Pregnancy comes with changes, and your wardrobe is no exception. So yes, at some point you'll have to switch to pregnancy wear. This checklist per trimester is your guide to building a pregnancy wardrobe you'll love wearing. With essentials you'll look & feel good in, from trimester one to trimester four.
First & second trimester: laying the foundation of your pregnancy wardrobe
The early weeks of pregnancy can be a whirlwind—both physically and emotionally. Between morning sickness and fluctuating energy levels, you’re also adjusting to a changing body. As soon as your regular clothes start feeling tight or uncomfortable, it’s time to invest in maternity wear that grows with you while keeping you stylish.
A good pair of pregnancy jeans
Every wardrobe needs a dependable pair of jeans, so let's talk pregnancy jeans. The perfect pair is comfortable, flattering, and bump-friendly. At Atelier Melon, we’ve designed our pregnancy jeans with high-quality fabrics and an elastic band that’s been tested extensively for durability and support. Not only does it stretch to accommodate your growing belly, but it also provides gentle support for your back. Choose between our Boyfriend jeans or Wide jeans for effortless style.
Office-ready trousers
For days when you need a polished look, our Fancy pants are the ideal choice. With the same stretchy elastic band as our jeans, they’re perfect for keeping you comfortable and professional throughout your workday.
A pregnancy shirt that grows with you
The problem with your normal tops, and even with oversized ones: in no time they’ll be too short to cover your bump. That’s where our pregnancy shirt comes in. It features hidden side zippers that reveal extra fabric, ensuring a perfect fit throughout your pregnancy. Available in crisp white, light blue Oxford cotton, and two denim washes, it’s a versatile piece that you can continue wearing postpartum.
A double denim look to wear on repeat
Getting dressed in the morning is gonna be a piece of cake when you have an outfit you really love and you can wear on repeat. Try our bundles section for ready to go looks. Our favorites: the double denim bundles in dark and light blue - perfect for looking fashionable everyday.
Third trimester: staying stylish through the final stretch
By now, you probably feel like your bump is growing by the second. Your wardrobe needs to keep up with the final stretch, and comfort is very important during this last trimester.It’s also the perfect time to prepare for postpartum and breastfeeding essentials.
Stylish and supportive bras
You may need some new bras, because let's face it - it's not just the bump that's growing. Who said pregnancy & nursing bras can't look sexy? Invest in bras you can use when breastfeeding (hi, breastfeeding clips!), so you can keep wearing them for the time to come.
Seamless tops for support & comfort
By now you may want some extra support for your bump, back & boobs. Our seamless tops are extremely stretchy & soft, making them feel like a second skin. Plus: they’re transitional pieces, because they’re perfect for postpartum - trust us, your belly can use the softness & support after giving birth - and breastfeeding, too.
Nursing essentials package deal
With our bundles, we want to make it even easier for you to build your pregnancy wardrobe. Our essentials bundle consists of two pretty nursing bras and two seamless tops - basically all you need to kick off your nursing adventure.
Stay active in maternity leggings
Staying active during pregnancy - whether through yoga, walking, or a light cardio workout - is beneficial for both you and your baby. Our pregnancy leggings are designed to move with you, providing stretch and support while keeping you stylish during workouts.
Fourth trimester: postpartum comfort
Nursing in style
In case you didn't get yourself some nursing bras during your pregnancy yet - now is the time to invest in a set of pretty bras. Our nursing proof seamless tops offer your belly the love & care it deserves after carrying your baby for months. Comfortable enough to sleep in, plus they’re a great alternative to bras during those early days at home.
From pregnancy jeans to postpartum favorites
It may take a while to return to your regular jeans, that’s completely normal. Your belly will thank you for still wearing your Atelier Melon jeans those first postpartum weeks, since it's so soft on your skin. Thanks to the high quality and durable fabric, the elastic band will bounce back with you.
Your pregnancy shirt, still a favorite
Our shirts are lasting pieces in your wardrobe, from the first trimester to the fourth - just open up a few extra buttons to make it nursing proof - and beyond.
The one bag you need
The fourth trimester comes with a whole new set of essentials to carry along when on the go. That’s where our bag steps in as your new must have. With plenty of space and organized compartments for everything you need for your little one and - don't forget - yourself.
