Maternity Clothing Trends 2012

Maternity clothes are a very important part of self image during pregnancies. Women usually become very self conscious of putting on weight. Pregnant women need constant reassurance about how they look and maternity wear is an important part of that reassurance. Maternity wear is a big and growing segment and every year there are new lines by new fashion labels for maternity wear. Today maternity wear is not about voluminous clothing but chic, sharp outfits that highlight the tummy. The emphasis of maternity clothing today is to make sure the pregnant woman looks stylish and is comfortable. The importance of accessories like scarves, stoles, chunky necklaces or even shrugs must not overlooked. One well matched accessory can make a big difference to the entire look.

Every year there are some trends, but cool clothing remains popular throughout. Maternity skirts are very cool pregnancy clothing. They can be colorful and comfortable and at the same time, can make a statement about style. Though these skirts are available in varying lengths, the knee length maternity skirt is most flattering for a pregnant woman’s profile.  Maternity pants are also very cool clothing. These pants come with stretchable waists that provide additional support for the baby bump. These pants can be found in many types of fabrics including cotton, denim and flax. A loose flowing tunic with these pants or a stylish blouse with one striking accessory can make a big difference to how a pregnant woman can look. The best part about maternity pants is the fact that existing pants can be altered to attach a stretchable waist. This way you might not need to buy a completely new wardrobe for your pregnancy. You can always share your pregnancy clothes with your gal pals, creating a support matrix that will help you and your friends through the pregnancy.

Trendy pregnancy clothes in today’s fashions include tunics in bright colors. Tunics can be very flattering as they are flowing around the abdomen and snug around the shoulders. This helps define the pregnant woman’s shape. Long sleeves also work very well with pregnant women. Long sleeves create a better style and can be accessorized well. Maxi dresses are another important and long lasting trend in maternity clothes. Maxis are available in various lengths, sleeve lengths, fits, fabrics and prints. Pregnant women world over today are not afraid to wear bold colors and prints. Clothes with empire waists are most flattering for pregnant women. Do not hesitate to wear body hugging tops. Contrary to what women earlier wore, wearing tops that outline your growing bump can actually make you feel more attractive than you wearing a loose dress that hangs over you like a tent. You can also choose to wear Capri pants or cargo pants early on the pregnancy up to the third trimester. Avoid too much frill and lace especially around the chest. A good maternity or nursing bra can also play a big part in shaping the body contour well. You might be pregnant but that does not have to equal pudgy or stout.
