Don't ditch your skinny jeans
You don't have to reach for unflattering maternity jeans. Instead, look for maternity skinny jeans or wear your own with a belly band attached. “They show off your legs without adding unnecessary bulk” says Otto.
Play up your best accessories
Your baby bump is your best accessory, but showing off your favorite jewelry can't hurt. “Whether it’s a brilliant statement handbag or a striking necklace, wear something extra that makes you feel good about yourself and more put together," explains Otto.
Make color work for you
Your fall maternity wardrobe doesn't have to be limited to dark hues. Our fashion expert says, "Try to wear more saturated colors or fun prints on days you’re not feeling great and let your outfit instantly improve your mood.”
Snatch it with a belt
You can look instantly smaller by finishing off your look with the perfect belt. Otto explains, “Wearing your belt higher up is the perfect way to accentuate your bump, which is the best accessory of all.”
A perfect wrap dress is a must
Belted and wrap dresses are great for the fall, and if you wore them before pregnancy, don’t be afraid to wear them now. The best part is that you can throw it on and go!
Go boho chic
Don't shy away from rustic patterns "You have an amazing excuse to buy yourself a new wardrobe, so don’t be afraid to explore a little bit,” Otto says.
Fancy flats or boots
Feel free to say no to heels! "I am a huge fan of heels, but if they’re causing you pain, ditch them and opt for fancy ballet flats or low heel booties,” says Otto.
Go with playful prints
“As long as the color change doesn’t cut across the middle, then go for it! It’s a fun way to style your bump,” explains Otto. A dress like this is perfect.
Stripes are classic
Instead of going with a classic solid top, go for a casual striped blouse. This look is comfortable and chic for a mom-to-be on the go!
Color blocking still works
Color blocking can also be your friend if used the right way. “As long as the color change doesn’t cut across the middle, then go for it! It’s a fun way to style your bump," she says.
