Schneider has the following style recommendations for women who are pregnant.
Rihanna effortlessly blends sophistication with a hint of rebellion. Satria suggests opting for bodycon dresses or tops featuring strategic cutouts to capture her stylish and bold pregnancy look.
These garments accentuate curves while maintaining a contemporary and daring aesthetic. Affordable bodycon maternity dresses with distinctive design elements can often be found on local online platforms such as Hannah Grace Maternity Wear.
Satria recommends considering crop tops or stretchy fitted tops paired with high-waisted skirts or pants to achieve a similar style.
These outfits allow pregnant women to highlight their baby bump while still being comfortable and fashionable.
Local online platforms like Mama Style often offer crop tops and high-waisted bottoms that can be combined creatively to recreate Jessie J’s daring aesthetic.
Rihanna’s streetwear fashion sense is unmatched, even when she was pregnant. Satria suggests seeking out oversized graphic t-shirts or hoodies to pair with comfortable leggings or joggers to achieve a similar relaxed and trendy streetwear look.
Affordable options can be found by checking the sales and clearance sections of local online retailers like Momsy or by browsing through thrift stores for unique vintage discoveries.
Jessie J effortlessly radiates grace in perfectly fitted maxi dresses or gowns with vibrant colours or metallic details.
To achieve her sophisticated yet comfortable style, Satria recommends seeking out maxi dresses made from soft, breathable fabrics that drape elegantly over the body. Opt for jewel tones or subtle metallic accents to infuse a touch of glamour.
Some stores cater specifically to pregnant women, and local online retailers like Superbalist and Tummies Maternity Wear often provide affordable maternity maxi dresses in a wide range of elegant designs, suitable for any occasion where you desire an effortlessly chic look.
