Maternity Clothes Checklist

Recommended

Drawstring pants The great thing about drawstring pants is that you may already own a pair. If you don't, purchase a pair in your regular size (or near it). Just don’t cinch tightly and they’ll expand with your belly. Plus, you might be able to wear them postpartum!

Elastic-waist skirt Here’s another great item you might already have. A skirt with an elastic waist can last you throughout much of your pregnancy so long as it feels comfortable and unrestricting. Again, dark colors are best but don’t be afraid to punch it up with a print design or floral pattern.

Stretchy tops A great maternity-wear choice is long T-shirts made of stretchy material. Whether they are tank tops or long-sleeved, the stretchy material feels fabulous and shows off your bump without making you look huge.

Cardigans They lend tailored lines to otherwise-flowy outfits and will keep chills away in an office or supermarket—cardigans are a maternity wardrobe staple. If you don’t want to button or tie one closed, you can stick with pre-maternity sizes; find ones that cover your belly or in the maternity section.

Sweater and tank top combos Those cute two-piece ensembles look and feel great when you’re expecting. The tank top flatters your figure and the sweater will keep your warm. If you start to overheat, take off that top layer. (It’s good to wear layers when you’re pregnant as your temperature can shift drastically in a short period of time.)

Maternity support hose Not only do they keep your legs looking shapely, but maternity support hose can drastically reduce the occurrence of varicose veins. Plus, some hose can help support your tummy and back, keeping you in prime posture and feeling good.
