How do I keep my sense of style during pregnancy?

Your sense of style is a direct reflection of your individual likes, dislikes and preferences. You need not change these preferences just because you are expecting. There are now plenty of options in maternity clothing that will allow you to continue with your style! While maternity clothing may look typically broad or wide to you, there are however many details that you should take note to help "carry on" your personal style:-

Style and cut
Look out for certain styles and "cut" that appeal to you more than the rest. A maternity shirt, for instance, can show up in a multitude of styles - depending on details such as shirt and sleeve lengths, neckline/collar, hem and cuff finishing, darts and gathers, special trims and accessories. Slimmer cuts will also help you maintain a smooth and flattering silhouette.

Fabrics, colours and textures
The choice of fabric will no doubt reflect your individual style. The same design produced with different fabrics will create different looks. For instance, woven cotton will give a crisp appearance while cotton / spandex knit gives a softer, more draped look.

Mix and match
Get a few basic bottoms and then mix-and-match with a variety of tops to create different looks. Pants in slimmer styles such as bootflare and capri are great fashion basics.

Pamper yourself
You are feeling bigger and clumsier each day, the last thing you want to do is neglect your personal appearance. Remember to maintain your haircuts (or get a new style!), continue your manicures / pedicures, and enjoy facials or massages or any form of therapy (even shopping therapy counts!) as you ordinarily will. Most importantly, continue being active - a sense of well-being comes from within!
