Stripes are a spring/summer staple and well worth the investment as they are fantastic for layering on the more chilly days. Ignore the traditional sartorial saying that horizontal stripes are unflattering and fattening. Instead go against the grain while you're pregnant as the stripes will define your bump and emphasis your natural shape giving you a curvy silhouette. If you're in any doubt just take a look at Jools Oliver!
Asos maternity always offer an array of stripes; thick, thin, horizontal, white, blue, black etc etc so make sure they're your first port of call. The Puff Sleeve Stripe Dress, £28 is a good length while the buttoned shoulder and ribbon bow softens the bold stripes, giving the dress a more feminine feel.
M2b's Striped Tunic with Angel Sleeves, £21 is ideal for large-chested mums-to-be as the draped neckline will distract the eye from following the stripes horizontally. What's more, the angel sleeves hang more delicately on the top arms, so you won't have to worry about your bingos!
Topshop's button striped tunic, £35 is perfect for pregnant women in their third trimester. It's floaty without being overly bagging and can be teamed with leggings or on it's own.
