Comfortable shoes: Comfortable shoes for pregnant women is a rave, but then how stylish are they? You want to rock ballerina flats but you have to pick them in cool colours and shape. Rather than focusing mainly on the classic ballet flats, you could opt for the pointy toe classic, the open toe, loafers, open side, with straps, the lace up and many others. Ballet flats are perfect with A-line gowns or skirts that are right above your knee, so be daring! You could also opt for cool sneakers in vibrant or cool colours to go with your jeans, leggings, midi body-con gowns or skirts.

Colours And Fabrics: While pregnant, there’s always the urge to dress down or simply go for neutral colours. Opting for neutral colour can be a blessing especially when you have run out of ideas on what to wear, your neutral fashion comes through.

However, do not be afraid to rock bold colours such as green, yellow, red, purple or as many as you like. A red bodycon gown is a sure show stopper regardless of the occasion. You should opt for stylish linen and cotton clothes not only because they allow your skin to breath but because most of them are easy to slip on. A stylish linen gown and jacket is sure going to make a strong fashion statement on any pregnant lady.
