There’s science involved everywhere, even when you choose what to wear when you’re pregnant. Our experts share tips on choosing the best fabric and the most flattering fits for those months.
YOU MIGHT
have seen Instagram pictures of celebrities like Kareena Kapoor flaunting their bumps in style, a glad new trend. Well, fashion embraces back every one who embraces it. Besides, you don’t want to look back at your most cherished moments and wince at what you were wearing. Here is a trimester-by-trimester fashion guide for you.
TRIMESTER I
Culturally, most women don’t want to reveal their bumps in the first trimester. So clingy clothes and fabrics like lycra are out. In the initial months, go for silhouettes that camouflage the few extra kilos you’ve put on and fabrics that flow gracefully over the belly and hips. Tops with an elastic waistband that lets the fabric fold over the tummy and A-line skirts are a good choice. Kurtas or tunics are popular because they fit well around the shoulders/arms and are loose around the stomach. Avoid low-rise jeans as they can make your tummy look like it’s jutting out. Ideally, the pants should be about one inch below your belly button.
