Style experts offer some dos and don’ts of maternity fashion.

Do:

• Start with lingerie. “Comfort begins under your clothes,” says maternity fashion pioneer Rebecca Matthias. Pick up quality undergarments that support your changing shape.

• Show some skin. Choose clothes that highlight your best features. Reveal toned arms in a sleeveless top or play up shapely legs with kitten heels.

“For so many women, cleavage is something new that you only have when you’re pregnant, so celebrate that,” says designer Liz Lange. “Not every day at the office, but if you’ve got an evening out, wear a strapless top or a halter.”

• Go monochromatic. “When in doubt, dip yourself in one color,” Lange says. “It’s always slimming and always appropriate.”

• Play with accessories. Make a limited maternity wardrobe work overtime with accessories to change your look or dress up basic items.

DON’T:

• Change your style. “Everything else in your whole life is changing,” says Matthias, who oversees brands such as A Pea in the Pod. “Don’t feel you have to change your style, too.”

• Camouflage your pregnancy in oversized clothes. “Wearing something ill-fitting and oversized because you think it’s going to hide your pregnancy is a mistake,” Lange says. “You end up looking like an amorphous blob.”
