Pregnancy doesn’t mean you have to put your style on hold. In fact, some of the easiest and most attractive looks are based around comfort-first clothes that really show off your developing bump. When I was pregnant I realized pretty soon that the appropriate attire makes all the difference in how you feel. When I wore clothes that were comfortable and flattering, I felt confident, more energized and eager to enjoy each step of the adventure.

If you need some maternity clothing inspiration that blends fashion with utility, these beautiful pregnancy clothes are ideal for everyday wear, breakfast dates, baby showers, vacations and everything in between.

1. The Neutral Knit Dress + Leather Jacket Combo

A ribbed cream knit dress coupled with a brown leather jacket makes for a chic but comfy ensemble. The fitted silhouette really shows off your bump nicely while the jacket gives structure and balance.

I enjoy the combination for coffee dates or a casual city day since it feels sophisticated but not too much work. For an upgraded look, try for gold jewellery and large sunglasses.
