In this post, we’re going to do a style recap on a few things to note when styling your bump. Before we begin, one key thing to remember about styling your bump and styling in general is balance.

Finding a balance between things like hemlines, exposure, volume, accessorising or sexiness is very important with styling. Too much or too little of one element could kill an outfit, so moderation and balance are key things to consider.

We’ve seen some recurring trends so we’ll take each one at a time.

Jackets

This has to be the most popular trend amongst our stylish mums. Long or short, in any fabric, a jacket is a great way to style your bump. It reduces attention on your bump without completely hiding it. It’s also a great way to embrace a sexy pencil dress or casual trousers without fully exposing the bump, it helps to balance exposure, volume and sexiness. See some examples below.

Patricia Bright wears a short leather jacket with jeans

Lilian Esoro wears a long, sleeveless jacket for a pop of colour on a white dress

Its a great addition for modest dressing as well as seen on Teslimat Yusuf

Flaunt Your Legs

When you’re pregnant, you can still dress sexy. Another popular, sexy way we’ve seen mum style their bump is flaunting their best features or their slender features. Your belly is inevitably big during this period and you just might add a bit of weight but that doesn’t mean you should cover it all up, because you might look bigger! Show some skin, see examples below.

Got great legs, flaunt them like Blake Lively

Try a playsuit/shorts just like Maky Benson
