Capsule maternity wardrobe

5 replies

My last pregnancy I spent the whole time feeling gross and frumpy.

Help me put together an easy but stylish capsule maternity wardrobe please?! I'm trusting someone more stylish than me can help!

Following as I’m in the same situation!

Glad I'm not the only one @Jeffacake!

I'm starting by investing in some decent black maternity jeans - maybe seraphine but open to suggestions.

But always envy those people who can rotate 8/10 key pieces and think it's the best way to go during pregnancy as obviously don't want loads of stuff I can't wear this time next year!

I bought 3 (I think) pairs of nice maternity jeans; in particular a pair from H&M that I felt good in and some plain t-shirts then used cardigans I already had and scarves to make it all look a bit more interesting and vary things up. I also got a couple of tops I felt good in for going out for meals. I managed to stay in quite a few of my normal tops for a while by buying maternity vest tops so if a gap appeared it still looked ok and didn’t reveal my belly

H&m did my favourite jeans and I really miss wearing them, they were so flattering.
I had one maternity plain black work dress from the Isabella oliver sale that I could wear with diff scarves, necklaces, collars etc. That was super useful to have.

Tshirts, long shirts/tops and tights in the size up as PP suggests.
Maternity stuff doesn't get worn for long (if at all - I bought more than I wore) so I'd definitely recommend looking on eBay.
