Running my own clothing business has given me a great excuse to buy and read all the glossy fashion magazines. They don’t say a great deal, if anything about maternity wear but what they do say about fashion can be applied to your maternity wardrobe.

You don’t have to lose your sense of style when you become pregnant. It is possible to find fashionable maternity clothes and ones that aren’t being worn by everyone else.

It seems that almost every High Street shop has at last realised that pregnant women want more than a smock dress and elasticated jeans. The maternity clothes in Top Shop, Dorothy Perkins, etc are great but you are going to see many a bump in the same piece. At Bumpalicious Maternity we know that you can find more exclusive and trendy maternity wear without having to pay exclusive prices for it.

This season’s trends that can be applied to maternity wear and your pregnancy are:

-       colour blocking your clothes with bright even clashing tops and bottoms;

-       choose items with lace in them (this season’s big thing);

-       pretty bold, floral prints;

-       maternity jeggings or leggings for trendy pregnant legs;

-       go for metallic eye make-up and a safe dusky fake tan;

-    a pretty pashmina or cardigan for the cooler Summer evenings;

-       choose one of this season’s signature perfumes such as Jo Malone’s Sakura which is a gorgeous cherry blossom fragrance with soft mimosa and citrus undertones; and

-       gladiator sandals are still a big thing and great for those swollen ankles.

You really don’t need to lose your sense of style because you are pregnant!
