How to Wear Animal Print Maternity Clothes

Wearing animal print is a great way to add variety to your maternity wardrobe. Kate Middleton has been seen wearing animal print during her pregnancy which has made the trend even more popular.

Destination Maternity suggests adding even a touch of animal print to your wardrobe with a small belt or scarf.

Animal prints to consider:

• Cheetah

The last option, and most subtle, for adding animal print to your maternity wardrobe is to add a skinny belt for a pop of wild color.

Skinny belts are best suited for maternity wear. You will hardly ever see a big bulky wide belt sold on a maternity dress, shirt, or pants. It's nearly always a very thin skinny belt.

Add your skinny belt to any loose fitting shirt or dress to minimize the appearance of your belly. The perfect skinny belt to buy is small enough to fit exactly below your breast bone and directly above your belly. See the above picture for an example of how to wear your skinny belt.

Another way to sneak some animal print into your wardrobe is by adding a beanie. Keep your pretty fingers warm with a pair of wild looking leopard spotted gloves.

The matching leopard knit fingerless set above from San Diego Hat Company is sold by Zappos. Order yours for just $24 by CLICKING HERE. With a ribbed cuff, these have a great stretch-to-fit design.

All of these options have an animal print pattern throughout. Most are one-size-fits-all. This is a great eye-catching way to finish off your outerwear with style.
