Building a maternity wardrobe can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. The great news is that you can feel comfortable and look fashionable throughout your pregnancy journey. Follow these expert tips to create a pregnancy wardrobe you’ll adore — and that works for every stage of your pregnancy.
Top tips for building the perfect pregnancy wardrobe
1. Declutter your closet
Start by clearing out clothes that won’t fit you during the next few months. Move these items out of sight to focus on the pieces that do fit and flatter your growing bump. Trust us - a streamlined wardrobe will make getting dressed each morning so much simpler.
2. Invest in versatile basics
Building a strong foundation for your maternity wardrobe starts with versatile pieces. High-quality maternity jeans are a must-have, offering comfort and style for any occasion. Pair them with a tee or denim shirt for casual outings, or dress them up with a crisp white blouse and a tailored blazer for more polished looks.
3. Prioritize comfort
Comfort is key during pregnancy. Opt for pregnancy wear that feels soft against your skin and offers plenty of stretch to accommodate your growing bump. All Atelier Melon items are crafted from high-quality, ultra-soft, and stretchy materials, ensuring you stay comfortable and confident throughout your pregnancy.
4. Choose nursing-friendly options
Think ahead when shopping for maternity essentials. Invest in nursing-friendly bras that not only support your growing chest during pregnancy but also make breastfeeding easier post-pregnancy. Our seamless tops are designed with pregnancy, postpartum, and nursing in mind—they provide support for your bump, care for your postpartum belly, and feature convenient breastfeeding clips.
5. Create and save outfit ideas
Once you’ve curated your collection of pregnancy-friendly clothing, take some time to style outfits that you love. Pair your favorite pregnancy jeans with cute tops, accessories, and shoes, then snap photos of these looks. Save the photos in a dedicated album on your phone for easy reference. On busy mornings, simply check your album for inspiration and get ready in no time! Or head over to our bundles section for some combinations you'll definitely love (and for a discounted price!).
