What Maternity Pants To Wear

For many women pants are the biggest challenge to dressing when they are pregnant. Finding the right pants that fit right and look good on is the first step to putting together an outfit that styles for the office or out on the town. Here are some general suggestions to coordinating pant and trouser styles with tops and accessories to achieve the level of dressiness or casualness that you desire and without sacrificing style.

Navy Plaid pants are always the perfect office pant and a good way to mix it up with the usual black stretch pant that all pregnant women seem to reach for the minute they are showing. Navy combines well with a bright hue sweater or top. Pair them with some bronze flats and you are both comfortable and stylish. Accessorize with a cool bag and hoop or drop earrings and you are ready to go. Accessories can go a long way to dressing up and styling up any basic outfit. There’s no reason for pregnancy to make you frumpy – so don’t skimp on accessories just because you have a belly accessory

Wide Leg trousers are another versatile look that can take you from the office to an evening out or a casual day with girlfriends. Your top will determine your level of dressiness along with your shoe. A more fitted top always looks good with the wide leg style as it balances out the volume created in the lower leg for an overall slimmer effect, even with your baby bump! Wide Leg trousers paired with leather pumps and a classic cardigan are perfect for the office. Change to a sexy top, and you are ready for an evening out.

Leggings are back to stay and can be worn in so many ways. Bella Band makes some ultra comfortable maternity leggings that can be dressed up or down. Leggings can be layered under a skirt or dress. They are great with a mini skirt and higher hemlines. They also look stylish when paired with an extra long cardigan or top. With leggings you can handle more bulk in your top selection as you create a slimmer look on the bottom half. They can be worn with flats, boots of all lengths, or pumps. Leggings are the ultimate in versatile chic and are suitable for nearly every venue and season based upon how you dress and accessorize around them.

Cropped pants are now a year round favorite pant for both maternity and non-maternity. Pair them with a high boot for added warmth and style or a platform heel for a bit of sass. Crops come in all cuts, colors and fabrics. You can wear a nice wool/poly blend cropped pant to the office paired with a fitted top and blazer. For a more casual look, wear a cropped jean or cropped cord with a casual top and flat. Crops give you a real chance to show off your shoe, so whether you are sporting a pretty ballet flat or a patent leather pump or a zip up leather heeled boot, make sure your shoes look good! Also, crops give you a chance to showcase some jewelry or accessories as you have less bulk on the bottom half, you can spice it up on the top.

Drapey relaxed trousers with pleats are easy to fit and wear when you are pregnant. Trousers with a drawstring tie can be worn either over or under the belly and can be easily adjusted to fit your growing tummy. Both poly/viscose and cotton/viscose/linen fabric blends work well for that effortless casual look. Pair softly draped kakis with a flat soled leather fashion sneaker and a sporty tote bag and you are ready for the day. This look is also on the mark for a casual office Friday. Relaxed trousers in a navy or black allow for a dressier look and can spotlight other elements of your wardrobe such as pretty open toe pumps or a sequined top.

There are plenty of pant options in maternity clothes today. Find the waistline fit that is the most comfortable and flattering for you and invest in a variety of colors and styles of pants so you are not grabbing those same black stretch pants 7 days a week but mixing it up with today’s trendy maternity pant styles.

During pregnancy, vulvar varicosities can occur for many reasons.
