by simplymaternity on the 3rd May 2012

When the creators of the ‘Best On Budget Maternity Line’ offer to share their inside secrets on how to look good during your pregnancy, it’s probably a good idea to take a couple of minutes to see what they have to say – and we really glad we did.

This new short video from New Look, who were voted Pregnancy & Birth Magazine’s Best on Budget Maternity Line for 2012, gives an insight into what to expect throughout your pregnancy as well as real life women discussing what is required from maternity clothes and why the new range from New Look is definitely worth considering.

It’s great to see normal shaped women showing us what maternity clothes should like and we loved seeing the key pieces from the new collection including great shaped maternity leggings which are so essential through pregnancy as well as tops and trousers for casual, workwear and special occasions.

But the item that stood out for us has to be the Paisley Print Maxi Dress as worn by Amanda in the clip.

As you can see from the video itself, the colouring and sophistication that this dress provides the model is instantly apparent. The beautiful shape floats gently over her bumps and gives an elegant, summery feel that you too can achieve with this gorgeous style.

Though only on sale in some flagship stores, this dress is readily available online and at only £24.99, it is not something that is going to cost you the earth, but it is going to make you look and feel amazing.

Maxi Dresses are perfect for pregnancy. The under the bust emphasis draws the eye up your body while the long floating skirt gives you a fluid silhouette that makes you feel feminine and attractive even towards the very end of your pregnancy. And because you choose your pre-pregnancy size in all maternity clothes at New Look, this dress is also perfect for wearing after the baby is born and will give you some extra leeway when you are still trying to get rid of that extra post baby weight.

Whether you are going to a special occasion or just want to feel a bit more gentile during your pregnancy, order this dress from New Look today and see that maternity fashion with elegance and style doesn’t always have to come with a heavy price tag.

Opt For Maternity Stripes This Spring

by simplymaternity on the 19th March 2012

It has been a long held belief that horizontal stripes should be avoided at all costs when you are pregnant. Side ways strips have always been cursed with a reputation for adding width to your body and increasing the apparent size of your bump, but in actual fact it has come to light that the opposite is actually true.

If you are a lover stripes yourself, you will know that well placed stripes will move the eye across the body, not only flattening out your growing bump but also giving you definition to your waist creating a great silhouette for your pregnancy body.

And right now, Jojo Maman Bebe are celebrating the benefit of stripes in their new collection with some fantastic maternity knits that are perfect for making you look good and keeping you up to date with the latest maternity styles.

This Breton Maternity Jumper is the perfect example of how maternity stripes can work for you.

The way that the stripes are focused solely over the tummy area, flattens out your bump and draws your waist in to give you an exceptional look.

The boat neck and solid colour on the top part of the jumper draws the eye upwards and creates a great feature that balances out your entire body shape.

Made in 100% cotton to keep your clothes comfortable and breathable through the entire summer, choose from Red or Navy for a fantastic jumper that is going to see you all the way through your pregnancy and beyond.

For full on stripes, try this 3-Way Maternity Cardigan also from the Jojo Maman Bebe collection which combines the up to date stripy style with the practicality of a cardigan that can be worn pretty much any way you would like to.

The waterfall collar on this maternity cardigan means that you can wear it open to create a great feature to the front of your outfit, framing anything from a casual jeans and t-shirt through to an elegant shift dress.

Use the integrated tie and define your waist for a more traditional look, or you can button up your cardigan for a classic style that looks just as great with maternity jeans and trousers as it does to warm up your summer dress.

With such a versatile but elegant shape, you will want to keep wearing this cardigan long after your baby is born. It is ideal for nursing and the flattering style means that this cardigan is always going to fit well and look fantastic.

Get Out Of Your Jeans For Spring

by simplymaternity on the 16th March 2012

Though maternity jeans are one of the easiest and most comfortable items of clothing for the colder months, when it comes to a warmer summer, pregnancy jeans can become heavy, constricting and uncomfortable. So we’ve decided to give you some inspiration on how you could get out of your jeans this season with the use of the Spring Maternity line, launched at Crave Maternity.

We start with an old favourite that is never going to go out of style, the baggy maternity trouser. A must have for any summer pregnancy, whether you are a lady that lunches or just want to make sure you are relaxed and comfortable on the beach this Easter, khaki trousers are a must have essential, and if you can roll them up to create a second versatile style, then even better.

When you are looking for a good pair of baggy trousers, opt for a style that is created with a baggy fit rather than just buying a bigger size. The baggy effect is incredibly flattering, especially for the pregnant body as it balances out your size and gives you a feminine flow to your lower body.

Get a size too big and you are left with bags and sags where you don’t need them, rather than the elegant silhouette that you were hoping for. So choose your pre pregnancy dress size and then opt for a more relaxed style to get the look you want.

Wear with soft gentle maternity tops when your trousers are full length and then opt for more casual maternity t shirts or vest tops when you roll your trousers up. These Khaki Roll-Up Trousers from Crave can actually be worn at three different lengths when means you can create a huge number of styles with just one pair of trousers – ideal if you want to create a different look everyday on your holidays but don’t want to be carrying too much luggage.

When it comes to that City Break or Girl About Town look, you can’t beat a pair of Capri pants for a hot summer look. The traditional while is going to be very popular again this year because it gives that neat sophisticated style while still keeping that summer feel.

The skinny fit of these Capri pants from Crave really shows off your toned legs even better and gives a great foundation for some gorgeous maternity tops and fabulous shoes to make this season go with a swing. And if white is not your style, you can always choose a black or khaki style that may be what you are looking for.

When you are choosing your Capri pants, make sure you go for 100% cotton to keep your trousers breathable and comfortable all summer long. The shorter length leg is going to give you more comfort and airflow while extending your body to make you look taller and slimmer as you progress through your pregnancy.

But when the sun really turns up the heat, there is nothing like a good pair of quality maternity shorts to keep you cool and feeling relaxed. Though there are smarter shorts, and longer shorts, we couldn’t do without a good pair of fitness shorts in the summer. The short cut makes them so much fun and the soft material ensures they are going to keep you comfortable in the very hot weather even as you near the end of your term.

These fitness shorts from Crave are made with their own signature jersey which means they are going to keep their shape and are easy to maintain, ideal if you want to wear them day after day in the summer months. Available in black or grey marl, you don’t have to be going out for a run or even be thinking about it to carry off this style, the comfort and fit that these shorts provide make them perfect for looking great and keeping cool on holiday and at home.

Team with a flowing maternity top and you have a fantastic outfit for any occasion or match up with a good quality t shirt for a great casual look. And when a hospital stay is required, don’t worry, team these shorts with a simple maternity vest top and you have the ideal hospital outfit that will combat even the warmest wards for an overnight visit. However you use these shorts, make sure they make it into your wardrobe this summer as you won’t realise how useful they are until the warm weather starts.

So as the weather starts to warm and we all want to find an alternative to the good old reliable denim, why not take a look at some fantastic alternatives and get yourself ready for a fantastic summer.

With a heavy French influence to the entire Vertbaudet collection, their maternity clothes combine elegance and sophistication with comfort and on trend styles so that you get the very best for your pregnancy.

In third place is this gorgeous Breast Feeding T Shirt favoured in the grey marl shade at the moment.

This is a fantastic t-shirt to take you through your pregnancy and then has a fantastically clever envelope effect created by two pleats which conceal the openings for breastfeeding.

With a bloused effect at the waist to hide any unsightly bumps after the baby is born, this top is perfect for this season and will keep you looking great for many months to come.

At £27, this top is exceptional value for money already, but when you combine it with the latest Vertbaudet voucher code, you will find that you can save a huge amount on this, or anything else you buy at Vertbaudet right now.

The best thing about investing in a good quality maternity t-shirt is that you can wear it almost any day of the year.

Because of the increased blood flow that most mums-to-be experience, your body temperature can be slightly higher than pre-pregnancy which means thinner, short sleeve or sleeveless tops are a must for all year round. And this top selling Maternity Vest Top shows just how much style you can enjoy when you choose the right elements for your maternity wardrobe.

Though you obviously can’t see it when you look, this top has the same inverted pleats as the breast feeding t-shirt in third place which makes breast feeding as simple as possible when you are out and about.

Available in this classic black as well as pink or grey marl, this top is so flexible and so comfortable it is ideal for any style this Spring. Whether you team this top with jeans, shorts, a simple skirt or a suit for work, the neck gathers and soft jersey fabric ensure that your tops keeps its shape and you keep your style all day long. Dress up or down to suit your mood and when you want to travel, these tops are crease resistant and easy to care for, which is ideal when you have a new born baby to look after.

The Best In Linen Maternity Trousers

by simplymaternity on the 22nd February 2012

You know that Spring is definitely on its way when you see that jeans are falling from the top spot in the best selling maternity trousers chart and the linen maternity trousers start to take over. A great indication that the sun is ready to come out and a great opportunity for us to look at some of the best linen maternity trousers available this season.

Linen trousers are a great choice for your capsule maternity wardrobe as they offer comfort and style and are so cool that they can be worn throughout the summer months without you overheating or feeling uncomfortable.

The classic style has to be your traditional white linen trousers combined with a great pair of flip flops and a summery maternity top, but this trouser style is equally at home with a bikini top to show off your bump or a gorgeous flowing cardigan for those cool summer evenings. Combine with flats or heels and dress your trousers up or down as you wish and you know you have the fashion that is going to see you right through the summer months.

Top of the picks here at Simply Maternity has to be these gorgeous Classic White Linen Trousers from FunMum.

FunMum always seem to be a top choice when it comes to maternity trousers and jeans as they offer such a variety of lengths and dress sizes to ensure that every woman can wear well fitting, great looking trousers throughout her pregnancy, not matter what her height or dress size.

These linen trousers are particularly great as they have the original FunMum waistband which means that you can wear these trousers with an over the bump band to ensure the best shape possible under your floaty summer tops but when it gets too hot, you can simply roll the waistband down for a great under the bump look.

Versatile, lightweight and incredibly well made, these trousers are easy to iron and easy to store so that they continue to look fantastic every time you wear them. And with 20% off right now, these trousers are just £27.60 at FunMum making them not only top pick but a great bargain too.

If you’re worried about wearing white during your pregnancy, or just want something a bit more practical, how about these Black Linen Maternity Trousers available at New Look.

At 32 inches long these trousers are ideal for the standard woman and are available in black, white or khaki giving an impressive range of options from New Look, but what we love about these linen trousers is the cut.

Though they are black trousers, the fact that New Look have used linen in this design means that you get a pair of formal trousers that are going to be airy and comfortable to wear no matter what the temperature and are going to keep you feeling fresh.

These trousers look so good that they could easily be used for maternity work wear and, with the addition of a shiny top and some heels, would be equally at home on any night out making them completely versatile and great value for money at only £19.99.

As part of the Exclusive & Flagship Stores collection, these maternity trousers are not going to be available in your local store, but you can order anything from the site and have it delivered to your store for collection. This service is free for all orders over £20, while all orders over £45 can be delivered directly to your door free of charge.

Our final choice for this feature, has to be something a bit different, we’ve done the traditional black, white and khaki, so for the final choice we wanted something fresh and funky, which is exactly what we found with these fantastic Maternity Linen Trousers from La Redoute.

We love the way that these trousers can be worn full length or cropped so that you have the versatility in style and comfort. Wear the trousers down for a more formal approach and then roll them up for the midday sun and you have the latest fashion without having to invest in another pair of trousers.

The gorgeous dark blue shade has an almost purple effect, making these trousers a great colour for spring or summer, but if you want something at bit more traditional, these maternity trousers also come in light white or mid grey so that you have an entire variety of shades to choose from. Usually £39.00 a pair use one of our many voucher codes for La Redoute, and you will get these amazing trousers at a drastically reduced price.
