The second and third trimesters of your pregnancy are when you really begin to “show”. These are also among the most beautiful months in your and your partner’s life, as you begin to prepare for the arrival of your little bundle of joy. Hopefully, at this point, you’ll be over the morning sickness and perpetual sleepiness that accompanies the first few months of pregnancy, and raring to do a whole lot more – and it’s natural to want to look your best at every occasion.

Say no more because we have a whole bunch of cute maternity outfits for you that prove, on this occasion, that more is definitely more!

1. The ‘baby-makes-three’ date night dress  

You want to pull out all the stops, so go with classic black or always-haute red. Pick flowing silhouettes that are simple and chic, without too many fussy details that bulk you up.

2. The glam ladies’ night ensemble

Ladies’ nights are all about casually thrown together chicness, and what better than a metallic poncho with sequins, draped over maternity skinnies? You may have to limit your beverages, but don’t stint on the canapes, we say. 

3. The ‘bloating, what’s that?’ brunch outfit

Keep it light and breezy in a bright maxi dress or a tunic in pastel, day colours. While your girlfriends struggle to disguise their food-babies, you can sit back, relax and knock back however much you want without judgement – ain’t that great?

4. The ‘spotlight is on me’ baby shower style

You’re the queen of the day, so why not glitter? Pick a pastel, flowing dress with embellishments, or opt for a statement neutral like navy. Don’t forget glam heels and oh of course, your tiara!

True maternity style does not involve larger sizes of regular clothing but dressing to accommodate and celebrate your changing body. Make sure you pick comfy, flowing, breathable fabrics too – especially in summer. Happy bump shopping!
