New Mom Fashion - How to Look Great Post Pregnancy

September 21, 2008

There is nothing more exciting than being a new mom. Having a baby can dramatically change your life in a positive way. Unfortunately, becoming a new mom can sometimes leave you feeling less attractive than you did before your pregnancy. Dont think that having a baby means a world of bulky sweaters and roomy pants. You can still look great post pregnancy with these great tips.

  • Leave Your Workout Wear at Home: Everyone loves wearing sweat pant. Nothing feels better than wearing pair of forgiving cotton pants that make you forget all the weight you may have put on. The forgiving nature of stretch pants and sweat pants covers up your body, makes you look and feel less than sexy, and often keeps you from returning to your pre-pregnancy weight. How can those comfy pants stop you from losing weight? When you wear nothing but roomy sweat pants you lose sight of what you once had and would like to regain. Sweats are great for when your home on the weekend or to slip into after a hard day of work, but when you leave the house, try putting regular clothing on. Wearing regular clothing will help you maintain your weight loss focus.

  • Endorse Your new Curves: Congratulations, youre a new mommy. You have a new baby and you have some great new curves. After giving birth, many women are put off by their brand new shape; however, this is absolutely unnecessary. Many people, including men, often think that the new curves youve obtained over nine months are sexy and portray characteristics of a mature woman. Dont cover your new body up with baggy clothing. Instead find the areas of your new body that you really love. For many women the cleavage formed from a larger chest is a favorite asset. Find some great V-neck shirts to show off what your hard work gave you.

  • Choose Dark Colors: In case you didnt know, dark colors are a great way to disguise parts of your body that you dont particularly like. They work well to create an overall slimming appearance. If you gained a lot of weight on your backside, wearing a dark pair of pants or jeans is a great way to mask that. Likewise, a dark colored shirt can help divert attention away from a tummy that just carried a baby for nine months. Even though it does work to create a trimmer appearance dont overdo it by wearing only dark colors. Mix it up a bit. My suggestion is to utilize this trick more often for your legs than for your top. While you can often get away with a light colored top, light colored pants and jeans are usually less forgiving.

  • Choose Clothing Strategically: Choose clothing that down plays body parts youre not happy with. If you recently had a baby, youre in luck. Shirts that mask your stomach area are big right now. This includes baby doll shirts, and empire waist shirts. Both these garments accentuate your chest and draw attention away from your middle section. Not only do they help take attention away from your tummy, but they often leave you with a bit more confidence since it is not snug around your belly but still looks attractive and stylish.

  • Wear the Right Undergarments: Pregnancy does strange things to your body and this includes your breasts. After your pregnancy you definitely will want to think about purchasing nursing bras. These bras are specifically made for easy nursing access. Not only do they make feeding easier, but the padding on the bras will help support your chest and prevent embarrassing leakage. Wearing the right undergarments is also a great way to help your clothes look better on your body. Bras and underwear that are too small or dont give enough support will take away from what you put on top of them.
