Speaking with the C.E.O. of Trendy Maternity,Mrs Tosin Adedeji,she engages us on the importance and types of maternity wears suitable for the different stages of pregnancy.
Maternity wears can be expensive especially when you consider the fact that you will wear them for only a few months.
However they are necessary for comfort, for style and can be acquired without breaking your bank account. Don’t give in to the temptation to buy non maternity clothes that are a size or too larger than you normally wear; you will end up with ill-fitting clothes that aren’t nearly as flattering as properly tailored maternity wears. Designers make maternity clothes with extra fabric and details that keep you comfortable while flattering your body.
Each stage of pregnancy has its own style and comfort clothes. We would be discussing appropriate dresses for each stage of pregnancy.
We have 3 stages of pregnancy: the 1st stage aka the 1st trimester, the 2nd stage aka the 2nd trimester and the 3rd stage also known as the 3rd trimester.
In the 1st trimester of pregnancy, many people don’t want to divulge their growing secret until at least their second trimester. In your 1st trimester, it is advisable to put aside all tight and clingy wear; and to stick to silhouettes that flow over your belly, hips and thighs that can camouflage the few kgs you may gain in the first month. It is advisable to wear soft knits, A-line skirts, empire waisted tops and frocks, wrap shirts and dresses. In addition, a fitted top with waistband at the bottom but some roominess above the band.
In the 2nd trimester of pregnancy, you feel every few week you are a new size and don’t want to blow your budget on new clothes every month. You are advised to invest in a few items that will grow with you. Look for details like ruching, tie backs, buttons or gatherings at the side and wraps that you can adjust as your body grows and changes. Your boobs would probably be growing bigger, you are advised to invest in a few good bras; probably nursing or maternity bras.
In the 3rd trimester, you begin to feel huge and uncomfortable. An empire waist dress will be good because it is easy to throw on and you are good to go. A tunic over a maternity leggings will also be good. At this stage one may get bored of your current maternity clothes, but may not want to buy more; you can solve that by giving your wardrobe a boost of what you can wear after delivery.
list of maternity essentials or maternity must-haves:
- A black dress- this timeless and classic fashion staple will take you anywhere from a dinner date to an evening out with friends.
- A black jacket/bolero: this can be worn over gowns or camisoles
- A slim fitting skirt in black or grey
- Black pant
- Jeans pant
- Jersey knit skirt in a dark colour with a soft fold over your waistband. This will make you look polished and pretty; and you won’t feel constricted and will have plenty of ventilation for you fluctuating body temperature. A line flatters one and helps to balance a top-heavy physique.
- Tunic tops- gives plenty of room where needed. It accommodates the growing belly and helps cover the expanding hips and bottoms.
- Maternity tanks in a touch of Lycra or spandex. It expand with you while keeping your curves comfortably contained. Hip length is only not only flattering but allows a pop of colour to pop out beneath top layers
- Slip on shoes with no laces or buckles means no bending over you burgeoning belly. It is good to note that many women’s feet expand due to fluid retention and joint loosening (some never go back).
Being pregnant doesn't stop you from looking trendy,always let the beauty of pregnancy flow within you.
