Summer Fashion for Pregnant Mamas: Staying Cool and Stylish

The heat and humidity of summer can make dressing while pregnant more frustrating. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to stay cool, comfortable, and stylish as you navigate the warmer months with your baby bump. Here are some favorite summer fashion tips for pregnant women this year.

Opt for breathable fabrics

Choose breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, and lightweight knits to stay cool and comfortable. 

Embrace Maxi Dresses

Maxi dresses are a pregnant woman’s best friend during summer. They offer both comfort and style, accommodating your growing bump while keeping you cool. Look for dresses with empire waistlines that provide ample space for your belly.

Choose Supportive Swimwear

With the heat, you may be planning to hit the beach or pool, look for swimsuits that offer good bust support and have adjustable straps. Tankinis and one-piece swimsuits with ruching around the belly area are both flattering and comfortable. 

Embrace Colors & Prints

Summer is the perfect time to experiment with vibrant colors and playful prints. Opt for bold hues like coral, turquoise, and sunny yellow to add a pop of color to your maternity wardrobe. Floral patterns, stripes, and geometric prints are on-trend choices that exude summer vibes.

Play with Pastels

Soft pastel shades like blush pink, mint green, and baby blue are perfect for a sweet and feminine look. Pastel colors add a touch of elegance and softness to your maternity outfits, perfect for summer outings or special occasions. Also perfect for your baby shower!

Stay Cool while Breastfeeding

It's summer and you're breastfeeding while out. Talk about getting hot! Check out the patent pending Mina & Vine nursing scarf. Made with temperature regulated fabric, it will maintain your body temperature! And since you can style it 10+ ways, you can wear it long after you're pregnant. 

Stay Hydrated

While focusing on fashion, don’t forget the essentials of summer health. Carry a water bottle to stay hydrated and use sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. A good maternity-friendly sunscreen will prevent sunburns and keep your skin healthy.

During pregnancy, comfort is key, but that definitely doesn't mean sacrificing style. Check out more summer styles.  Happy summer styling, mamas!
