When Kate Middleton stepped out of the hospital carrying the future King of England, the world was struck not only by the obviously loving relationship between the two proud parents, but also by Kate’s fashionable display of her post-baby bump. The duchess looked positively regal in her blue and white polka dot Jenny Packham custom creation. No doubt, Middleton will continue to inspire women around the world as she embraces those few extra post-baby pounds while continuing to make public appearances, all while appearing the height of fashion. For us commoners without a royal title and access to specially made clothing, we’ve collected some of the best dressing tips for post baby figures.
First of all, invest in a good pair of jeans that fits where you are right now. We know you aim to get back into your pre-baby denim but that could take a while and a good-looking pair of jeans, to wear now, is a great investment.
Next, accentuate the positive. Shirts with more room around the tummy area can still expose sexy post-baby cleavage or, perhaps, still toned arms. Wide belts work wonders as well. Plus, broader shoulders will even out the enlarged chest area and make you feel more confident.
Also, look into your closet to see if you have any pre-baby or even maternity black dresses that can even be cinched with a fresh belt or colorful scarf. Black truly is flattering, and you can play with the fit a bit to get your new proportions just right.
Lastly, remember, it took almost a year to put on the weight and it will take that much time to get it off. Looking stylish and dressing comfortably will help you feel great getting there!
