1 PAIR OF JEANS + 1 PAIR OF SMART TROUSERS
The right choice:
High-waisted with a band or low-rise with an adjustable elastic band, choose an adaptable style. As for the cut, stick to your style: straight (for everyone), bootcut to lengthen petite and curvy figures, boyfriend for slender figures, or slim, ideal under a top or tunic. Just avoid skinny, which is too tight.
Fashion tip:
Note the big comeback of very cool dungarees, and very glamorous jumpsuits. Choose a V-neck, in a soft fabric, easy to put on and take off.
1 DRESS
The right choice:
A simple and feminine dress. Flexible and low-cut, it will enhance your figure and adapt over the months. Not too long (it can shorten your silhouette), ideally above or at the knees; not too wide (it hides your shape and makes you look bigger). To avoid looking (or making others think) you're always wearing the same dress, vary your look with accessories: belts, shoes, hats, jewelry... Anything goes!
Fashion tip:
Wear with wedge heels, which will slim the silhouette without making you lose your balance.
2 TUNICS
The right choice:
Neither too wide at the shoulders nor too short (to cover the belly all the way through), choose one that is pretty and feminine. Accessorized with a long necklace, it will boost the look of jeans, a dress... Check that it is machine washable and doesn't need ironing! Because you will wear it - very! - often.
Fashion tip:
Now is the time to indulge in a floral or geometric print, which are very prominent this season.
1 CARDIGAN
The right choice:
Essential, the wrap cardigan is the ultimate basic. In addition to enhancing the décolletage, it can be worn directly on the skin or over any small top, and will simply adjust as the months go by. Very fashionable this season, the long cardigan to leave open. Long, flowing, in soft and fine knit, it elongates the silhouette when worn over close-fitting clothes.
Fashion tip:
The long cardigan or the sleeveless jacket.
1 PONCHO
The right choice:
In a lovely knit, it's truly the comforting item that will follow us everywhere, both in the car and during summer evenings. It will also be very useful for wrapping baby.
Fashion tip:
To accentuate its boho chic style, wear it over close-fitting outfits and accessorize it with a hat or a long necklace.
1 SWIMSUIT
The right choice:
Whether you swim all year round or are planning a sunny getaway, a maternity swimsuit, like lingerie, is essential. For the bust, breasts have gone up one or two sizes and need good support. To be comfortable and hide the brown line that has appeared on the belly, choose one-piece swimsuits or two-piece bottoms + tie-up tops to adjust as desired.
Fashion tip:
Dare to wear blue, green, purple... and prints, the stars of the season!
1 BELT
The right choice:
A simple jersey band or an adjustable fabric or leather one, it should be rounded to properly fit your new curves. Comfortable and reassuring, it can be worn under the belly to enhance it, or above to create a lovely Empire silhouette.
Fashion tip:
In soft leather in a basic tone (beige, brown, navy, white...), it adds chic to any outfit.
Also: 3-4 basic tops (you'll continue to wear them after childbirth), tights, leggings, pajamas and a nightgown, not to mention lingerie!
