Dressing the Bump: The Fashion Girl's Guide to a Pregnant Party Season

Hello, my name is Jade and I am the proud owner of a pregnant body. Over the past five months, I've learned that maternity dressing for events is hard, but not impossible. While your go-to Levi's may no longer fit, there are ample brands that will, such as: Ellery, Camilla and Marc, Bassike and Zimmermann (cue another excuse to shop).

Whether you're dressing for Sunday lunch or after-five, follow the lead of Pernille Teisbaek and Eva Chen—embrace the third-piece rule, experiment with different shapes and don't be afraid to go up a size in brands you already wear. You're pregnant, not lacking taste!

Scroll to shop bump-friendly event outfits you'll continue to wear post-birth.
