THE Maternity Capsule Wardrobe

BOTTOMS

Maternity Jeans

Jeans are a must-have for most maternity wardrobes. Having 2 pairs is a good place to start. Look for jeans with a soft, stretchy material. Whether you choose a jeans with a maternity over the bump panel or under bump panel is down to personal preference. I personally tried both types but preferred the over the bump jeans. Jeans can be dressed up or down, making them perfect for errands, work (depending on dress code), or casual outings.

Tailored Pants

Tailored Pants offer a polished look for work or dressier occasions. They can also be dressed down with a t-shirt and sneakers for a more casual vibe. Black is known to be slimming, which can be a confidence booster during pregnancy.

Maternity leggings or Joggers

These are your go-to for ultimate comfort and relaxation. Maternity leggings are perfect for lounging at home, running errands, or light exercise (depending on the style).

Skirts

Swap your leggings for a skirt to create a casual or work appropriate outfit.

TOPS

Tees

Maternity tees are a staple for a relaxed and comfortable feel. Look for soft, stretchy fabrics like cotton jersey that will drape nicely over your bump. Tees can be worn alone for a casual look or layered under a cardigan or jacket for added warmth.

Tank tops

Tank tops are great for layering under a cardigan, kimono, or jacket to create different outfits. You can choose from basic tanks to more flowy tanks if you like more feminine styles.

Blouses

From classic button-down shirts to feminine blouses with ruffles or peplums, you can add a number of blouses to your capsule wardrobe. These can be used for work or for more dressier occasions.

‘One and done’ maternity capsule pieces

“One-and-done” pieces like wrap dresses (flattering, adjustable, dress up or down), midi dresses (comfy, stylish, relaxed fit with tie or empire waist), and jumpsuits (easy throw-on, dress up or down in soft, stretchy fabric with tie or empire waist) are perfect for every maternity capsule wardrobe. They are comfortable and make dressing up a breeze.

LAYERS

Sweatshirts

Sweatshirts are a must-have for lounging or running errands. Look for styles with a relaxed fit that will accommodate your growing belly. You can also include 2 sweaters with discreet nursing access for easy breastfeeding once your baby arrives.

Cardigans

A long cardigan is a great layering piece that can be worn over dresses, tanks, or tees. Choose a neutral color like black, gray, or camel so you can easily mix and match it with other pieces in your wardrobe.

Jacket

Many non-maternity jackets can work during pregnancy with a little creativity. Look for oversized styles or try layering a shorter jacket over a longer top.

Other essential items

Pregnancy Bras

Invest in comfortable and supportive maternity bras that will grow with you throughout your pregnancy. Look for soft breathable fabrics, and easy clip-down closures for nursing access after birth.

Bump Support

I think Belly bands or support belts are really essential especially if you suffer from back pain or discomfort. It can help alleviate back pain and support your bump, especially as your pregnancy progresses.

Hope these ideas help you put together a lovely pregnancy wardrobe that keeps you looking and feeling good.
