If a mother to be has a limited wardrobe she can opt for a number of maternity clothes that are so versatile they can be worn after the pregnancy. A drawstring waist, for example, is very popular for this reason. This handy option is great for the early pregnancy, when other maternity clothes aren’t really needed as yet. It can expand throughout the pregnancy too, and then be worn after the baby is born and as mom loses that baby fat and returns to her pre-pregnancy slim and trim self.

Other maternity clothes are those whose fabric is very resilient and which don’t have a maternity panel. These styles have a zipper fly front with a top button

What are very trendy now in maternity clothes are those that hug the body and show off what’s left of the expectant mother’s slim shape. The belly is shown off, rather than hidden under a lot of cloth. Tunic length tops aren’t nearly as popular as in decades past. Tops fall just below, or even right above, the belly. Maternity clothes include camisoles and tank that fit like a glove and have spaghetti taps. They can be worn by themselves or with jackets or blouses over them. Maternity clothes nowadays include pants with a slim fit and ankle length.

The most important pieces of a wardrobe of maternity clothes that will carry the expectant mother through her pregnancy are basic that can be worn with several other things for different looks. These include a quality pair of black pants, a black skirt either shirt or long, and a part of pants that are made of either twill or denim.
