Dressing while pregnant isn't always easy! You might be wondering how to maintain your style during your pregnancy without compromising your comfort and budget. Don't panic! We're here to give you all our advice!
Keep or reuse your clothes
Before rushing to the shops or entering your card online, sort through your wardrobe. Some of your favorite pieces, like blouses, sweaters, long dresses or skirts, and even jumpsuits and overalls, may be suitable for your changing figure. You can also use trouser stretchers or extenders to wear your favorite pants for longer.

If you're going to invest in new clothes, we recommend choosing clothes that you can wear throughout your pregnancy and even after giving birth. You don't have to buy only maternity clothes; you can also buy classic clothes made of stretchy fabrics or oversized cuts that will remain fashionable after the baby arrives.
For underwear, we recommend choosing collections made from stretchy, comfortable materials, such as the SoftStretch range from Chantelle, which is designed to fit all body shapes and allows you to wear it for longer.
Where to buy maternity clothes?
Nowadays, almost all major retailers offer a specialized range for expectant mothers at relatively affordable prices. However, if you have the means, we recommend investing in higher-quality clothing from ethical and eco-friendly brands.
If you're on a budget or don't want to spend too much, second-hand clothes are still the best option for updating your wardrobe! You can find clothes on Vinted and Leboncoin, or on specialized maternity platforms such as Feetroquette , Little Ones and Brands , Fripe ta Bedaine or Beebs .
It is also possible to rent your clothes through a subscription box system like Le Closet .
Choosing the right materials for optimal comfort
Comfort is paramount during pregnancy, so we recommend opting for soft, supple materials like jersey, cotton blends, viscose, and knits. Cotton, linen, and bamboo allow for good air circulation, which is essential for your well-being. Also avoid synthetic materials like polyester, which can trap heat and moisture and cause discomfort.
Planning for breastfeeding
If you plan to breastfeed your baby, consider purchasing specially designed clothing that you can wear during and after pregnancy. Don't hesitate to invest in comfortable nursing bras that you can wear right from the start. Button-down shirts and dresses, as well as tops or sweaters with zippers, make breastfeeding easier, ensuring style without sacrificing practicality.
