Maternity Fashion Offers Plenty of Style By Sabah Karimi
 Pregnancy doesn't mean foregoing runway style and chic outfits; modern maternity collections include luxurious legwear, designer diaper bags and even career lines made with special fabrics that stretch and fit just right.
A few tips when shopping for stylish and flattering maternity wear:
- Buy the essentials first. Must have items include: Black pants, a crisp white shirt, designer denim jeans and a few fun tops are all you need to get started for your new wardrobe; then just build from there.
- Buy shirts with a loose fit. This will make it easier to accommodate a growing bustline. Purchase bottoms with elastic waists. This can help you keep a few basics on hand throughout your pregnancy.
- Don't give up comfort for the sake of style. While it is possible to find some great trends in maternity sizes, comfort is much more important during pregnancy so make sure you have the perfect fit.
- Accessorize for a fresh look. Stock up on accessories such as jewelry, hats and handbags to create a completely new look.
- Get fitted for the right bra. Maternity bras can make pregnancy much more comfortable, and your size may change during your pregnancy.
- Treat yourself to at least one dressy outfit. When it's time to go out for the evening, don't settle for a frumpy, tent-like dress; invest in at least one or two elegant pieces to keep you looking fantastic throughout your pregnancy.
