Fashionable Maternity Clothing…Not an Oxymoron!

Not so long ago, maternity clothing consisted of Peter Pan collars and large bell shaped blouses that could hide a small family. Thankfully, those days are over. Maternity clothing has gone chic due in large part, to the celebrity baby boom. Designers clamber to get their fashions on the hottest women in Hollywood and when they sport a baby bump it is no different. With such stylish celebrities as Heidi Klum, Angelina Jolie, and Jessica Alba having babies it’s no wonder maternity clothing has developed into a more fashionable industry.

Finding the right pair of jeans can be a challenge pregnant or not and having a wider selection of denim to choose from when you are expecting is a blessing. Premium jeans are now available from such designers as Citizens of Humanity, Paige Premium Denim, Habitual and Bella Dahl. They have the same amazing fit but have an added jersey band or adjustable waistband to expand with a growing bump. Find the look and fit that suits you. The perfect pair of jeans will brighten anyone’s day and when you’re pregnant it is even more important.

Maternity tops are now more fitted than their predecessors. Blouses are constructed to be more flattering and the new look shows off a growing belly while eliminating that ‘tenty’ look. Olian, Japanese Weekend and Maternal America have all perfected the maternity blouse by using amazing fabrics that feel as good as they look. Blouses are now available in every color and print imaginable to satisfy any style.  While it is tempting to purchase non-maternity clothing that looks like maternity clothing, it is not designed for the specific changes that take place during pregnancy, such as increased bust size and an expanding belly.  These tops will be long enough to make it through an entire pregnancy when non-maternity tops just don’t afford that kind of growth. The new maternity tops are hip enough and end up being a much better value since they can be worn throughout the whole pregnancy, as opposed to a few weeks.

Even casual maternity can be chic. Pure T maternity has created the softest modal/cotton blend top you will ever own. The fit, again, is designed to show off the growing tummy and feature a soft screen process with inspirational sayings and quotes such as "Where there is love, there is life". These tops also transition into fourth trimester wear while the body recuperates from pregnancy. 2 Chix maternity has successfully created a novelty maternity tee line that is loved from Hollywood to the neighborhood. Their soft tissue cotton tees feature sassy sayings such as ‘Knocked Up’and ‘Babyfat’ and cute sayings like ‘What’s Kickin’ and ‘We’re Hungry’. Their tees are a hit everywhere they are seen.

Maternity designers are now on the front line of fashion industry, keeping up with the trends and staying focused on creating beautiful maternity clothing for women experiencing the most amazing adventure of their lives. Treat yourself to some of the amazing offerings in maternity clothing, you will look better and feel better.
