3 Holiday Maternity Styles

Decoding holiday dress codes can be a chore (“festive attire”, anyone?), and when you’re expecting, it can seem downright daunting. These three looks will have you fashionably covered for all your holiday fêtes.

1. WORK PARTY.

A classic, sophisticated look is the way to go. We love Ingrid & Isabel’s updated take on the LBD with its lace detailing. The body-conscious silhouette is tempered by the long sleeves and high neckline making it office appropriate. Pair with ankle-tie pumps (a closed toe feels right for a work event), a statement earring and a sleek box clutch like this style by Asos.

4. KENNETH JAY LANE Three ball crystal black earrings: $50, buy here.

2. HOLIDAY BRUNCH.

Whether brunching with friends or family, this effortlessly chic look is the perfect solution. Start with a flattering off-the-shoulder top. Pregnant or not, a woman’s shoulders always look good and are a great feature to highlight. Be sure to pair with a seamless, strapless maternity bra for proper support and coverage. Pair with slim-fit black trousers. The slightly cropped hem is perfect for showing off a fabulous pair of shoes. We opted for this pair of on-trend gold ballerina pumps, but heeled ankle boots or kitten-heeled pumps would also work well. Top with a cool overcoat in a luxe color like burgundy and a fun fur bag.

NEW YEAR’S EVE.

Now’s the time to go all out. This flowy printed gown by Free People serves up luxe-hippie glamour perfect for NYE (plus, your belly will be free of constricting seams or fabrics).

Gilded nails are a perfect touch, try Smith and Cult’s 8-free formula in Shattered Souls. Toss a faux fur jacket over your shoulders for extra warmth and that nonchalant cool-girl factor.
