort and support you need while keeping you looking fabulous. Remember, it's all about buying a few key pieces to supplement what you already have.
Embrace Colours and Prints in Maternity Fashion

Pregnancy is a time to have fun with fashion, so don’t shy away from bold colours and playful prints. Bright hues can lift your spirits and make you feel more vibrant. Floral prints, stripes, and polka dots can add a cheerful touch to your outfits. Mix and match different patterns to create unique and stylish looks that reflect your personality.
Accessorize to Elevate Your Maternity Look
Accessories can make a huge difference in your outfits. Statement necklaces, scarves, and hats can add a fashionable touch to even the simplest maternity clothes. Plus, they can draw attention to areas other than your bump if you want to create a balanced look.
Confidence is Key in Maternity Style
Finally, the most important tip is to wear your confidence! Embrace your changing body and enjoy this special time in your life. When you feel good, it shows, and you'll look even more fabulous.
