Ask Rachel: Maternity Wear

Hi Rachel,

Congrats on your pregnancy! I myself am pregnant with my first child and need help finding fabulous maternity clothes! What are some stylish yet comfortable outfit ideas? Thank you and love you! – submitted by Jamie, via Submit A Question

Jamie,

Congratulations! Speaking from my current experience, being pregnant for the first time is an incredible journey. Figuring out what to wear during this time may seem like a small detail, but it can make a huge difference in your comfort and mood. Believe me! Let's discuss some outfit ideas...

As opposed to former generations, we are fortunate to live in a fashion-forward age that accommodates to style for every body, size and situation—pregnancy included. For example, both 1. 7 For All Mankind and 2. J Brand make maternity jeans (praise the denim gods!), which are a flawless starting point for a prego-chic look.

Other free form bottoms that are perfect for pregnancy are 3. leggings and 4. maxi skirts or full length dresses. Take your pick of the three styles and then you're ready to tackle the waist up! For tops, I recommend 5. long tunics, 6. flowy blouses and 7. ponchos to flatter your mom-to-be figure.

Shifting focus to footwear—my fave!—you can stay stylish yet at ease in a pair of 8. wedges or 9. flats. Create any combination from each category—bottoms, tops and shoes—and you will be pregnant per-fec-tion! xoRZ

P.S. One last thing! Don't forget to complete your modern maternity look by accessorizing with a big tote bag and a pair of do-not-disturb oversized sunnies to hide fatigue!
