Lifestyle

Think about the activities that you’ll be doing while pregnant. Will you be sitting at a desk all day? Or will you be out and about, running errands and attending events? Your lifestyle will determine the types of clothing you need to buy. For example, if you’ll be working from home, you may want to invest in comfortable lounge wear. But, if you’ll be attending events and going out, you may want to invest in dressier pieces.

 Size

It’s important to remember that your body will be changing throughout your pregnancy. Therefore, you may need to buy clothes in different sizes. To make sure you’re buying the right size clothing, take your current measurements and compare them to the size charts of the clothing you’re looking at. If you’re in between sizes, size up. Your clothing should fit comfortably, not tightly.

Material

When it comes to maternity clothing, you want to look for pieces that are made of breathable fabrics. Natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, and bamboo are great choices. These fabrics are lightweight and breathable, so they’ll keep you cool and comfortable.

Design

When it comes to design, you want to look for pieces that are flattering and stylish. Look for pieces that are form-fitting, but not too tight. You also want to look for pieces that are versatile and can be worn for different occasions.

Fit

Fit is one of the most important factors to consider when shopping for maternity clothing. Your clothing should fit comfortably and not be too tight or too loose.
