If your first thought after seeing the positive pregnancy test was fear that you would have to stop shopping at Saks and start scouring the maternity racks at K-Mart, you’re about to hear some good news. Modern maternity clothes don’t have much in common with the shapeless moo-moos of yesterday. Just because you’re pregnant doesn’t mean you should be compelled to wear a T-shirt that billows over your chest, stretches over your stomach, and obnoxiously reads “Baby” in a large font. If playing Mozart to a fetus can make the baby smarter, just imagine what bad fashion sense must do to a poor child’s future. Instead, you can now find maternity clothes from all of your favorite designers.
In years past, the first sign of pregnancy was a sense of fashion impairment. However, this is no longer the case. Just as modern motherhood has changed, modern maternity clothes and even diaper bags are designed to keep up with all kinds of modern mothers-whether you’re chic or goth. Whether you’d prefer to highlight your growing baby bump or keep it covered with comfortable, flowing garments, today’s maternity clothes have the styles, patterns and cuts that you’re looking for–whether you’re hitting the gym, hosting the Oscars or heading to the office.
But being a stylish mom doesn’t have to end at birth. Just like modern maternity clothes have replaced the unattractive garments of the past, today’s baby gear is smart, stylish and easy to use. No more playpens and baby strollers that are so hard to put together that you accidentally teach your child a few unattractive words as you shake them and smash them into the locking position. For instance, the iCandy stroller is a stylish, sleek travel system that functions more like an accessory than a stroller. So if you’re expecting an addition, you’d better build two new rooms–one for your nursery and another for purses that match your iCandy stroller and all those cute baby shoes you’ve begun looking at!
