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!

Amanda shows off the bump in staple stripes… a mom-to-be favorite! You can try the trend in a basic tee, tunic, or dress. To achieve the flirty and flattering flair from Amanda’s outfit, layer a side-ruched striped tee over a long flowing blouse or tank that matches.

For a dressed up look, pair your stripes with dark denim. Amanda chose a pair of our dark wash Secret Fit Belly® maternity jeans. All of our jean styles feature our Secret Fit Belly® panel; so whether you’re dressing for date night or running errands, you can choose a fit and wash that’s comfortable without sacrificing your personal style.

Adding a pop of color to a neutral outfit is always a fashion do! Amanda adds color with red lipstick and keeps the rest muted with nude heels and a light necklace.

Take a style tip from Zoey and choose a striking color. Spring is the perfect time to experiment with bolder shades;so, branch out from the basics and opt for bights  like cobalt and coral.

A fit and flare dress is a flattering favorite for the mom-to-be and allows for room to grow so you can style throughout the trimesters and beyond.  Zoey wears our Short Sleeve Fit and Flare Maternity Dress  to show off her growing bump.

Finally, you can never go wrong with stripes! This preppy and pretty print is a spring staple and a go-to for the expecting mom!  Try a striped dress like Zoey or a tee for a casual take on the trend.

We love how Zoey accessorized with a matching statement necklace, white strappy wedges and a lighter blue bag. How would you style this dress? Share with us below and shop all our dresses for the season. Make sure to show us your spring style with the hashtag #thisisgoingtobefun!
