Checklist: Maternity Fashion

&nbsp;<b>Jeans</b> Forget skinny styles and grab your roomiest pair for the first couple of months.

<b>Blazer Button</b> up to hide your growing bump, or wear it open to let your belly breathe.

<b>Tank top</b> You can rely on that stretchy shirt from your closet until the day you pop.

<b>T-shirt </b>Slide by in a larger-size shirt from your own stash for the first few months.

<b>Cardigan</b> Be ready for unexpected hot flashes. A basic button-up is easy on, easy off.

<b>Skirt</b> Turn to a pencil skirt for a slimming style even when you start feeling bigger.

<b>Little black dress</b> A style with an Empire waist won’t restrict your growing bump.

<b>Husband’s</b> t-shirt Steal one of his XL tees for some reprieve in the final stretch.

<b>Black pants</b> A side-zip is easy to leave open unnoticeably.

<b>Maternity jeans</b> Work a dark wash (with a stretch panel) for day into night.

<b>Wrap dress</b> Adjust the dress to fit a fluctuating waistline pre- and postbaby.

<b>Maternity tank</b> top Cover up unbuttoned pants with extra-long styles.

<b>Maternity t-shirt</b> Show off your great new cleavage with a V-neck style.

<b>Maternity cardigan</b> Get a neutral hue, like black, that you can dress up or down.

<b>Maternity skirt</b> Highlight your thinnest assets (your legs!) with a short hemline.

<b>Big black dress </b>Take the maternity route and your dress won’t ride up in front.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<b>Under-belly black pants</b> Don’t reveal any seams with your snug tanks and tees.

<b>Maternity black pants </b>Hide your belly and keep pants up with a wide panel.
