The 5-Minute Closet Audit: Your Maternity Wardrobe Made Easy

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but figuring out what to wear every day can quickly become overwhelming. Your body is changing, and so should your wardrobe—but that doesn’t mean you need to start from scratch! A quick 5-minute closet audit can help you identify what already works for your growing bump, what gaps need filling, and how to maximize your existing wardrobe.

Why Do a Closet Audit?

• Saves time getting dressed every day

• Helps you avoid unnecessary spending

• Ensures you feel stylish and comfortable throughout pregnancy

How to Do Your 5-Minute Closet Audit

Grab this quick checklist and go through your wardrobe step by step:

Step 1: Identify What Still Works

✔ Loose and flowy tops that provide room for growth 
✔ Stretchy dresses that can accommodate your bump
✔ Open cardigans and blazers that add style without restriction
✔ Elastic-waist or drawstring pants that offer comfort
✔ Stretchy leggings and maternity-friendly jeans

Step 2: What Needs to Be Stored Away?

✖ Tight-fitting tops and button-up shirts that no longer close
✖ High-waisted or structured pants with no stretch
✖ Dresses with zippers or stiff fabric that won’t accommodate your bump
✖ Heavy belts or fitted waistbands that dig in uncomfortably

Step 3: Identify the Gaps in Your Wardrobe

• Do you have enough comfortable basics like leggings, layering tanks, and maternity-friendly tops?

• Are you missing versatile pieces like a wrap dress or a stretchy skirt that can be dressed up or down?

• Do you have at least one comfortable, stylish outfit for special occasions?

• Are you prepared with seasonal essentials like a cozy maternity sweater for winter or a breezy dress for summer?

Step 4: Plan Your Next Steps

✔ Make a note of what you need to buy or rent.
✔ Consider renting maternity clothes to fill in gaps affordably and sustainably. Renting can be a great way to keep your wardrobe fresh without overspending on pieces you’ll only wear for a short time.
✔ Check out LaBelleBump.com for a curated selection of stylish maternity and nursing clothes you can rent to augment your closet without breaking the bank.
✔ Organize your closet so your maternity-friendly pieces are easy to access.
✔ Mix and match your existing pieces to create stylish, comfortable outfits.

A little organization goes a long way in making sure you feel confident and stylish throughout pregnancy. And remember, you don’t need a whole new wardrobe—just a few key pieces that work for your body and lifestyle.
