It's been some years now since I was last pregnant, and believe it or not, I miss dressing around my protruding belly. I know this is not the case for many, but I enjoyed the freedom and confidence that pregnancy allowed. My anxieties around my waist size fell by the wayside during the maternity period. That said, it can be tricky to find chic outfits the further along you are. My friend is newly pregnant and looking to prepare her maternity wardrobe, so I sent her some outfit inspiration to get her started.
To round up the outfit ideas, I dove into the accounts of some of my favorite Instagram fashion follows that I distinctly remember having incredibly stylish pregnancies. These lovely ladies reside all around the world. Below, you will see the pregnancy looks l sent my friend from Paris, London, Los Angeles, and Amsterdam. The outfits range from casual to dressy, and all have an effortless and elevated feel. Keep scrolling to check out and shop eight standout maternity looks.
