When should we start wearing maternity clothes during these 9 months and what pieces should we choose?
1) From which month can we wear maternity clothes?
You can wear maternity clothes as soon as your belly starts to show. From two months for some, when it's the second child or generally 4 months for those who are expecting their first child.
Because we quickly feel cramped in our pre-pregnancy clothes and we feel more comfortable in comfortable clothes. After the 2nd and 3rd trimester, specialized clothing for pregnant women immediately becomes essential! With Neuvième Ciel, you will have the opportunity to dress in pretty outfits throughout your pregnancy and after giving birth if you are breastfeeding!
2) What to wear in the second trimester?
From the second trimester of pregnancy, maternity pants that cover your belly well and do not fall down as soon as you get up will prove essential. At the same time, your usual tops will start to ride up and you will quickly find your belly exposed. It is therefore time to invest in specific maternity tops. They are designed to fit the shape of your bust while leaving room for your belly by covering it all the way down. Some prefer to take normal clothes with 2 sizes above but unlike adapted maternity clothes, you will find yourself in loose clothes on all sides that will not enhance you while maternity clothes will preserve your femininity by being as close as possible to your silhouette by simply having extra room for the belly.
You can wear the Juliette pants from Neuvième Ciel which are an essential chic basic. The Yogi and Jeanne cotton tops are also key pieces for pregnancy for a casual outfit to have urgently in your closet. To complete this list of basics, the Cocooning cotton leggings will be an ally of your pregnancy. You will feel good at home, as well as outside by accessorizing it with a pretty shirt or long tunic.
If you need elegant clothes to go to work, or simply to walk or go out with friends or with your sweetheart, the Monceau skirt is an original piece that you can adjust with its straps that cross in the back. At Neuvième Ciel you will find many pieces that are chic and comfortable for this second trimester of pregnancy such as the Lucie dress (which is also designed for breastfeeding, which allows a long-term investment), the Parisienne dress, the Marion dress, or the Margaux tunics (reversible that you can wear with the buttons in front if you are breastfeeding), or even Portofino, Vernazza which are compatible with breastfeeding.
You can also wear shirts to hide that little belly if you want to keep it a secret at first. The Candice and Vanessa shirts are perfect for this.
3) How to dress in the 3rd trimester?
In the third trimester, your belly will take up a lot of space and it seems inevitable that you will invest in maternity clothes to feel comfortable. We recommend loose pieces at the belly level with empire waists such as the Lucie dress, the Cancale tunic, or more chic, the Pagoda dress. The latter can be worn with sneakers for a cool daytime look or with pretty sandals for an event, a ceremony, an evening or a romantic dinner.
In the middle of summer, if you are looking for chic dresses for your weddings that will show off your pregnant belly, the Gordes and Isle Sur Sorgue dresses are perfect for these occasions. They come in several colors, each one as cheerful as the other, and you will feel beautiful and fulfilled with your extra pounds.
For a casual chic look, the Rangoun and Rapallo dresses are pieces that will give you style while allowing you to feel comfortable and chic during these last trying months. Consider wearing them with sneakers for more comfort and to give a more "fashion" side to your clothes.
Finally, the St Tropez skirt with its elasticated waist that is worn over the belly is a very practical piece for this last trimester of pregnancy. It will allow you to feel comfortable while giving you style.
I hope these tips help you dress for these 9 wonderful months!
