Maternity tops for the fall and winter season include a lineup of ¾ sleeve button down shirts, knot-front knits and chunky, layerable cardigans that can double as a lightweight jacket on cooler nights. If you need to update your wardrobe for the season, scoop up some of these top trends in maternity blouses and shirts:

Charmeuse tunics: ¾ sleeve charmeuse tops are a dressy and stylish top to add to your maternity wardrobe for the winter season, and will make for a great outfit over the holidays. Tops trimmed with satin and shiny beads are perfect for holiday revelries and other special occasions.

Puff-sleeve shirts: Puff sleeve shirts are a fun change of pace from the lineup of shirts and blouses available this season, and you can pick up this style in a regular length or tunic length to match with leggings or jeans. Look for bold prints and plaid designs to make the most of this look.

Button front blouses: Maternity button-front blouses are a great match for days at the office and occasions where you need to dress semi-formally. These lightweight blouses made with a stretch material will keep you comfortable all day long, and will also flatter your silhouette at any size.

Peasant style blouses: Pull off the boho chic look this season with a peasant-style blouse with ruffled sleeves and a loose fit. These flowy tops are perfect for luncheons, shopping days and other low-key events. Pair them with a pair of jeans, khaki pants or leggings for a fun and playful look.

Flutter sleeve sweaters: Cozy up in some knits this season and choose a set of flutter-sleeve sweaters and cardigans for your maternity wardrobe. These sweaters are a loose-fitting style that are perfect for snuggling in as temperatures drop. They're also a versatile addition to your casual wardrobe, easily paired with khakis, jeans, leggings and wide-leg pants.

From puff-sleeve shirts to peasant style blouses, you can celebrate the season in style with a lineup of fun knits and loose, flowy tops in maternity blouses. Take your pick from these different styles of shirts and tops when updating your maternity wardrobe.

The change of the seasons means it will soon be time to don those sweaters and cardigans, pick out some stylish boots and sport jackets and full-sleeve tops. When you're pregnant over the fall season, it can be hard to figure out how to put together a stylish but functional ensemble that will keep you comfortable as the temperature changes. The secret to looking great this season? It's all about the layers.

Layering your look is a simple way to wear your favorite pieces all year long and create a fresh new look each day. When you're pregnant, you also need to think about staying cool and comfortable when those hormones start to get the best of you. Fall is a great time to layer clothes such as tank tops, short-sleeve tees and button-down blouses with some fresh new pieces such as vests, cable-knit sweaters and long cardigans.

Just make sure you're picking up each piece from the maternity department so you are accommodating for your growing figure. Some of the best layered combinations for the mom-to-be this fall include:

Long chunky-knit cardigans with maternity leggings and a short-sleeve top
Wide-leg corduroy pants with a wraparound top and a long sweater
Dark brown khaki pants with a smock tank top and a long, full-sleeve cardigan
Bootcut jeans with a long v-neck tunic top and contrasting tank underneath
Knit trapeze top with twill pants and topped with a chunky sweater

When you're just lounging at home and need to wear something comfortable during those especially painful or bloated days, stick with the ¾ sleeve baby doll tops, short sleeve faux wrap tops and sleeveless baby doll tops paired with some yoga-style capris or wide-leg pants, and wear a long sweater or cardigan over it if you get cold.

Just remember: even though it's the fall season, your body may not be responding to the actual temperatures outdoors on any given day. If you're feeling especially hot in the middle of October, or feeling chills in early September, adjust your ensemble for the day by layering light and heavy clothing so you can be comfortable all day long.

You may long to wear muumuus and oversized sweaters during the last few months of pregnancy, but you don't have to compromise fashion and style just to be comfortable. The last trimester can be one of the most challenging to dress comfortably in, but there are some key pieces you can add to your wardrobe that will make you look chic, stylish and super comfortable. Here are your best picks for the casual wardrobe during the third trimester:

The Leggings and Tunic Combo
A pair of stretchy leggings in black or brown paired with a printed tunic are a great fit for the mom-to-be during the last trimester. Look for leggings from the maternity department instead of going a few sizes up on regular styles for the most flattering silhouette. The sky's the limit when it comes to tunic tops and stick with bold printed designs and v-neck or scoop neck cuts to make the most of this look.

The Flowing Summer Dress
A loose, flowing summer dress is perfect for the last trimester of pregnancy because it not only helps you stay cool, but is also flattering to your growing figure. Stick with dresses that have empire waistlines and wide straps so that you can stay plenty comfortable all day long.

The Long Black Skirt
A long black skirt is an important staple for your maternity wardrobe, and is a great choice for special occasions and events that demand a little dressing up. Stick with a skirt made with stretchy material and a modest slit to create the most attractive silhouette.

Bootcut Pants
Bootcut pants and not flare leg or skinny jean types are the best match for you during your last trimester, and are a staple for weekend errand-running and casual days at home. Look for a pair of bootcut pants made with either a stretch or lightweight linen material for the ultimate fit. Just make sure it's from the maternity department so you're not struggling with the waistband.

The Button Down Shirt
Whether you're gardening or shopping for groceries, a well-fitting button down shirt is a great match for casual days during the third trimester. Look for stretch cotton blends that will accommodate for your baby bump, and consider wearing a tank or tunic top underneath for some extra support.

Exercising regularly is important for your health and well-being during pregnancy, and you need to wear clothes that are both comfortable and functional. While skin-tight clothing will help you move easily through that step aerobics class or yoga routine, it might not be the best choice for when you are having a baby. Here are some essential pieces of workout clothing that every mom-to-be needs throughout her term:

Moisture-Wicking Tee: A slightly fitted workout shirt is a great way to cover up the baby bump without adding too many heavy materials to your workout. Look for shirts made with a stretch fabric so that they can accommodate for your baby bump.

Well-Fitting Shoes: A pair of soft-soled shoes that fit you well are essential for working out in during pregnancy, and you may be surprised to learn that you need a half size or full size larger during your second or third trimester. Get your feet fitted for a new pair of workout shoes so that you're not compromising the health of your ankles and knees when working out.

Wide-leg Yoga Pants:
Wide-leg yoga pants will help you move freely and also allow your skin to breathe. Look for styles with a slightly flared cut to elongate your figure. These stylish pants are also great for lounging in on those days when bloating and tenderness rule the day!

Maternity Windbreaker Jacket: If you plan on exercising outdoors, or need to walk or drive to the gym during the cooler months of the year, you'll need to cover up with a lightweight windbreaker. Make sure it's designed for the pregnant mom so you're not adding unnecessary pressure to the baby bump.

Stretch Crop Pants: If you're heading to a fitness class in town, a pair of stretch crop pants made for the mom-to-be can be a flattering addition to your maternity workout wardrobe. Look for crop pants made with a stretch material so that they can accommodate for your baby bump and create the most flattering silhouette. Drawstring pants will last you for several months of pregnancy because they're completely adjustable.

From well-fitting shoes to stretch crop pants, you can put together a great wardrobe that not only suits your style, but also helps you move freely throughout your workout session.

By month #4 of your pregnancy, that baby bump is going to be the center of attention as you go about your day. During this trimester, you'll need some comfortable clothes that expands with your growing baby, and this is especially important for your weekend wardrobe that typically includes jeans, khakis, crop pants and loose-fitting tees. Some moms-to-be can't wait for the weekend when they can throw on their super-comfortable jeans and tees, but you'll need to buy some maternity versions of your favorites for pregnancy. Here's what you'll need for the weekend/super-casual wardrobe during your term:

1. Maternity jeans. As you start to get bigger around the middle, you'll need a flattering cut of denim jeans to wear with your casual tees and tops. Maternity jeans with an adjustable waistband are important, but you'll also need to pay attention to the cut of the leg. Stick with jeans in the flare or bootleg style because these will elongate your figure and balance out your shape better than 'skinny jeans' and tapered legs.

2. Stretchy tees. Forget the super-fitted tees that you used to wear on weekends after your gym routine. When you're pregnant, you'll need t-shirts that have Lycra and other stretchy fibers mixed into the cotton. Look for tees made with Lycra and double layers, because these will provide the extra support that you need.

3. Drawstring pants. If you prefer to lounge in pants and baggy tees instead of jeans on the weekends, invest in a quality pair of drawstring pants. These naturally adjust to your waistline, and you can relax with ease with the wide-leg fit and loose cuts. Just avoid buying these types of pants that are a few sizes too large, or you risk looking like you're wearing pajama bottoms.

In addition to the clothing essentials, you'll need a comfy pair of shoes for your weekend errands and activities. Make sure you get fitted for some soft-soled or rubber shoes so that you get plenty of support all day long. Swollen ankles and feet will feel much better in a pair of shoes made with breathable, stretchable material.

Maternity jeans are designed with an adjustable waistband and stretch material to accommodate for your growing baby bump and steady weight gain. However, that doesn't mean you have to stick with the 'mommy jeans' style (unless that's your preferred style) throughout your term.

When you're selecting maternity jeans, the first thing you need to decide is what type of wash is fit for the season. Keep in mind that you will probably only be wearing a new pair of maternity jeans for about three to four months, so you won't be able to wear the same color through every season. Stick with the lighter blue wash jeans during the late Spring and summer, and the darker blue or grey washes in the Fall and winter months.

Another important factor in finding the perfect maternity jean is hem length. For the most flattering fit, the cuffs of the jeans should rest at the top of your foot when wearing shoes; your feet should almost disappear without shoes on. This length creates the effect of longer, slimmer legs, and will elongate your figure from head to toe no matter how much weight you've put on during pregnancy.

Make sure that the waistband size you select truly fits you. Many moms-to-be make the mistake of purchasing one size too small to avoid worrying about jeans that keep sliding down, but you will need to pick a size that leaves you with about an inch of space in front. You can always wear a light belt if you fear slippage, but you're likely to grow into these jeans in a few short weeks.

Finally, make sure you select a style that complements the tops you will be wearing through your term. If you plan on wearing lots of tunic tops, you'll need a slimmer-fitting style so you don't disappear under your clothes. If you plan on wearing fitted, wrap-style tops, your best bet is a flare leg or bootleg style that enhances your curves.

Today's maternity fashion designers are incorporating many standard styles such as bootleg cuts, wide leg and even skinny jeans into the denim lineup for pregnant moms, so you can show off your stylish and fashionable self even when you're pregnant!

Being plus-sized and pregnant doesn't mean you need to wear miu-miu dresses and tops, hide in oversized tunics and t-shirts, and shy away from flaunting your figure. Plus-size moms-to-be can be just as stylish and trendy as their thinner counterparts because looking great has nothing to do with your weight!

Pregnancy is a great time to become more comfortable with your body and wear clothes that flatter you. In order to wear the latest styles and trends, you'll need to invest in some quality clothing that accommodate for your growing body. Here's what you need to know:

1. Stick with Lycra and knit tops. You need clothes that will stretch and conform to your changing body shape, not clothes that will constrict you or hug you too tight. Choose knit tops that are made with Lycra so you can enjoy the benefits of stretch fibers throughout your term.

2. Shop the maternity line, even in the plus-size section. It can be tempting to just go up a few sizes when shopping for maternity clothes, but you won't fit into these pieces of clothing properly. Shopping for maternity clothes in the plus-size section ensures that your clothes will fit you properly and accommodate your growing belly.

3. Get fitted for your pants and skirts. If you're unsure about the size you should wear for pants and skirts, get fitted by a tailor so you truly are wearing the right size. Once you know your size, you can purchase pants and skirts from the maternity department, because these are made with elastic waists and will accommodate baby bumps with ease.

4. Wear empire-waist tops and dresses for special occasions. Empire-waist tops and dresses are ideal for the pregnant woman because they emphasize your natural waistline and don't cinch or pinch around your baby bump. Look for these styles when shopping the special occasion section of the plus size department.

5. Wear larger prints and patterns to complement your figure. Wearing bold and large prints will complement your larger figure better than teeny-tiny flower prints and other delicate patterns. Look for these prints in either your top or your bottoms for a figure-flattering look.

When you're in your second or third trimester, finding comfortable clothes can be one of the biggest challenges of being pregnant. Your growing baby bump and a few additional pounds can make it hard to find flattering clothes, and if you need to dress in business-casual or business-professional clothing during your pregnancy days, your choices may seem limited. Still, there are several ways to pull off a polished and professional look during pregnancy. All you need to do is focus on finding comfortable basic pieces, and then accessorizing with some of the latest trends.

The first must have for any office-going mom-to-be is a versatile pair of black pants. Black maternity pants can be matched with almost any type of top and will exude that professional and chic touch you need for the office. Stick with the black pants or trousers with an expandable waist so you don't have to worry about having your clothing tailored every month.

Another essential for the office is a cardigan or vest that fits you properly. Make sure your cover-up is designed for the pregnant mom so there's plenty of room for your baby bump. Avoid materials that are too clingy or ¾ sleeve cuts, because these can make you look much larger than you are. Stick with loose-fitting cardigans and tops that tend to drape rather than cinch at the waist.

A great way to look more pulled-together with any outfit is to accessorize properly. You can draw attention to your neck and face by wearing attractive, eye-catching jewelry with a square-neckline top and your hair pulled up so that the baby bump isn't the center of attention. A bright-colored scarf tied around your neck can also have the same effect. Just make sure that you're complying with the company dress code.

Finally, the right pair of shoes will finish up your polished ensemble for the office. When you're pregnant, it's especially important to wear shoes that fit you properly and select a pair that is made with expandable, breathable materials. Look for super-soft leathers and stick with the kitten heel so you're not putting too much pressure on your calves and legs during the day. A kitten heel is great for the office and will help you create that chic and stylish look you need.

Whether you're heading out for a special celebration or hosting a dinner party at home, there will be a time during pregnancy that requires you to dress elegantly for the occasion. Unfortunately, the days of pregnancy can make you feel less-than glamorous, and it might be hard to find the right dresses, skirts and other fancy pieces of clothing to pull off an elegant look. Need some help for that special event? Here's how to look elegant with very little effort during pregnancy:

1. Stick with the all-black ensemble. Monochrome outfits are every pregnant woman's best pick, especially on days when that bloated feeling just won't go away. A black dress, an all-black pantsuit or a black skirt with a black top can be plenty glamorous (and not funeral-worthy) when you accessorize with some bold and bright jewelry or a scarf. Look for maternity dresses and skirts in black to create an effortlessly elegant look.

2. Wear layers. You don't have to wear a sleeveless cocktail dress or a Hollywood-inspired jumpsuit for that special occasion when you're pregnant. One of the essential keys to looking elegant is wearing something that you feel comfortable in. For many women who are expecting, this means wearing layers. Layering maternity tank tops with a cardigan and fuller skirt is a great way to look pulled-together without compromising your comfort zone.

3. Try a wrap top or a wrap dress. Wrap tops and dresses are great for pregnant women because they accentuate your figure in all the right places, without being too figure-hugging and causing you discomfort. Wrap tops and dresses are also very elegant, so you won't be breaking the dress code for that special occasion. Consider wearing a wrap top with some wide-leg pants or a straight-cut skirt for a chic and stylish look. If you're wearing a wrap dress, complement the outfit with some patent leather Mary Janes and a stylish clutch.

Looking elegant during pregnancy is possible, but you need to focus on finding clothes that make you feel comfortable and flatter your figure. Try layering, wearing a wrap top and stick with neutral, one-color outfits so you can enjoy your evening in style!

If your second and third trimester overlap the Fall and winter months, you will need to add a specially-designed jacket to the maternity closet. Maternity jackets are typically designed in a trapeze-style, generous cut for the extra coverage you need. Whether you're buying a raincoat or a fur-trim winter coat, you'll need to find a jacket that best suits your style, keeps you warm throughout the season, and also flatters your growing figure.

Double-breasted maternity jackets are great for almost all body shapes because they are designed with an empire waist and a classic, straight-cut fit. Double-breasted jackets wrap the center to provide extra protection from the cold, and the classic English-inspired design is great for work or play. If you're looking for something chic or elegant, this is a great match for your maternity wardrobe.

If you only need a light, short-sleeve jacket for running errands, an elbow-sleeve jacket made with French terry cloth or light linen may be the best match for you. These maternity jackets are typically made with a combination of cotton and spandex to provide basic coverage where you need it most. This style is great for your daywear wardrobe, and buying it in a neutral color will help you get through those cooler spring and summer days in style.

Belted jackets are perfect for the casual weekend wardrobe, and you'll notice the belts are located much higher than traditional jackets because they will help to create the flattering empire waist look. A khaki or black button-front jacket with a thin belt that ties at the side is a great look for Fall, and will help you stay stylish and comfortable throughout your days of pregnancy.

If you need a little more coverage than a cardigan at the office, opt for the swing jacket or wrap jacket. Swing jackets and wrap jackets made with a wool blend and ¾ sleeves are great for indoors without looking like you're wearing a jacket! The swing style is also very flattering for moms-to-be because it won't cinch at the waist, and is designed for extra movement.

Whether you need a jacket for the weekend or a coat for the office, it's important to pay attention to the style and design of your outerwear pieces during pregnancy. Take your pick of some of these most-flattering styles so you can stay warm, comfortable and stylish throughout your term!

Finding the right types of clothing during pregnancy can be one of your biggest challenges, especially during the second and third trimester. Many moms-to-be simply give up and stick with oversized tent-style tops and dresses just to get through their days. However, there are some ways you can stay stylish and feel great all the way up to the birth, without resorting to some major fashion don'ts. Make sure you're avoiding some of these common maternity fashion mistakes as you piece together your closet for the weeks and months ahead:

1. Buying your entire wardrobe in the first month. You won't know exactly how your body will change and morph over the months ahead, even if you've had children before. Buying too many clothes early in the pregnancy can be a big mistake, so you're much better off buying clothes as you need them. You can still plan ahead, but stick with a 3-week, not 3-month lead time.

2. Wearing clothes several sizes too large. There are too many maternity clothing options out there to settle for wearing oversized t-shirts and baggy sweaters through pregnancy! Scope out the designers and brands that make clothes specifically for pregnant women, and try a few different styles of clothing to find the right match. Keep in mind that when you wear clothes that fit your body shape and size, you'll also feel better about yourself.

3. Buying clothes that don't sync with your style. If you don't usually wear peasant tops or sleeveless dresses, now is not the time to start! Stick with your usual style parameters so you feel comfortable in your ensemble. It's now easier than ever to find maternity clothes that match your sense of style, so don't settle for anything else.

4. Wearing shapeless dresses. The maxi dress may be in style this season, but this shapeless dress won't complement your figure. Look for dresses with a small tie-back or empire-waist cut so that you can show off that baby bump in style, and still feel comfortable.

5. Altering your regular clothes to fit. No matter how much you love those bootcut jeans or high-waisted skirt, you're going to have to part with it for a few months. Avoid the temptation of having your clothes altered to fit because you'll ruin them permanently! Just buy a few basic pieces that complement your sense of style, and wait until your body is back in shape so you can wear your favorites.

It only takes about four months after you learn you're pregnant for the breasts to start developing, so you need to be prepared for the changes by finding the right type of maternity bra. Maternity bras are designed to provide the extra support you need when you're pregnant, and you'll need at least a few throughout your pregnancy term in order to stay comfortable.

A well-fitting maternity bra will help you feel more confident, support your posture, and will create the perfect silhouette under clothing. Here are some important tips for finding the right maternity bra:

1. Buy more than one. There are dozens of different maternity bra styles, so you don't have to settle for just a single cut and design. Pick up a few different styles and designs that fit you well so that you have enough to wash one or two as needed, without having to resort to your regular bra.

2. Get a professional fit. Most lingerie retailers offer free bra fittings, so it's in your best interests to have a professional fitting before you go out and buy a maternity bra on your own. After you learn what your measurements are, you can then hop online or start looking at different styles independently at the store.

3. Make sure the band doesn't ride up. One of the most common problems associated with a maternity bra is that the band isn't sitting level with your back. When you're wearing a well-fitting bra, the band will lie flat and parallel to your shoulders. Make sure you turn around and look at how the band is positioned on your back before making your purchase.

4. Skip the underwire. Underwire bras can be too rigid and cause discomfort on your tender breasts, so stick with bras that are made with plastic support or thicker cuts of fabric for that extra support you need.

5. Do the spill test. If you're wearing the wrong cup size, your breast will 'spill out' over the bra and stand out under your clothes. Make sure the cups completely cover your breast, and create a seamless look under clothes. This can be tricky when you're going through the breast-growing phases, but don't be afraid to trade out for a larger size as you grow.

Shopping for maternity clothes can be frustrating, especially when you've been gaining weight and just don't feel like yourself anymore. However, there are some ways you can dress to flatter your figure and not settle for baggy, oversized clothing.

Form-fitting tops designed just for pregnant women will accentuate your baby bump and cinch at the waist just right, so you can maintain a stylish look. Whether you're in your first trimester or your third, here are the clothes that will help you hide pregnancy weight gain and flatter your natural curves:

1. Wear wrap tops with maternity jeans. Maternity jeans are designed with adjustable waistbands that will accommodate your growing belly, and you can look pulled-together and stylish with a gathered maternity wrap-top. These tops are slightly fitted under the chest area, and a V-neck or square neck design will draw attention upward.

2. Relax in an empire dress for a night out. Empire dresses are perfect for women who are pregnant because they are a freeform style that won't stick to you as you move. Some of today's most attractive styles include big flowery prints, lace trim and sheer overlays that are very pretty for summer.

3. Look for side-shirring dresses and tops. Side shirring and ruching help to hide bumps and lumps, making your silhouette appear sleeker and smoother. Look for tops and dresses that tie on one side of the waist for a fun and playful look.

4. Stick with tops that emphasize - not hide - the baby bump. Many women who are pregnant make the mistake of hiding in oversized, baggy tops, but this will only make them look larger. Choose tunic tops, blouses and shirts designed for pregnant women, because these will accentuate your baby bump and balance out your figure.

5. Avoid high-neck or boat-neck tops. When you want to balance out your figure, accentuate your curves with a slightly-fitted V-neck or scoop neck top. These cuts will draw attention upward and help you feel more feminine. Accessorize with an oversized necklace or large earrings to complete your look.

Gaining weight during pregnancy is natural, and you don't need to hide in oversized, unflattering clothing throughout your term. Just use some of these style tricks so you can accentuate your natural figure and show off that baby bump in high style!

One of the biggest challenges during a pregnancy is finding well-fitting, comfortable and stylish clothes throughout each trimester. As your body changes shape and size in a few months, it can be hard to keep up with the latest trends and look your best. Building a maternity wardrobe of basics is one of the best ways to stay ahead of the trends and look stylish throughout your term. All you need to do is find some versatile pieces that can be modified to suit your shape as you grow.

Pregnant women fare well with A-line skirts and loose, tunic tops throughout the days of pregnancy. Stick with loose and flowing materials and styles that don't cinch at the waist or those that are made with body-hugging stretch materials. Wrap or tank dresses, and loose blouses and tops with an adjustable waist band or belt are ideal for the mom-to-be.

You will also need a pair of comfortable, well-fitting jeans and dress pants. Avoid wearing oversized jeans that don't flatter your figure, and stick with a pair with a slightly flare leg or similar style so that you can still look fashionable. Maternity jeans are usually designed with an adjustable, extendable waistband, so you can wear these through each season. The same goes for maternity dress pants. Pick a pair with a bootcut, straight wide-leg or flare style to keep in line with the season's trends.

Another important must-have during pregnancy is a set of supportive undergarments and camisoles. You can achieve that sleek silhouette even with a baby bump when you learn how to layer your clothes properly. A snug but comfortable, fitted camisole will help you achieve smoother lines under all your clothes, and provide you with some extra support. This will give you more confidence overall, and help you look your best with any outfit!

Finding the right set of maternity clothes with your tastes and body shape in mind can be difficult, but not impossible. If you don't want to compromise on style and the latest trends throughout the term of your pregnancy, focus on building your basics wardrobe so you can stay stylish and comfortable during the months ahead.

Staying stylish during the dog days of summer when you're expecting can be challenging, especially if you're in your third trimester and are experiencing the aches and pains of pregnancy. It's very important for the mom-to-be to stay cool and relaxed under the summer sun, so choosing the right type of clothing is a top priority. Since you want to be stylish too, here are some of the best clothes to add to your summer collection:

1. The maxi dress. Super soft and lightweight materials make the maxi-dress a definite yes for the season. You can relax in these long, loose, flowing dresses designed with tropical prints or a Grecian-inspired cut for a romantic look. Add a pair of gladiator flats or kitten-heel sandals for a complete ensemble.

2. Maternity capris. 'Tis the season to show off those gams, so don't hide in drawstring pants or jeans this summer! Wear some capris for casual days at the office and weekends, so you can work up a tan on those legs. Maternity capris made with stretch material are comfortable and stylish.

3. Relaxed button-down shirts. Loose and flowing clothing is the best match for a mom-to-be, especially on days when you're feeling bloated and tired. A loose-fitting button-down shirt will help you stay relaxed and comfortable all day long. Choose a light-colored shirt to help you beat the heat this season, without compromising on style.

4. Loose skirts. This season's frock-style skirt trend is at the top of the must-have list, which makes it a necessary addition to your maternity wardrobe. These ultra-feminine and playful skirts are a great way to show off your baby bump in style!

5. Peasant tops. Catch the Bohemian wave this season and enjoy a splash of color with a peasant top. Maternity peasant tops and blouses are designed with extra fabric and tend to flare out at the waist and sleeves. This is a great cut for moms-to-be, and can be especially flattering if you've gained some weight.

Staying cool and comfortable in the heat can be a challenge in itself, and you can multiply the effects of the heat by ten when you're pregnant. Pick up any of these stylish summer must-haves so you can enjoy the best of the season!
