As the months go by, your belly rounds out, your chest grows, your body changes. Unfortunately, your clothes have not shrunk in the wash; it is your baby who is urgently requiring you to change your wardrobe. What size clothing should you choose? What materials should you choose? How to combine comfort and style? Discover in this article some tips for successful maternity shopping. From which month should I wear maternity clothes? Every woman and every maternity is unique. Some new mothers need to change their wardrobe as early as the second month of their pregnancy, others don't feel the need until the sixth month. However, for most women, we notice that the fourth month marks a real plateau. From this month onwards, pants generally become tighter and a real need for comfort begins to be felt. In any case, don't focus on a particular month or week, but on your feelings. Listen to yourself, if you are no longer comfortable in your old clothes, it's time to change them! What size should you choose for your maternity clothes? Select clothing in your usual pre-pregnancy size. If you are gaining weight gradually, there is no need to change size during your pregnancy. If you gain slightly more weight, we recommend adding an extra size for every five kilos above your normal weight gain. To choose your maternity pants, once again choose your regular size. A space for your growing belly has already been added to the pants. All maternity models are scalable and expandable thanks to an adjustable size system. How can I combine style and comfort during my pregnancy? There’s no point staying in your pajamas during your nine months of pregnancy. Choose pieces that make you smile and in which you feel good. During the first few months, you may want to hide your belly. Opt for an oversized look with baggy shirts, loose dresses and chunky knit sweaters. Throughout your pregnancy, the dress will be your best ally. A pretty long dress will lengthen your silhouette. Combined with little sneakers and pretty accessories, you will get a chic and cozy look! In summer, opt for natural materials such as cotton or linen. In winter, choose silk, wool and cashmere. Avoid synthetic materials to avoid allergies, irritation and perspiration.
