SWIMWEAR AS RTW, SUMMER’s GIFT TO THE PREGNANTISTA
11
Summer pregnancies? THE BEST!
.
Yes, it’s hot. Yes, heat causes swelling. But, the upshot is that you can avoid the incredible bulk of a winter pregnancy and channel some St Tropez sultriness.
.
The trick: sporting beach cover ups as RTW. Pop into a trendy boutique or the swim department of a large retailer and scoop up a few printed caftans and a chic pareo (a.k.a oversized scarf used to wrap around the waist). A caftan’s generous cut is a gift from the fashion fertility gods. They are comfy and thoroughly au courant. Pair your pareo with a tight tank top. Just wrap it around your waist and knot it under the bump. The best part? Both of these summer wardrobe staples have “before and after” appeal. They are perfect now and can be worn for dozens of family vacations to come.
.
Expert tip: Dress up casual caftans and pareo looks with dramatic gold dangle earrings and a pair of elegant wedges.
