If you’re expecting a new member of the family, naturally you want to keep to your normal style, but with clothes that will work around your bump as it grows.
A hugely exciting time is ahead, but before we get there you need to find some clothes that will keep you glowing and flatter you and your bump.
30% Cashmere / 70% Merino
£50
This poncho will see you through pregnancy and beyond, it’s practical to wear now and whilst very warm, won’t be too restricting for breastfeeding in the future.
Can be worn multiple ways from full shawl, to a scarf or just draped around the shoulders, so if you suddenly feel a bit flushed, it can be adapted easily to your body temperature and how you’re feeling.
“This lovely lightweight and warm garment can be worn a multitude of ways from scarf to shawl (buttoned or not) to poncho. I got the navy color and am wearing it with jeans or over a skirt and blouse for chilly choir sessions. It hardly takes up any room in my bag and is soft as can be. I highly recommend this!“
“I have owned a similar item that was twice the price for a couple of years and worn it and worn it. When I saw Wool Overs had brought out a version I ordered the navy wondering about the weight and feel as it was so reasonable! Thrilled have worn it constantly and three friends have already ordered theirs since admiring mine! Please do a black for winter. Easy to fling on with jeans or if going out day or night over a dress or unbutton and re button as a lovely scarf … Every wardrobe needs at least one!”
70% Cotton / 30% Silk
£40
This relaxed and light-weight cardigan is going to be great when it gets warmer. Wear over a cotton vest and you can undo or do up the buttons if you want a little more space. The three-quarter length sleeves are more practical around the house and the long shape will cover your bottom and flatter the figure.
Great for the later weeks of pregnancy in hot weather or if you want something to cover your bottom or arms, but keep your bump cool. Might be good to order a slightly larger size than you normally would.
“Extra long cardigan is cut for a flattering silhouette but still hides the lumps and bumps.”
“I now have 4 of these cardigans, they are so useful for all sorts of occasions. I would love a second Navy Blue one if Wool Overs decided to bring this colour back as I wear it so much.”
30% Cashmere / 70% Merino
£55
Our waterfall cardigan is ideal for pregnancy. This free-flowing cardigan is long, warm and airy and will be ideal for slinging on around the house or going somewhere smart. A very stylish cover-up that will flatters the shoulders, drawing attention away from the bump (if you want to) and onto its flowing shape.
A great purchase that will see you through pregnancy and beyond as its flowing shape will also make a good modesty cover-up if you decide to breastfeed.
“Fantastic piece, I wear it every second day and it’s so versatile. I’m considering getting other colours. I’m pregnant so it’s great to keep my growing tummy warm. Only downside is it does ball under the arms, which can be removed.”
“I ordered two of these, one black and one caramel to wear with my work dresses, many of which are sleeveless. I’m a senior manager and it’s important that I look smart and put together and these are just the job, stylish, fashionable and cosy. They are quite long, but fine on me at 5’4″ and beautifully swishy when walking. I am really pleased with them, the caramel in particular is lovely, such a gorgeous colour, almost like a caramel latte and the quality of the fabric is excellent, soft and silky. Very highly recommended.”
70& Cotton / 30% Silk
£30
This tie front cardigan is great for warmer weather when you want to cover your arms and shoulders but keep your bump cool. It can tie above the bump in later pregnancy or fall down over the bump in the early stages.
The frilly edges add a bit of femininity to a casual vest and the silk/cotton mix means it’s super soft. Great item to take on holiday when the heat gets a bit too much, but you want to keep air free-flowing. 10 colours will help keep your summer look coordinated.
