Ways to keep your style during pregnancy

It's hard to dress nicely when you're pregnant, especially if you're in your later trimester. Although pregnancy is a very beautiful thing, and women are even more beautiful during this period, it is no secret that it is uncomfortable. Wearing your own clothes can work for a while and sometimes it seems easier to put on something quickly rather than taking the time to stick to your personal fashion sense. But you will feel better if you keep your own style. Here are some ways to maintain your style during pregnancy.

Buy stretchy tops or oversized tank tops Buying stretchy or bulky tank tops can help you stay unique, even during pregnancy. Tank tops are comfortable, come in many colors and sizes and can often be found with bold edgy prints on them.

Coats and jackets to wear over tops If you don't want to show off your belly, you can help camouflage it by wearing a jacket over your top. Jackets work well in the cooler months and sometimes aren't the best option if it's too hot, try a thin cardigan over a tank top for an extra layer.

Wear pants that are below the waist
This is the time when you want to pull out those low-rise or hip pants, especially if you don't want to buy maternity pants. Remember, this will also depend on how low you wear when you're pregnant, but many women can get away with this.

Leggings with skirts
Pairing leggings with skirts can give you more support and coverage even during the third trimester.

Buy clothes with at least 5% spandex
If you buy clothes with at least 5% spandex, it can stretch around your pregnant belly.

Airy dresses
There is nothing more comfortable than a breezy dress while you are pregnant, especially one that has a little extra room for your tummy to grow.

Turn short dresses into tank tops
If you are a fan of tops, but you don't want to buy new ones, you can use your shorter dresses as tops during pregnancy.

Shirt dresses
Shirt dresses are always in style, especially when you're pregnant. The extra long tunic top ensures that your entire stomach is covered.

Strong accessories
If you're having a hard time finding clothes that fit while you're pregnant, try sprucing up your outfit with some fun accessories.

Nice prints
Play with prints while you are pregnant. Wear items with stripes, colorful prints, a skull and flowers.

Ballerinas
Like all shoes, ballet flats come in many different styles. While you may want to wear your favorite pumps, it's better to keep your feet on the ground during pregnancy to give your feet a break.

Leg Warmers
Legwarmers paired with a dress can keep you warm during the cooler months, while creating a bit of an edgy look.

Wide belts
Place a wide belt just above your stomach to accentuate the beauty of your pregnancy.

Maxi dresses
Long or short sleeve maxi dresses are definitely for the more daring, but if you want to show off your pregnancy there is no better way.
