You are probably reading this, as you have just delivered or expecting soon. What should you wear? Should you hide your post-partum belly? Can you actually go back to looking like your old self? These questions may be plaguing you. All being said, there is no separate capsule wardrobe for new moms.
Buy maternity wear based on your lifestyle, budget, and personality. And, Oh! We forgot to mention, the Indian weather is tropical, so consider that.
So, here we are curating the best capsule wardrobe for new moms.
The Good Old Jeans Wear
These are a must-have for new mums, as you can wear them for the next one year or so. That is until, you have lost your mommy pooch. More often than not, these have buttons, which makes fitting easy.
The Typical Maternity Nursing Dress
These dresses often have a nursing feature, like a middle zip or a horizontal zip. Additionally, they come in myriad colours and patterns. Some are even made with stretchy fabric.
The Easy Leggings
This is another one of those must haves for a capsule wardrobe for new moms. The very fact that they are stretch adds to their best benefit. You can pair them with oversized shirts, long kurtas and what not? They add comfort and ease to your look.
The Versatile Shirt
Although, you may not be working, you can still have this staple. Good for semi-formal occasions and brunches, you can even layer them in the winter season. They are too good for feeding, with minimal effort. And if you are working and plan to be back to your office after delivery, this is irreplaceable.
The Flowy Dress
This is another post-partum staple for new mums. They are effortless, and you can dress them up or down, depending on your needs. You can go for A-line dresses in medium length or ones with an empire waist. They make you look slimmer and also hide your mommy pooch.
No matter, what you choose to wear, always pay attention to the fabric. Muslin, rayon, cotton, and poly cotton are the most comfortable ones that you can lay your hands on. So, happy motherhood!
