When you find out that you’re pregnant, there are tons of things you probably do to prepare yourself for the day of your little one’s birth. The first trimester is the time when you can get a lot of things done. It’s that time when you’re pregnant, but you are not weighed down by the big baby bump or the unbearable pregnancy symptoms that exhaust you. It’s also the best time to think of various ways to decorate your baby’s room and pick out a crib, toys, and other baby accessories to make the perfect room for your little one. If you’re a fashionista, being pregnant doesn’t have to stop you from staying trendy. However, as a mom-to-be, you might want to focus on comfort and revamp your wardrobe to stock up on maternity wear.
So, if you’re confused about what clothes to pick out for your first trimester (when you’re pregnant but barely showing any belly bump), you’ve come to the right place. We are here to help you pick out the perfect clothes for your first trimester:
Comfort Trumps Style

Sure, you might want to be that pregnant diva whose wardrobe is enviable, and you can be. But some things are more important than looking glamorous, and that is comfort!
Loose-fitting clothes that have no elastic bands, cramped buttons, or laces are the way to go. Skip the heels, jeans, tight tops, and restrictive belts. You should also choose sports bras that offer good support for your tender and swollen breasts.
You’re already probably dealing with discomfort in your first trimester. We are talking about morning sickness, food aversion, and mood swings that make you irritable. The last thing you need is your clothes making you uncomfortable too. Therefore, choose highly comfortable clothes and give them a trendy spin.

You probably have tons of loose-fitting clothes lying around in your wardrobe that you never wore before. Make use of them and give them a twist to make them look stylish and in fashion. You don’t have to spend a lot of money on maternity clothes because you already have tons of expenses coming your way.
Maternity clothes are necessary, but if you can make do with the stuff you already have, there’s no better way. You could also borrow (steal) some of your partner’s clothes. They make the perfect baggy clothes that you need during your pregnancy.

You might feel like you cannot look fashionable anymore because you’re pregnant. But that’s not the case. Remember Rachel from F.R.I.E.N.D.S? She didn’t let her pregnancy stop her from looking like a diva, and you don’t have to either. There are tons of dresses, skirts, and palazzos that can give you an edge in your style and provide you with the comfort you need.
Take inspiration from our very own Bollywood actresses who kept it stylish while flaunting their baby bumps. Be it Anushka Sharma or Kareena Kapoor Khan; they’ve all shown us that being pregnant doesn’t mean you have to compromise on looking like the true fashionista that you are. Besides, this is the time for you to experiment and try out different styles.
You could layer up or down depending on the weather. Wear sneakers, boots or loafers, and accessorize your outfits with hats, caps, bags, and sunglasses. Don’t forget that there is no harm in looking and feeling great about yourself while waiting for your little one.
