Gorgeous!

Seasons are changing.

And so, it is time to slightly tweak our wardrobes to suit. Thankfully the transition from winter to spring doesn’t require too much of an overhaul and a couple of key pieces will work well as a base to mix and match items around. Success.

So if you are pregnant this coming season, get excited as there’s some utterly beautiful pregnancy clothing out there and we are taking inspiration from the catwalk to the high street to give you an accumulative list of 10 pieces we are picking up ASAP.

A smart casual shirt

Not only is a loose shirt comfortable to wear when you are pregnant but it is also perfect for talking an office look to a post-work dinner look. A simple tie above the bump like this Topshop shirt for €46.00 accentuates the waist and is also very figure flattering.

A maxi dress

As Spring has officially arrived and we are finally seeing a glimpse of sunshine in the sky, an ideal garment to have in your wardrobe this season is a maxi dress. Perfect for a weeding with a pair of heels or dressed down with a jumper and some ankle boots or yet again work it like Irish makeup artist Tara O’Farrell and theme it with some over the knee boots. This one is essential. ASOS €64.86.

Wide leg trousers

These are vital. Invest in a pair if you haven’t already as no matter what the season you will live in these. Opt for a pair that nicely hugs your bump too. It can be a case of trail and error in picking the right pair but we love these chic black ones from Jojo Maman Bébé for €46.

An oversized jumper

Who said that being comfortable couldn’t be chic? Not us. This seam stretch jumper from Topshop is ideal and theme it with a white shirt for a perfect mom-on-the-go look.

A black dress

A black dress is a wardrobe statement for any woman, but when you are pregnant and feel you might have less close to choose from as you grow another human being inside you, then you’ll find this will come in super handy. Try and opt for one that pulls together over the bump to maximise your shape and also to ensure it’s comfortable to shit in too. This one is €35 from Dorothy Perkins.

A swimsuit

Heading away on holidays this season? Well have no fear of dipping into the pool in this gorgeous polka dot tankini. How divine and €31 from Seraphine.

Over the bump jeans

Just like the above trousers, a pair of over the bump jeans are another essential for pregnancy this spring. Theme with your favourite runners and a warm knit to achieve a casual yet cosy look. These light wash jeans are €41.99 from Mothercare.

A good bra

A good bra that caters to breastfeeding is essential. We love this one for €29 from Topshop.

A pair of yoga pants

Be it for the gym or simply lounging around. These are another one of our “simply must-haves” and from Mamalicious for €29.99.

Tights

Last item on the list. Tights and PLENTY of them. Ones that are fitted with room for a growing bump are vital. Like these once again from Mamalicious and €19.95 for a twin pack.

Happy shopping!
