Maternity Clothes for Stylish Moms

How can you stay stylish and comfortable during pregnancy? Here are some of my favorite online shops with everything from casual maternity pants to pretty party dresses.

A Pea in the Pod is a nationwide maternity chain with an online presence too. They carry some supercute dresses and alluring tops from Lavish, which is supermodel Heidi Klum's maternity collection.

A Pea in the Pod also has beautiful maternity sweaters by Vince Long. These are smart enough for the office but are so comfy, you'll want to wear them around the house too. The style is suitable for an entire pregnancy.

Try Thai fisherman pants! These cotton pants are cheap ($25 with delivery) and very comfortable. Basically, you wrap the fabric around your body & tie the attached belt. Thai fisherman pants are a combination between pants and a sarong.

The Fisherpants website sells Thai fisherman pants in army green, lavender, black, brown, gray and white.

Tip: You can probably wear the small size Fisherpants, even when you're pregnant. Thai pants are unisex & have lots of extra fabric.

Loft.com, a division of Ann Taylor, carries beautifully tailored maternity clothes for a somewhat upscale market. If you have the cash, you can get most of your wardrobe all in one place. Loft has maternity jeans, flared slacks, blazers, sweaters, jackets and more.

Some of the prettiest maternity clothes are handmade. My favorite pregnancy dress ever was worn by a hippie waitress in Santa Cruz, California. She looked adorable in a Renaissance-inspired cotton dress. It was adjustable at both sides with criss-crossed ribbons.

Congratulations on your pregnancy & happy shopping!
