So here are a few tips; mommy make some space your maternity wardrobe is expanding:
- Invest in multi-purpose items: Maternity clothes that can be recycled should be a must buy. Invest your money in sustainable clothing while being pregnant such as empire waist dresses that can even be worn with tights and as a churidar post-pregnancy, kaftans and poncho tops for lounging at home and two to three formal occasion tops that have room for the bump.
2. Invest in undergarments and sleepwear: Comfortable undergarments and loungewear is a must to buy when planning to expand your maternity wardrobe. Opt for tracksuits or pants in a lightweight stretch jersey for comfort wear. The cotton will stretch, but consider buying a size or two bigger than normal. Try to have well-fitting undergarments for better support.
3. Accessorise well to look chic: Yes, a pregnant woman is not comfortable with heavy jewellery but who says minimal is not chic?

Beads, bangles, bags, watches, headbands, scarves, vibrant dupattas, stoles, shawls and shoes, the possibilities are only as limited as your imagination. Keep it minimal but classy.
4. Reinvent and recycle: Your maternity clothes can be recycled in many ways. Do not think of throwing away your dresses. Try to mix and match a few things and you’re all set. Be creative and try styling your dresses in multi-ways.
