How to Dress After Pregnancy
If you've recently had a baby, you're probably eager to swap out your maternity clothes for some more stylish items. While your newborn is probably taking most of your attention, if you can carve out a few minutes for yourself, too, you can look and feel your best without much effort. Read on to learn how.
Things You'll Need:
Wrap dress
Tunic top
Wedge shoes
Pumps
Belted trench coat
Tailored blazer
Cardigan
Matte jersey pants
Step
1
Realize that you will have the extra belly bulge for a while, so take care to wear clothes that will minimize this area. Longer tops can usually work well.
Step
2
Wear your maternity jeans with a sleek tunic for a long, lean line. Only you will know if the panel is there if it's well-covered up!
Step
3
Use wedge shoes or pumps instead of flats to lengthen your legs and balance out a broader upper half.
Step
4
Look for matte jersey pants that are easy-to-wear and feel good.
Step
5
Look thinner instantly by slipping on a structured blazer. The seams and darts will give the illusion of nipping in your waist where you need it.
Step
6
Rely on a long, fitted cardigan to cover any unsightly bulges.
Step
7
Invest in a good wrap dress. This will flatter your figure now and will still fit later, too. Best of all, you can dress it up or down for any occasion.
Step
8
Make a belted trench coat a staple in your wardrobe. This will also make you look polished and put together, even if you have sweats or a top marred with baby stains underneath.
Tips & Warnings
Look like you lost five pounds by wearing control top underwear, stockings or a fitted Lycra slip underneath your clothes.
Buy items that are easy to put on and easy to care for, too.
Remember that it took you 9 (or 10) months of
pregnancy
to have the baby, so expect it take just as long to regain some of your former shape.
Don't buy by size. Try everything on, as your body will have changed from having a baby and you may have to adjust accordingly.
