iii. Maternity Clothes: Finding trendy maternity wear is another big challenge that many women face during pregnancy. Particularly striking a balance between price and style. Many of my pregnant friends, particularly petite ones, are forced to purchase from brand names which is just insanely expensive for something you’re only going to wear for a limited time. With the baby dolls in style, many women have chose to purchase them for maternity wear. After digging around, I found some great styles that I’ll share here.
FUNMUM
Funmum.com, a British brand, offers maternity clothes from casual to formal wear. I think they are one of the few brands that actually offer great style at a reasonable price. I’ve actually purchased their tops in the past and the material is super soft and comfortable. Because many of the styles are stretchy and soft, they can be worn even after pregnancy. Their style varies by season and the summer line below actually wasn’t as good as last year’s fall/winter design.
ISABELLA OLIVER
Isabella Oliver is one of the few trendy and chic maternity brands that I’d come across in the US. They are also among celebrity favorites and you can see who’s wearing Isabella Oliver here. And with style and celebrity support, comes a high price tag. Prices for tops could easily run over $100 a piece but if money is no object for you, they have a great selections to help you stay chic and stylish while pregnant. They do have some styles that are reversible so you are getting two looks for the price of one.
TONYCOHEN
Tony Cohen is an Amsterdam-based designer who creates feminine fashion that’s breezy and chic on a minimalist palette. Although not intentional for maternity wear, the breezy and ruffle looks have been chosen as alternatives to maternity tops/dresses. Here are some of his designs and his lines are available in local boutiques.
L’AVENUE DES BEBES
l’avenue des bebes is a French brand currently without a presence in the US. They do, however, ship to the US. I’ve purchased their tops in the past and have mixed feelings about their products. The tops sometimes look better in the picture than in person so with an international purchase, exchange or returns are tough. However, they do have some cute pieces and here are some styles from their summer collection. I think sometimes it helps to use the model as a reference for what to wear too.
