Dressing for the office is easy during your first trimester. A lot of your clothes will still fit, even if they are a little tight. Your second trimester is a little more difficult. Your belly has begun to grow to the point many of your outfits no longer fit comfortably. By the seventh month, you might have trouble seeing your feet much less fitting into the sleek and trim professional attire you once wore. Your body is changing quickly, and to keep from looking too sloppy at work your wardrobe may need a quick upgrade.
The good news is that you can dress comfortably without losing your professional image – even in your third trimester. It just requires a little savvy wardrobe planning. In this article, you’ll learn tips for looking great at the office during your last three months of pregnancy.
Reintroduce Suits To Your Daily Attire
Corporate America has taken on much more of a business casual air. Companies in every industry have encouraged their employees to move their suits to the back of their closets. When you’re not pregnant, retiring your suits in favor of more casual attire has a lot of perks. You can mix and match easily while allowing your creativity to roam (within reason).
It’s a different story during your third trimester. Your growing body just won’t look the same in your existing outfits. Now’s the time to introduce a few dark maternity suits back into your wardrobe. They are not only flattering, but also easy to accessorize.
Simple Skirts and Pants
Every mom-to-be should own two or three pairs of black pants. They can match practically any blouse and jacket, and they’ll fit seamlessly with nearly all shoe types. They’ll go with a t-shirt as easily as with a blazer; boots as easily as with sandals; socks or no socks. You’ll have plenty on your mind during the last three months of your pregnancy. Black maternity pants will ease the burden of choosing professional clothes for the office each day.
Like black pants, simple straight skirt can give you a slimming look. They are fun to mix, match, and accessorize. Pair a dark skirt and an earth-toned blazer, or match that same blazer with your favorite black maternity pants.
Accessorize
Let your dark suits, pants, and skirts – along with a smattering of colorful blouses – form the foundation of your maternity clothes. Use refined necklaces, earrings, and scarves to add a dash of sparkle to your image. The right earrings can inject a subtle air of sophistication while a colorful scarf can add a touch of zest to your professional appearance.
It doesn’t have to be a headache to dress appropriately for work during your third trimester. Making a few smart maternity wear choices will have you looking great, feeling comfortable, and spending less time worrying about both.
