Stylish maternity clothes that don't cost the earth!

[Pochemuchka]

I have no sense of style.

Maternity clothes are generally hideous or hideously expensive!
Please recommend some middle of the range sites/shops where I can kit myself out fairly easily
requiring no real effort or styling and cheaply for work and out of work looking after two toddlers.
I am starting to burst out of my work trousers, which is not a good look!

Thanks!

Oooh, I'm keen to find out some answers from other people!

Personally, I've found GAP to be quite good. Admittedly a very limited range and a lot of it feels very cheap, but one of my favourite outfits is some skinny cropped jeans and a chambray tunic shirt thing that came from there.

Otherwise sales - I have a lovely sleeveless top from isabella oliver that was on sale. It looks good with "normal" shirts or cardigans not buttoned up all the way down (well, whether this is a stylish look is probably debatable, but I like it well enough!).

Only twice have I found a non-maternity item that suits. I found a size XXL belt at Hobbs that was 70% off that I love, and a Jaeger shirt that was £160 and I got it for £30!!! Probably no-one else wanted it as it was soooooo baggy at the front.

I would recommend buying a couple of dresses from www.seraphine.com.

The dresses are 50ish but they wear great and will save you buying lots of cheap stuff that looks awful

I cannot recommend H&M highly enough. Great range instore unlike others who only seem to stock.online.

Great prices and a lot of their non-maternity tops are very long so fitted over my bump all the way through. I found the leggings and the tights perfect.

Thanks for the recommendations.

I'm very jealous, vegemite as I don't have the shopping skills to put together outfits and always seem to just miss out on sale items due to my aversion to shopping

Am going to have a look at the websites on my lunch break. Was hoping to get most of it sorted online as I'm not loving the idea of maternity clothes shopping with my little darlings in tow!

Does H&M have a bigger range instore Gnocchi? It seems to have a fair bit online anyhow.

If anyone can recommend somewhere to get a coat I'd be very grateful as I can't do any of mine up and the weather is a tad unpredictable at the moment!

My local H&M had two or three walls plus three big stands and a couple of those single metal stands full of clothes.

Never really compared it to online as I much prefer to shop 'in the flesh'.
