Maternity Wardrobe Essentials
Fashion is heading in the direction of "fewer better clothes". Similarly, dressing for maternity can be done on a budget when you focus on purchasing a few good quality simple but classic pieces that you can mix and match to vary your look. You can achieve your capsule maternity wardrobe by thinking about what pieces you will wear most and invest in those first focusing on basic colours such as black, ivory, navy, grey, brown and nude colours that can easily be matched with other colours in your wardrobe.
The basic maternity essentials that you will need are:
- a classic white or ivory maternity shirt
- a good pair of black maternity trousers
- one or two tailored maternity skirts
- one or two colourful maternity tops
- the quintessential little black maternity dress
With this selection of separates you can mix and match your pieces to create a versatile wardrobe.
If you're planning on having more than one child, remember, quality is important. All too often women on their second child pull out their maternity clothes from the first looking a bit shabby and worse for the wear. It's better to invest once in a good maternity wardrobe rather than twice in a lesser quality one.

Maternity Work Wear
As a general guideline, w women's coats hen it comes to dressing for the office, career oriented mum's to be, should stick to their normal office wear making a few modifications for their maternity. In certain professions such as lawyers, bankers and accountants, a more formal appearance is required and a maternity suit in colour that says 'take me seriously' such as black, navy, dark brown or gray is a must have.
The Little Black Dress – Always elegant, classic and smart, a black dress made for maternity is perfect for the office, a smart dinner, evening with friends or elegant events out during your pregnancy. A good maternity dress is ideal for showing off your figure while also feeling comfortable. Look for maternity dresses that are either tailored or invest in a good maternity wrap dress .
Maternity Shirts – When deciding on maternity tops, longer tops work especially well, gracefully hiding your growing tummy without drawing attention to it. In particular look for cotton shirts in a stylish but sophisticated style, wrap shirts and elegant tunics. Silk tunics are ideal because they offer a pop of colour with a touch of luxury.
Maternity Suiting- If you're used to wearing suits to work, there is no need to stop when you're pregnant because a good suit creates the perception of a competent professional. It's also important to have a power outfit for those special meetings, client engagements and presentations. It is now possible to find beautifully made maternity suits that are tailored and made from appropriate suiting fabrics.
Maternity Trousers - Wide-leg maternity trousers look best on taller woman while smart tailored trousers are best for women who are shorter. The ideal maternity pant should have an adjustable waistline that is completely hidden so no one can ever see any embarrassing stretch panels while you're giving a presentation in a board meeting.
Maternity Skirts – Your maternity skirts should match your suit jacket and be hemmed at mid-knee or below. Maternity pencil skirts always look smart when paired with a blazer or jacket creating an attractive and professional silhouette.
Maternity Blazer or Jacket - Never underestimate the power of a suit jacket. The jacket is the most versatile piece of maternity business wear that you can have in your wardrobe. With the right jacket you can dress up or down to suit the needs of your personal preference and the degree of casual or professional attire you need to wear to the office.
