Shopping for maternity clothes is exciting. There are so many cute maternity outfits out there. When shopping, look for pieces that fit well, flatter your changing body, and meet your comfort needs.

Here are some tips to help you navigate the process:

Start with maternity basics, such as everyday pants, versatile tops, and dresses. Mix and match these pieces to create a variety of outfits for different occasions. Prioritize comfort and look for soft, breathable fabrics with stretch and give, like cotton, bamboo, and jersey. Look for adjustable waistbands and stretchy panels that accommodate your growing belly and provide flexibility and support. Consider your lifestyle when selecting maternity clothes. You may need to invest in a few work-appropriate pieces, or if you're more casual, choose comfortable, everyday loungewear.

Size up when you need to. Most maternity clothes accommodate your changing body shape, so you can often buy your pre-pregnancy size. However, as your baby bump grows, you may need to size up certain items. Try before you buy: Whenever possible, try on maternity clothes to check the fit, feel the fabric, see how it looks, and experience how the garment moves with your body. Invest in maternity undergarments. Supportive maternity bras and underwear can make a big difference in how your clothes fit and feel.

Maternity clothing that makes you feel beautiful and comfortable can enhance your lovely pregnancy glow. Ever-so-soft, healthy fabrics in styles that make you feel confident help you feel loved and cared for prepartum and postpartum.
