Autumn is upon us and so are the new season fashions. Don’t let your growing bump keep you out of the fashion spotlight. Jeans are a staple in any autumn wardrobe, and with the right pair of maternity jeans, they can play centre stage in yours as well.
A good pair of maternity jeans can be an indispensable purchase during your pregnancy. Suitable for both casual wear and a night on the town, you’ll find yourself reaching for them day after day.
Comfort and fashion are both deciding factors in the clothes we choose. With the right pair of maternity jeans you won’t have to sacrifice one for the other. You should familiarise yourself with the different styles available. Modern maternity jeans have the appearance of regular jeans, with one exception; accommodations for your growing tummy. Where and how you would like your jeans to sit on your precious bump are huge factors when choosing the right pair of maternity jeans for you.
Under the bump: These maternity jeans are similar to typical low rise jeans, often with the addition of a supportive band of wide elastic that fits comfortably under your bump. This style is ideal for the early stages of your pregnancy.
On the bump: These are maternity jeans which sit where the natural waist would be in a traditional pair of jeans. You will find many different styles ranging from drawstring to normal button or zip openings. Most will have elasticized panels, either on the sides or the back, and sometimes will have side straps that can be adjusted throughout your pregnancy.
Over the bump: These maternity jeans typically have a stretch panel or elasticized waist band that sits above your bump.
You may want to try each of these styles and see which feels most natural to you. Here are a few selections that vary greatly in style and design, but each offers the same promise; a comfy and stylish mum-to-be!
The first is a pair of grey maternity jeans from Fun Mum. Grey jeans are in high fashion this season and these beauties, with their gold detailing on the rear pockets, rival even the best designer jeans. The waist features hidden buttonholes which can be adjusted during the early stages of your pregnancy as well as a stretchy panel.
Next, Crave Maternity offers a stylish pair of straight leg pull on maternity jeans. Their slight stretch hugs your growing curves while still providing ample coverage. The waist has an expandable panel that sits under your bump. The dark indigo colour offers a sleek look to the straight leg and enables these jeans to be paired with virtually any type of top.
COCOON slim fit maternity jeans from La Redoute are a low cut stretch denim jean. Colours available are blue rinse, grey and white. The stretch cotton of these jeans offers a comfy fit and the low rise style offers a trendy fashion statement.
Finally, we have two styles by Dorothy Perkins. The first is an over the bump pair of casual maternity jeans. Full stretchy panel offers complete support and coverage. Casual style looks great paired with maternity T-shirt and trainers.
The second Dorothy Perkins selection is the maternity skinny jean. Skinny jeans are hugely popular and your pregnancy should not exclude you. Pair with a jumper and boots for a stunning style!
Whichever maternity jeans you choose, they will fast become your must-have piece in your pregnancy wardrobe!
