Oh, sure, it’s a miracle. And of course you’re all aglow. And it goes without saying that you’ve never been so happy in your life.
But none of that changes the fact that being pregnant means you can’t fit into any of your clothes. And the last thing you want to do is haul your newly gained pounds around the mall. So here’s a roundup of the best online maternity-clothing resources for every type of mama-to-be. Don’t let the fact that you won’t be wearing these clothes for more than a few months stop you.
It never has before.
Stylin’ Mama
Impending motherhood does not have to mean you commit yourself to potato-sack schmattes that pass for maternity wear. For trendy
tops, bottoms, and everything in between, check out
naissancematernity.com (all the rage in L.A.). A winter favorite: the Nine Months thermal tee.
Rock-Star Mama
Pumpkin Wentzel was a rocker in her pre-baby days, which means she knows
how to pull off guitar-chick chic with a bump. Pumpkin
Maternity stocks items like
perfectly sleek cowl-neck sweaters and cigarette pants.
Classic Mama
Gap Maternity has great staples
like wrap sweaters and lounge
pants. For the
all-in-one approach, there’s Belly Basics’ pregnancy survival kit: a collection of interchangeable basics in one easy box.
Every Mama
Who doesn’t need perfect jeans? Let the Paper Denim & Cloths wait in
the closet. (They need the rest anyway.) Take a pair of adorable
Citizens of Humanity maternity jeans out for a spin. (They’re made by the peeps behind Seven.)
Thrifty Mama
Those who simply refuse to part with their vintage Levi’s should invest
in a belly belt. Attach it to any pair of
button-up pants and — voila! — instant maternity wear.
Fashion-Junkie Mama
No pregnancy is going to come between her and her penchant for of-the-moment styles. A Pea in the Pod has
a slamming selection of designers, like Diane von Furstenberg and
Chaiken. It even carries a seamless thong. Need more? Cadeau Maternity, the brainchild of two former Barneys employees, should satisfy even the most hard-to-please.
Sick Mama
Alleviate the horrors of morning sickness, dry mouth, and an achy back
with the handy remedies in Pink Confection’s Little Luxuries for
Pregnancy kit, which includes lollipops (for nausea) and a headband (for holding your hair back when, you know … ).
Sexy Mama
One blessed, wonderful word: cleavage. Those new curves will shock and delight everyone. (Most of all dad.) Susana Monaco’s tube tops show off just the right amount. And Juicy’s tube smock dresses do the trick alone or with jeans.
So good luck with the pregnancy. Now go stress about more important things.
Like getting your name on the preschool waiting list.
