If you are an expectant mother who is trying to put together the best winter wardrobe, here is a list of nine essentials that you will make you feel stylish as well as comfortable.
1. Leggings or Black Tapered Leg Jeans
If you love to flaunt your baby bump in long sweaters or tunic tops, then this is the perfect winter attire for you and your baby. Forget about sweats and pajamas and instead opt for black leggings that go nicely with long shirts. If you are wearing a blouse, try out tapered jeans in black as these will make you appear slender and chic.
2. Open Front Cardigan
When the temperature starts to drop, be sure to purchase an over-sized, open front cardigan made of cashmere fabric. This will keep you nice and toasty during the cold season. Mix and match this front cardigan with colorful tanks underneath and your favorite leggings and you will soon be the center of attention wherever you go.
3. Printed Blouses with Long Sleeves
If you want to add extra spark and elegance to your winter wear, be sure to purchase a printed blouse with long sleeves that provide you with enough warmth and style. Team up these printed blouses with jeans, skirts and leggings, and viola! You have the perfect outfit to step out and enjoy the day. If you are wearing the outfit to work, throw in a cardigan or blazer and your maternity wear will instantly become workplace-friendly as well.
4. Long Sleeved T-Shirt
One thing that you surely cannot do without during winter is a long sleeved tee which you can wear with just about everything in your closet. Opt for dark colors as these will have the ability to be mixed and matched. And for cooler mornings, wear the t-shirt under a sweater to add layering and comfort.
5. Cowl Neck Tunic Sweater
One of the greatest things about cowl necks is that they never seem to go out of style and have an evergreen charm and elegance about them. Moreover, with the right cowl neck tunic sweater, you won’t even need to wear a shirt inside as these will provide enough warmth all on their own. Style and warmth aside, one reason why mothers-to-be love wearing cowl necks is because they help balance your figure by evening out the effect of your bump. So pair up your cowl neck with leggings or jeans and add a pair of stylish boots to your outfit to create a stylish profile that will look modern and chic.
6. Sweater Dresses
Going out for a quiet night out with your significant other? Dress up in a sweater dress. Not only will it make you feel comfy and cozy, but it is ideal for days as well as for nights. To complete the look, pair your sweater dress with colorful or solid colored tights and bring out the diva in you.
7. Maternity Jeans
Your pregnancy winter wardrobe will not be complete without a pair of good quality denim that you can wear for the next few months. Therefore, shop around and look for a pair that will flatter your figure and maybe even stretch along with you.
8. Printed Scarf
Winter calls for some fun printed scarves that are perfect for accessorizing your outfit. Nothing says chic like a printed scarf that is either wrapped around your shoulders to keep you warm or tied around your neck. The best thing about this particular accessory is that you’ll be able to use it even after your pride and joy has come into the world.
9. Jersey Knit Dresses
Finally, even though you can’t wear your favorite pair of sweatpants to the office, you can always opt to wearing a knit sweater that feels almost as good as your nightwear. Jersey knit dresses will hug your figure without being too tight and you’ll fall in love with yourself when you pair it up with tights and a pair of comfortable and stylish booties.
