How to choose the right maternity clothes?

Choosing your maternity clothes can be much more complicated than it seems, especially when you are expecting your first child and you are already overwhelmed with information about babies, pregnancy, medical consultations, etc. Don't panic, I'm here to help you and advise you in your maternity shopping!

First of all, there is no specific time to start wearing maternity clothes, as soon as you can't stand your favorite jeans anymore, it's time to invest.

It takes comfort, comfort and more comfort!

First, turn to COM-FORT-ABLE, this is the golden rule of maternity clothing, it must be able to follow you all day and all pregnancy. Pay attention to the tension of the support band (neither too tight nor too loose), pay attention to the materials: that they are soft on the skin (more sensitive during pregnancy) or that the seams do not bother you.

Then, we talk about comfort and practicality, but that's no reason not to treat yourself to some pretty pieces that are adapted to your growing belly. Choose two or three quality pieces that you like and that you'll never get tired of wearing!

Pieces in which you feel good and at your best. Today there is no shortage of choices and variety of maternity clothes: dresses, skirts, shirts, blouses, sweaters... everything is possible so choose what you like and what will accompany you until your due date.

Finally, regarding the choice of size, again no stress it's very simple: you take your usual size! The clothes are designed for your belly so no need to take two sizes above!

Finding pieces that make us smile

Be careful though, it is considered that beyond a weight gain of more than 2kg per month you are no longer in your usual size, in this case you will have to try in order to find the size that suits you.

In summary, I recommend one or two pairs of maternity jeans, a few basic and comfortable maternity t-shirts like the Elise maternity top for everyday use. And to go out and treat yourself, a pretty maternity dress, why not the Salins dress and a blouse or a maternity shirt like the Verneuil tunic .
