How to Rock Maternity Clothes in 2022
This year we are all getting out of the house and ditching the sweatpants we have worn away too much of for the past two years.
With the world beginning to open up again and there being real reasons to go outside of the house, new trends and styles are emerging that allow us to fully embrace the ultimate comfortable yet cute style.
And this applies to all that are pregnant this year too. There has been a significant baby boom over the last two years, with no signs of it really slowing down anytime soon. So the chances are that you too will be rocking a baby bump in 2022.
But long are the days were the news of pregnancy meant having to forgo your own personal style. In fact, maternity clothes have never been as trendy as they are today. And it has never been easier to fully rock your own style while pregnant than this year.
To help you really rock your own personal style throughout the next nine months of hatching a baby inside, we’ve rounded up the top style tips from other expecting mothers, celebrity stylists and brands that have invested heavily into creating their own stylish maternity clothing lines.
1. Layer, Layer, Layer
When it comes to flaunting new curves, it really is all about the layering that can make or break an outfit that is trying to work with a baby bump. In fact, one of the most stylish ways to wear maternity clothes is to have fun layering.
Some top ways to do this include pairing a floral skirt or maternity dress with a mid-length trench coat. The extra layers will help you not only manage your internal body temperature (which goes crazy when pregnant) but also pull off a timelessly chic look.
Best of all, layering your maternity clothes helps you feel extra comfortable and fabulous. We could all use it with a bit of extra comfort in our lives—whether pregnant or not. And layering lets us achieve just that, no matter the style or occasion we are dressing for.
2. Get Tight and Confident
While many women feel like they need to go for the more loose-fitting maternity dresses, you can equally totally own the space of a maternity dress that flaunts your baby bump. We actually think that nothing is more adorable than fully showing off the baby inside of you that is preparing to hatch, with many maternity dresses designed to help do just that.
Best of all, these maternity dresses made to be extra snug are equally comfortable and help flaunt off the rest of your beautiful body as well. These tighter maternity dresses also are perfect for layered outfits, with a more flowy jacket or sweater working perfectly in this scenario too.
3. Rock the Sweater and Skirt Combo
Playing to the layering theme we discussed earlier, one of the best ways to rock maternity clothes—especially in time for fall—is to pair a cozy sweater with a chic skirt. This look works whether you are pregnant or not, with the emphasis being placed on comfort.
The sweater and skirt combo can be made even chicer by pairing with boots. And it can equally be made casual by pairing with athletic sneakers. Regardless of the footwear you choose, we can almost guarantee you will love rocking the sweater and skirt combination during every season of your pregnancy.
4. Keep the Colors Consistent
Another fun way to rock maternity clothes is by going for the monochromatic color scheme in your outfit. This means that your matching outfit will, have the same color scheme from top to bottom, giving your baby bump a chance to make your physique look slimmer.
This look is especially appealing to those women that are more conscious of the fact they have a baby bump and may want to hide it. The solo color allows you to hide what’s hatching inside in a stylish and sleek way.
5. Embrace the Sweatpants
Let’s get one thing straight—you can still be stylish while pregnant in sweatpants. Just because they get a bad rap by some does not mean that you can not, in fact, rock the sweatpants whenever you want. These are the ultimate form of comfort and many trendsetters who are not even pregnant are still rocking this style.
There are many sweatpants and yoga pants that have been designed by top brands and done so in a stylish way. You can go for the complete athletic leisure look or even pair it with a trenchcoat to make it more athletic-chic. The choice is yours, as sweatpants are extremely versitatile in 2022.
6. Have Fun with Accessories
There are many ways to highlight your own personal style in addition to wearing maternity clothes. For example, you can take a simple maternity dress and easily glam it up with scarves, necklaces, handbags, shoes and even hair accessories. One of the most important rules with maternity clothes is to not lose your own personal style in the meantime.
There is no such thing as losing your own personal identity and style while pregnant. Accessories are a great way to ensure just that, as these supporting pieces work with you no matter what stage of pregnancy you are at or how big your baby bump is. So have fun putting together your maternity style! And wear what makes you feel great.
7. Go for Maxi Dresses
One of the most simple style tips for rocking maternity clothes is to go for maxi dresses. No matter how short or tall you are, these full-length dresses work for nearly all body types and come in a range of styles and patterns that match many personal preferences. Maxi dresses work as stand-alone, can be enhanced through accessories and work when layered with jackets as well.
Conclusion
Rocking your own pregnancy style is easy with these seven tips. So have fun putting together your ultimate wardrobe for the next nine-months, knowing you can embrace each phase of pregnancy in style.
