But what if we said that maternity clothes can be as beautiful as you want them to be and that too with a great sense of comfort? Yes, it’s true, and these royal mommies are a testimony to this fact!

This particular royalty seemed to love bright colors, and we say this because she was often seen wearing bright shades of pink, green, blue, and yellow, particularly during her pregnancies. She did the same with the kind of sweaters she wore too. One among the bright ones was a long pink sweater worn over (yet another) polka dot dress. We say go ahead and get something like this! It’s an excellent choice for a night out when you can enjoy how great it looks as well as the comfort it can provide! To add more color and versatility to your collection, make room for sweaters, overcoats, and bright colors. You can pair them with the same color footwear or go for one that contrasts with your coat. You can’t possibly go wrong with something similar to Princess Diana’s lovely dress and overcoats. They’re comfortable, cozy, and classy!

A high fashion glamorous look doesn’t often bring to mind a dress of comfort. However, the look Princess Charlene donned during Princess Grace Awards in 2014 does just that. Princess Charlene showed us that when pregnant, one can wear a comfortable outfit and still be stylish at the same time. She chose a simple all-white look, with her hair elegantly tied and simple ornaments. The long flowing gown brought on a classic look which is something to be desired for. Those worrying about their building tummies would instantly feel inspired to try on this look when visiting a party or some event. Be it the early weeks or the final weeks of your pregnancy, you can definitely choose this look and feel confident of your style.
