Fashion Bump

As the big freeze finally arrives today’s fashion is big on warmth without losing it’s cool.  As everyone knows your head needs to be covered to stop those winter chills.  The Aviator Hat by Celtic Sheepskin in brown leather with real sheepskin lining does the job.

Next a quality jacket is needed, go no further than a John Partridge quilted jacket in Teflon coated nylon that is trimmed with a moleskin collar, your man can be comfortable while still looking stylish.

Cardigans are so in this year, and there is a bewildering choice, but Original Penguin by Richard Chai has produced a limited edition dark grey shawl collar plaid cardi.  With its large pockets and chunky buttons its very 60′s.
Paul Smith at Jules B goes for the multi check shirt, which will look good with Eden Park Desert denim trousers at Geoffrey Gillow Darlington.

Winter fashions are a great look for any guy and thankfully both designer and high street stores are stocking a variety of looks this season.  This certainly makes it a little easier to dress our guys!  As long as you choose the right fit, you will have your man looking stylishly warm in no time!  Bring on the chill!

We mightn’t get snow this year but there’s always plenty of rain and as wellingtons are a fashion statement this year.  For the ultimate style, wellington warmers are needed, try Fleece Wellington socks by Barbour.  For the more energetic man the Belstaff gilet allows easy movement especially for bikers, its down filled so is very warm yet still super stylish.  Ensuring your mans hands will be kept warm this winter is a simple task as there are some amazing gloves made with a conductive material in the index finger and thumb from Isotoner SmaTouch at www.firebox.com.

Every expectant mother tends to grow in size around the midriff, which in turn means a lot of our beloved clothes no longer fit anymore!

Thus shouldn’t however mean reaching for the baggiest items in our wardrobe, just because you are expecting, this by no means should mean losing that pre-baby style!

Many expecting mums will actually be glowing with health and happiness, so why not take advantage of your glowing face and really work that style!

There are arrays of high-street boutiques and designer stores that stock stylish pregnancy wear! The clobber has been designed with only the expectant mum in mind and comes in the shape of stylish on-trend pieces that will flaunt that bump, rather than hide it!

Clothes chosen should make you feel both confident and comfortable, if you are able to achieve both of the above, you will be well on your way to being the most stylish mum out there!

Opt for things you would normally wear but in a slightly different cut, such as the baby doll look for example! Such a style emphasises your upper half and flows softly over your lower half, meaning the attention will be drawn to your assets as appose to your growing bump!

Choose things that offer comfortable and cooling fabrics, stay well away from the likes of Lycra and anything too clingy!

Stand up tall, wear what you wish to wear and flaunt that bump! Being stylish is all about confidence, and if you have that, you will look glowing and effortlessly stylish!

Just because you are an expecting mum, this by no means should mean revamping your wardrobe in a non-glam way!  Flaunt your bump and take that wardrobe up a notch or two!

There are of course things you should stay away from, such as super involved patterns, tight lycra material and anything that is too short and too low.  In fact you should probably avoid the last one whether you are pregnant or not!

Expecting a baby is a great thing and there are an array of designers and boutiques that cater for the post pregnancy figure.  In fact it is more than likely that your favourite high street shop or designer store have all the styles you love in a shape that allows for a little more leeway.

Clever tailoring can create a more svelte figure, even if you are carrying a little more weight than usual.  Black is always a good colour to invest in; it doesn’t however have to be the only colour you wear.  Add other block colours in order to create something that scream ‘wow’ yet doesn’t go over board.

Baby doll dresses are also a great option for any up and coming Christmas parties, not only will you feel super glam, you will also be relaxed in what you are wearing.  Such a dress tends to flaunt your good bits and hide the bits you don’t want on show!

Team with a killer pair of heels and an uber glam clutch.  Cinch the outfit together with a cutesy belt.

Add a few statement pieces to your outfit in order to give it that little extra something.  Using jewellery, belts, cutesy jackets and statement shoes can create this.  Remember to jazz your make-up up as well; this will certainly have all the boys staring!

Beyoncé, mum to be, was recently seen out and about sporting some very chic maternity attire.  The mummy to be was snapped sporting a stunning deep, rich emerald maxi dress that showed off her bump perfectly.

This is the perfect relaxing attire and looks good both day and night.  Wear with flats and simple locks on a day and team with gold jewels and your hair piled up high on an evening out.

The maxi, whether you opt for a maxi skirt or dress is a great piece for holidays.  It is easy to roll up in your suitcase and will expand as your bump does, if purchased in a stretchy or free flowing fabric.

Other must-have investment pieces for yummy mummies include the likes of jeans with elastic waistbands, baby doll dresses and tees and loosely styled trousers.  All can still look stylish and smart, yet all will also allow you to breathe.

Fabric is an important factor.  Choose light and breathable fabrics as appose to heavy, itchy or tight materials.  These will only make you appear to look larger and will also make you look and feel uncomfortable.

Pregnant woman often feel bloated, hot and uncomfortable.  Adding uncomfortable clothes to the mix will only emphasis this un-comfort.

If you look uncomfortable, you will feel less confident.  Being pregnant often means you are glowing with health and happiness, don’t let anything get in the way, especially not clothes.

Don’t hide your bump!  Baggy clothes will only make you look bigger than you in fact are!  Don’t be afraid to stick to your usually style, just tailor it in a way that will suit your pregnant body!
