There’s nothing better to perk up your spirits than some sunshine, whether it’s on a bucket and spade break in this country or on foreign shores. The sudden return of great weather in the UK has got us thinking about maternity swimwear and all the other items you might be wanting over the coming weeks to ensure you’re ready to hit the golden sands and feel fantastic about your body.
Don’t be concerned that it’s difficult to dress for warm weather now you’ve got a bump, either – all you need to do is invest in a few pieces that will build you a comprehensive maternity holiday wardrobe and you’ll find it’s a breeze. This part is really key to body confidence – don’t try to make your old beach wear stretch and change to fit you now, as it just won’t provide the support you need. For instance, past bikini tops may buckle under the pressure from your expanding chest, while bikini bottoms even from last year could start travelling southwards as you move. Neither makes for a good look – and it could prove embarrassing!
Instead, take a peek at Seraphine’s swimwear collection, as everything has been designed with pregnancy in mind for comfort, support and a really flattering look. Here’s a quick taster of some of our favourites.
We have plenty of swimwear to suit all tastes, whether it’s a maternity bikini, tankini or one-piece you’re after. You’ll soon notice that all or items have special adaptations to suit your new curves – the bikinis, for example, have roll-top fabric on the bottoms where they meet your tummy, so you can pull them up or down depending on where on your bump you want them to sit. One-pieces are very on-trend this summer, while tankinis offer the best of both worlds – you can move them around if you want some air to your middle, or keep the top pulled down.

Cover-ups
We all know it’s not a good idea to get too much sun, so cover-ups are an essential for both beach breaks and picnics in the park. If you’re heading to the coast, you want something you can fold up into a bag so it’s easy to carry, but that also looks great when you pull it on. A maternity kaftan is the perfect solution, as it’s light enough to keep you feeling cool and also offers plenty of coverage. Go for one with plenty of shaping though, so it’s flattering as opposed to tent-like!

Co-ordinating pieces
Even if you plan to do little else but relax on your holidays this summer, you’ll still want to leave the beach at some point. Consequently, make sure you pack plenty of maternity wear that can be thrown on quickly, leaving you comfortable and free to go exploring. A combination of maternity shorts, maxi skirts, light tops and dresses is your best bet, as this mini-capsule wardrobe will leave you covered for every eventuality. You can even mix and match it with your swimwear for an easygoing vibe.
