Beating the heat can be challenging when you’re expecting, so shorts are a great bottom alternative when temps begin to rise. Go with a classic jean short or a soft printed style like Marissa did in our floral A-line maternity shorts.

A favorite for expecting moms, maternity tees are so versatile and pair perfectly with a printed bottom. Marissa chose the classic black style with a flattering V-neck.  In case you missed it, check out our post on styling this maternity essential here!

Finally, finish off the look with a statement watch, neutral bag and trendy wedges that help elongate those legs!
