Luxe in the city | Styling your maternity clothes post pregnancy

When buying maternity clothes, many of us tend to air on the side of caution when it comes to how much we need. After all, you can only wear it for 9 months right?

Wrong! We’re here to prove that many of the gorgeous clothes you buy throughout your pregnancy will fit and flatter for your full nine months, and will continue to look fabulous long after your little one has arrived, and for years to come!

But you don’t have to take our word for it – let’s take a look….

Luxury Black Lace Maternity Occasion Dress

Our best selling black lace dress is a super sexy style whether you’re pregnant or not! Luxurious peek-a-boo lace swathes your arms and collar bones, and the style stretches to accommodate your growing curves, then pings back for a perfect post-pregnancy fit! Everybody loves a bit of lace, and this little black lacey dress is sure to become one of your go-to pieces for when you’re after a touch of glamour. Style it simply with heels for a party, or juxtapose the ultra-feminine lace with our Black Post Pregnancy Tummy Tuck Leggings and a leather jacket to create the perfect rock chic look.

Dove Grey Multiway Maternity Dress

The fluid skirt on this slinky silvery little number drapes beautifully from the empire line and gives plenty of swish as you walk. It’s perfect to accommodate your blossoming bump, and then after baby is born, it fits as a flirty flowing cocktail dress with plenty of gathers at the front to disguise any trace of a mummy tummy. You can even change the way you tie the long sashes to create a totally new look each time you wear it! The subtly shimmering fabric catches the light and swirls as you move – this is a super feminine style that simply begs to be danced in!

During pregnancy, the luxurious stretch lace grows with your curves, then after your baby is born, the dress drapes perfectly down over your body with not a trace of bulk or bunching. The flattering sweetheart neckline provides a nice boost for your bust, and the feminine shape is echoed through in the low scooped back for a flirty rear view! This is quite simply a beautiful little lacey dress – worn after pregnancy, nobody would guess it was maternity wear! Wear it simply with heels and a handbag for a party, or style it with the Ivory Cropped Peplum Jacket for a super stylish dressed up look – perfect for a spring wedding!

Silk Chiffon Polka Dot Dress

The perfect polka dot dress; this luxurious silk chiffon style feels light as air to wear, and drapes from the empire line with pretty pleats for a flattering fit before, during and after pregnancy! Sheer panels are one of the hottest trends this year, and the silky sheer chiffon sleeves on this cheeky polka dot dress are the perfect way to work the trend without giving too much away. A polka dot print is a classic look that never dates, so you’ll still feel fantastic in this dress years down the line!

We’ve rounded up some of the hottest SS16 trends in beauty and fashion – so sit back, relax and prepare to be inspired!

SS16 Beauty Trends

After a few seasons of ‘no-makeup-makeup’ ruling the runways, we are pleased to report that the classic red lip is back and bigger than ever! This look united designers and makeup artists across the board with sexy red lipsticks making a big impression everywhere from Oscar de la Renta to Jason Wu and DKNY.

And just in case that wasn’t enough colour for you, blue eyeshadow was the break out look of the season! We saw everything from bold blue liners, to subtle touches, and special mention must go to the powder blue bandit masks at Chanel.

SS16 Hair Trends

Good news mamas – the big story this season when it comes to hair is the come as you are trend! This season more models than ever walked the catwalks with their own length, style and texture intact. In fact some of the most talked about models were the ones who dare to be different – think Ruth Bell, Edie Campbell and Peyton Knight. So this season is all about rocking your signature style and letting your hair do its thing, whether that’s tight curls, poker straight or a short sharp crop – this zero fuss all natural trend is perfect for busy mums!

And for those days that call for something a little bit special, the star accessory this season was the tiara! Seen everywhere from St Laurent to Dolce & Gabbana, Givenchy and Chanel, if you don’t fancy going full princess on your night out, why not add a stylish embellished Alice band like our Ivy Hair Band to complete your look.

SS16 Maternity Fashion

Wondering what to wear to show off your newly revamped look? SS16 has fashion trends galore – here are just a few of our favourites….

Gingham had a major fashion moment this season – Victoria Beckham, Celine & Stella McCartney all revamped this classic feminine look to fabulous effect. Our Gingham Cotton Maternity Dresses in blush pink or blue are the perfect way to work the look. Along the same lines, Stripes – always a flattering choice for pregnancy – was another style making a splash on the runways at shows like Prada and Dolce & Gabbana. Try our Striped Maternity & Nursing Dress for a bump flattering look that’s perfect for spring.

But it’s not all stripes, checks and geometric prints, Christian Dior’s SS16 show was awash with romantic designs in feminine fabrics and soft pastel shades. Get the look with our Pink Printed Maternity Dress or put a bohemian twist on the style with our off the shoulder Crochet Lace Maternity Dress.

And when it comes to denim, from Chanel’s denim gown to Alexander McQueen’s stunning embroidered coat, this season is all about the statement piece! Pregnant fashion bloggers can’t get enough of our Premium Stretch Denim Maternity Jump Suit, and our Chambray Belted Maternity Shirt Dress is one of the star pieces in this season’s collection.

How it works

From the Designer

“Being able to offer a fashionable looking shoe that has real health benefit is very exciting and I hope you will enjoy wearing them as much as I enjoyed developing this new venture. The creation of ShoeTherapy meant a lot to me, as I myself have experienced the discomfort of back ache and how incapacitating it can be.” – Cecile Reinaud

Tried & Tested

These shoes are made with patented technology, and are clinically proven to reduce back ache and joint pain, but don’t take our work for it – they are loved by doctors and fashion editors alike:

“Your shoes saved my life. I had forgotten my flats and having walked down Baker St in my 6 inch stacks, I was in need of help. I have been wearing them as my in-betweeners ever since. I love them, they are comfy and cute and I like the sneaky yet supportive heel. I think the trendy pregnant patient will also love them.” – Pixie Mckenna – Doctor and Channel 4 TV presenter

“These ShoeTherapy pumps are so comfy it feels like you are wearing trainers not ballet pumps! Perfect for later pregnancy when the thought of wearing heels doesn’t go beyond the thought! However these aren’t just a pregnancy purchase; they are perfect when you have to walk far but want to arrive in something stylish. I will be walking miles with my buggy in these.” – Ali Hall – Editor Look magazine

So go on, treat yourself to a gorgeous new pair of flats for spring – You deserve it!

Seraphine’s maternity fashion FAQ for expectant brides-to-be

If you are planning a wedding and expecting a baby all at the same time, then first thing’s first; congratulations! And secondly – don’t panic. We have some truly exquisite bridal gowns, designed to flatter your changing figure. In fact, our bridal collection was recently featured in Irish wedding blog One Fab Day.

Planning your wedding is an incredibly exciting process, but there are of course plenty of big decisions to be made, and expecting a little one all at the same time not only amplifies the joy, but can bring with it a few extra considerations to bare in mind – especially when it comes to what you are going to wear! We’ve put together a helpful little FAQ for expectant brides to see you stylishly on your way to looking and feeling fabulous on your big day.

1) What is the best cut to flatter my changing curves?

As a maternity fashion brand, here at Seraphine we love our empire lines! The empire line cut is a super star style that is guaranteed to flatter your figure at every stage of pregnancy. It nips you in just under your bust to highlight the slimmest part of your body, and then flows down to skim comfortably over your curves, leaving plenty of room for your growing bump. Choosing a wedding dress with an empire line cut allows you to select your dream dress well in advance, without worrying about what size your bump will be on the big day!

Try our Ivory Multiway Grecian Wedding Gown for a stunning bridal style in pure silk, with a flowing skirt that will drape beautifully over your figure.

2) Can I get away with a shorter length?

The answer here is – of course you can! Showing off a little bit of leg in a stylish knee length bridal dress can be a lovely way of balancing out your bump. The main thing to think about when choosing your wedding dress is to find a style that allows you to show off your best assets. If you love your legs, don’t be afraid to flaunt them, or if you have upper arms that Michelle Obama would be proud of, opt for a sleeveless style! Your baby bump shouldn’t mean that you have to rule out any of your favourite styles. If you take the time to browse specialist maternity bridal shops and sites (like our own Luxe Bridal Collection), you are sure to find a whole host of styles, lengths, cuts and fabrics on offer – don’t let yourself feel limited!

3) How much can I expect to pay?

The good news is – You really can find a maternity bridal dress to suit any budget these days, so there’s no need to worry about breaking the bank to accommodate your bump! On the other hand, this is your special day after all, so we suggest investing in a bridal gown that is specifically tailored to flatter your pregnancy curves. Spending a little bit more to enjoy that perfect comfortable and flexible fit can really pay off on the big day.

Try our Ivory Lace and Silk Maternity Gown and feel the difference for your self – luxurious fabrics and expert tailoring for pregnancy will have you feeling sensational for your special day.

4) Help! How do I dress my pregnant bridesmaid?

A pregnant bridesmaid may sound like a sartorial nightmare, but actually there are some fantastic options out there, which will flatter her blossoming bump however far along she is (and they’ll look equally fantastic on her non-pregnant co-bridesmaids – score!) Our Multiway Maternity Dresses are available in soft dove grey or cornflower blue, or in a maxi length in cobalt blue & midnight blue, and are all simply perfect for bridesmaids. The empire line cut flatters all shapes and sizes, allowing plenty of room for a growing bump. But the real beauty of these dresses lies with the multiway sashes, which can be wrapped, tied, twisted and knotted in different ways to create all sorts of different but equally fabulous looks – if you like, you could even create a unique style for each bridesmaid with one miraculous dress!

Seraphine’s Top Five Tips for Fierce Maternity Work Wear

As a working woman, you will have mastered the art of business dressing. You look sharp in a suit, and your don’t-mess-with-me power dresses never fail to make a good impression. You may have a carefully cultivated capsule wardrobe full of colour coordinated pieces to mix, match and accessorise, but when your body is about to embark on the crazy nine month journey that is pregnancy, it may be a good idea to sit down and have a wardrobe re-think.

But don’t be put off! The good news is that whether you’re pregnant or not, the rules of fashion are essentially the same, with just a few minor adjustments to flatter your changing shape.

Here is a list of the top 5 most important things to know about dressing your bump for the office:

1) The Suit

Invest in a good quality maternity suit at the beginning of your pregnancy, and it will see you stylishly through your full nine months.

When shopping for a maternity blazer it’s a good idea to keep certain things in mind. Firstly, look for stretch fabrics such as jersey or soft Ponte di Roma – this is a piece that ought to flatter your figure throughout pregnancy, so it needs to be able to grow with you. Secondly, the cut should be tailored in towards your empire line, which, as your pregnancy progresses, will become your new natural waist.

When it comes to skirts and trousers, the most important consideration to make, is whether you want them to fit over or under your bump as it grows. There is no right or wrong answer here; it’s all about what feels most comfortable to you!

2) The Dress

A small collection of flattering maternity dresses in different colours and patterns can go a very long way to transforming your office style during pregnancy. The best way to flatter your changing figure is to choose dresses that focus on the empire line. This will help to define your new shape, allowing plenty of room for your growing curves, and drawing attention to the slimmest part of your body. Flowing A-line dresses will be incredibly comfortable, and don’t be afraid to flaunt your changing curves in a figure hugging bodycon style!

3) The Shirt

When it comes to shirts and blouses, it really is important to get a good fit, and investing in a maternity shirt is one way of guaranteeing this throughout your pregnancy. A good quality maternity shirt will be made in soft stretch cotton that is kind on sensitive skin and will adapt to your changing curves. Yet again, it’s all about the empire line, and it’s a good idea to look for a shirt that is cut long, to ensure that your curves are kept neatly covered at every stage of your pregnancy.

4) The Shoes

During pregnancy, it’s more important than ever to choose shoes that support your feet properly. We know it isn’t easy to hear, but flats really are the way to go if you want to prevent back pain and avoid swollen ankles. ShoeTherapy is a fantastic range of stylish ballet pumps and loafers, which are ergonomically designed to improve your posture and boost your circulation during pregnancy. Not only do they provide all of these fantastic health benefits, but they also look smart and professional, and are unbelievably comfortable to wear – even when you are on your feet all day long. Once you’ve tried these comfortable little ballet flats, you may not want to go back to your heels!

5) The Accessories

The right accessories can make all the difference to your maternity office wear style; lifting your mood and adding an extra fashion edge to any outfit. They will also help you to keep your capsule maternity wardrobe looking fresh. Add a printed scarf around your neck to jazz up a plain maternity dress, or define your shape with a simple empire belt. After your baby is born, a stylish tote changing bag can help you to keep your things and your baby’s bits and pieces organised while you’re out and about.

Work It: 5 Tips for Dressing a Baby Bump at the Office

When you’re expecting, striking the style balance at work can be a tricky business. But here at Seraphine we are here to help! Work your new curves in professional style with our top 5 tips for dressing your bump at the office.

Classic black, white and grey are the staples of a smart professional wardrobe, but that doesn’t mean that it has to be boring! Nothing says workwear chic like a little black maternity dress; or why not make a fashion statement in a stylish patterned dress. Seraphine founder Cecile Reinaud suggests choosing one rich colour to mix with your staple black, and accessorising in the same shade.

When it comes to choosing maternity shirts and blouses for the office, we love a loose and floaty style that drapes comfortably over the bump. Try teaming our Ivory Maternity Blouse with a pair of our Slim Fit Black Maternity Trousers – the loose shirt is designed to fall beautifully over your figure, creating a stylish contrast with the fitted bottoms which slim and lengthen your legs.

You can’t beat a classic maternity wrap dress for pregnancy at the office. These versatile dresses are stylish, comfy, office appropriate, and most importantly, they allow you to adjust the fit to flatter your figure through every stage of pregnancy. Our Black Maternity Wrap Dress is so easy to accessorize – it will be an invaluable addition to your pregnancy wardrobe.

Another fantastic styling feature to look out for when building your maternity workwear wardrobe, is ruching. A classic stretch jersey dress with ruching at the sides is guaranteed to see you stylishly through every trimester. Our Printed Side Ruched Maternity Dress is the perfect style for your spring and summer work wear repertoire (and can easily be glammed up for an evening out too!)

And of course even the most stylish work wear ensemble will be worn in vain without the correct maternity lingerie to underpin the style. A few supportive maternity bras, vest tops, and a good collection of maternity tights and leggings will help to smooth and support your figure, creating a flattering base for all of your office wear outfits.

Find the perfect maternity dress for your Valentine’s date night!

With a baby on the way, you and your partner may be feeling extra specially loved up this Valentine’s Day, so it’s important that you make sure to celebrate in style!

To give you a little fashion inspiration, we’ve put together a little list of dream date night scenarios, and suggested the perfect maternity dresses to suit the occasion:

The Daytime Date

A romantic stroll with your love is a beautiful thing at anytime of the day! Head out on a day trip somewhere you’ve never been before and explore together, or go local and take in all of your favourite sights, making sure to visit those special places that remind you of why you fell in love – you know the ones we mean.

This kind of date needs a dress that looks great and is comfy & easy to move in.

Romantic Meal Out

Dinner out at your favourite fancy restaurant is a lovely way to treat yourselves on Valentine’s Day: Sharing a fantastic meal in a romantic setting and not having to worry about who’s turn it is to do the washing up!

This is the kind of date that calls for something a little bit special when it comes to choosing an outfit. Silk, lace, chiffon; the world is your oyster.

Romantic Dinner at Home

If you don’t want the hassle of going out, a cosy dinner at home with your man and the bump could be the perfect relaxing way to spend the evening. Whether you cook for him, he cooks for you, or you go for a take away, a quality evening in with just the two of you is a fantastic stress free way to reconnect.

In this setting simple, elegant style is key. Nothing too posh: This night is all about you and your man – not you and your dress!

Seraphine’s Maternity Fashion Forecast – January, February & March

Here at Seraphine, we can’t wait for spring – we’re already dreaming of sunny days and spring flowers.

But before we get there of course, we have the small matter of the next couple of months.

For now, we’re keeping wrapped up in our maternity jumpers and coats, but the future is looking brighter as we look further ahead. Here’s our maternity fashion forecast for January, February and March, to help see you through the winter months in style.

January

It’s still very cold outside, so it’s important to wrap up warm with plenty of cosy maternity jumpers, and a good quality maternity coat is a must! Why not treat yourself to a touch of luxury with a silky faux fur collar to keep out the winter chill!

Roll Neck Maternity & Nursing Jumper in Chestnut or Black

February

Here’s hoping that February brings slightly warmer weather – we’re thinking jeans, cardigans and scarves. We’re optimistic here at Seraphine, so we like to think that by the end of the month, we’ll be able to switch to a lighter jacket!

Black Maternity Coatigan
Dark Wash Slim Leg Maternity Jeans
Blue Lace Print Scarf

March

In March it should start to feel noticeably warmer, with longer days and much more sun (at least we hope so). It may even be safe to start venturing out without a jacket! A chunky cardigan and a warm scarf should keep you nicely cosy.

Now that January is getting well underway, we thought that it was about time to start getting excited about the big fashion trends that are getting ready to hit later this year!

So without further ado, here are our top 5 fashion trends to watch out for in 2014:

Dazzling Blue

The colour gurus over at Pantone have named Dazzling Blue as one of the key colours for 2014 and we couldn’t agree more! This vibrant shade is the perfect colour to bring out the radiance in any complexion, and is guaranteed to lift your mood.

Lust for Lace

We love the luxurious lacey styles around at the moment, and it looks like they’re here to stay! Look out for cheeky peekaboo lace panels in your day wear, and intricate black lace laid over jewel tones for evening wear that simply oozes high octane glamour.

Get the Look:

Nautical Stripes

Nautical vibes are set to be big for 2014, and you can expect to see elements of this fun fashion trend filtering in throughout spring, and then really gaining momentum into summer. Chic Breton stripes and whimsical nautical accessories will be big next year, which is great news if you’re expecting, as horizontal stripes are the perfect style for showing off your growing bump!

Get the look:

Sheer Peekaboo Panels

Sheer fabrics and peekaboo panels are set to become one of the biggest fashion trends for 2014, with almost every designer incorporating this daring look into their SS14 collections. Here at Seraphine, we have plenty of elegant sheer and peekaboo options, from delicate Georgette sleeves, to a sheer pintuck blouse to pair with a cute camisole and maternity jeans.

Colour Block

Colour blocking is one of those summer time trends which comes around year after year. Chic, versatile and so easy to style, rocking a colour block inspired maternity look will give you an instant fashion edge, and will have you looking and feeling fantastic all day long. Playing with colour blocks is a great way to flaunt your fabulous pregnant figure by highlighting your empire line!
