Say the words “maternity fashion” to an expectant mother, and her reaction will be dramatic. For many women, it will be difficult to accept a drastic change in their figure. She may find it daunting, the need to change her style of dressing in order to accommodate for her new shape; as any mother knows, the changes are just beginning. As a woman gets further into her second and third trimesters, her feet and hands will swell, and she may have to swap her favorite kitten heels for the next size up. Where some women see a disaster, others view it as an opportunity to expand their horizons, in terms of their attire.
In the past thirty years, there have been major improvements to the industry of maternity fashion. Accessory designers have also found a way to bypass the changes that cause a fashionable, pregnant women to avoid wearing jewelry; in particular, her rings. Reagan Rowland, the genius behind the Henri Lou collection, has created a line which is sophisticated and comfortable. The combination of soft, pliable leather and fine metal creates a uniquely American, rustic style which compliments the natural glow of a pregnant woman.
So how do expectant mothers expect to stay stylish?
First order of business for the yummy mummy: ditch the pinafores and go Boho! The bohemian style maxi dress is a great look for pregnant women. Comfortable and alluring, the dress will maximize your new curves in all the right places. Accessorize this great style with the Henri Lou Brown Leather square ring; the look is hot and the leather band will expand as your fingers do!
Maternity jeans are a favorite amongst the trendy mama. Choose the cut which will be the most flattering to your body shape - my personal favorite is bootcut. Wear with a bell-sleeved tunic to emphasize your bump. A perfect accompaniment is the Henri Lou Wonder Necklace. The gold filled chain is a comfortable length without being too generous, and the agate stone adds the right amount of polish.
A wrap dress ala Diane Von Furstenburg is the perfect option for a dressy evening out. DVF doesn't shy away from using bright patterns or prints, and neither should you Mama! The cut of the dress skims your curves without hugging them. Accessorize your wrap dress with a Henri Lou Wrap bracelet. The bracelet is available in black or white, so it is a cinch to mix and match to your heart's content!
