maternity shorts- smartish?

[thehiddenpaw]

any ideas anyone. Nonw on M&S website and did not see any on Boden. Want smartish casual. Have sports ones that still fit. If all else fails, am still fitting in size 16 but would prefer materinity as nearly 7 months now. Have 3/4 length trousers and some tops sorted. Guess another option is stealing hubbys?
Spent very little so far so don't mind price

Next have some linen ones in black and White. I tried to order some myself but find their ordering process so ridiculous and annoying I gave up in a sulk and havs sworn never to visit their stupid website again (so no link )

There are quite a few maternity shorts and cropped trousers, in all sorts of styles, on the JojoMamanBebe webiste. I have just got These board shorts and they are fab.

You need to look under "Trousers" and under "Jeans".

Haven't tried them myself but I like the Isabella Oliver ones

I've got the Next linen ones which are lovely. They fit under the bump and were only £16 compared to most I'd seen that were more like £30!

This post won't help at all as I am not pregnant so therefore unable to recommend anything.

Last time I was pregnant a spell of hot weather took us all by surprise and at the time I was very heavily pregnant. I owned nothing suitable and all our local Mothercare had in stock were winter clothes. I ended up buying a pyjama set with shorts and wearing those. I was decidedly unimpressed.

I reckon the Next ones look nice. I'd love to wear them but I have to wear stockings for my varicose veins so that'd not be a good look

the next ones are lovely, really comfy as are their linen trousers, really great price too. i wore mine yesterday and today! fab.

I've just ordered these denim board shorts from New Look which look pretty good depending on how casual you want smart casual to be... Free delivery today too! :)

thanks everyone, appreciate the ideas. first stop Next! then maybe isabella ones
