Im in a sartorial no-mans land, a land where full on maternity wear coexists with my normal wardrobe. I can just about squeeze into my day-to-day clothes and buying dresses a dress size up is tempting but I must resist. Ive been here before and know how big my bump is going to get; full on maternity wear is just around the corner.
Can a pregnant woman really wear dungarees? For a limited time only, especially tailored ones like these from TopShop. They feel contemporary yet comfortable but the waistband is fixed and the only way I squeezed into them on is by going up a size. I love them regardless. Can somebody please produce a maternity-wear version?
The stretch black top has side-pleating allowing room for bump growth and the duster-coat is smart enough to wear to important meetings. This is definitely a look for fashion week.

This is a proper maternity blouse and therefore has plenty of room. The print is on trend and I feel smart in it. The fabric is so voluminous I could wear it right until the end of the pregnancy. The black maternity jeans are smart enough to wear with the blouse for work; just add a tailored jacket from your ‘normal’ wardrobe.

This will probably only fit for a few more weeks so it’s best to buy something like this right at the beginning of the pregnancy. I’ve had to go a dress size up to make sure it fits.
The Mary Portas brogues for Clarks are cushioned inside so it’s basically like wearing slippers. Hurrah!

Wearing a loose dress instead of a skirt is a good idea beyond five months pregnant. This pleated one by Cos is incredibly chic, smart and elegant and would definitely last the entire pregnancy and beyond. I love the lightness of this outfit.

Again, this isn’t an actual maternity dress but the waistband is elasticated so it’s very comfortable! This is a dress I can imagine wearing post-baby.

A good tip for middle pregnancy is to wear black with something eye-catching over the top. Half mime artist half optical illusion it will allow you to wear print with confidence. The black H&M maternity skirt is incredibly comfortable.
Missing high heels? A kitten heel is a good compromise.
