A little looser in the leg, boyfriend jeans can be wornthroughout your pregnancy. Plus, they can be dressed up or down and worn withalmost any shoe in your closet. (We recommend a super comfy flat or bootie.)

Pro tip: Invest inan inexpensive bellyband to turn any jeans into maternity wear, from the first trimester allthe way through to the fourth. Who said you needed to buy expensive maternityjeans to look this good?

Re-discover your waistline with a tunic that will make yousparkle. Long, flowy hems mean you can wear them with almost any bottom,including leggings. Yesssss.

Pair with a long necklace to elongate your torso while bringingfocus to your brag-worthy baby bump.

Bonus: Tunics with an empire waist tend to accentuate the ladies up top. Who said pregnancy hormones didn’t have their perks. ?
