Athleisure: The Ultimate Fashion Trend for Mums & Mums-To-Be

Have you heard? Athleisure is everything right now!

Here at Seraphine, we think this season’s hottest trend must have been made with mums in mind. It infuses comfy sports & leisure wear with a touch of style for a look that’s as chic as it is easy-to-wear. Perfect for a day on the go, from the school run to the shops, to the gym and back again.

Here are a few of our Athleisure-inspired favourites…

The Maternity Jumper

Soft, slouchy & ultra-easy to wear, the Grey Marl Roll Neck Maternity & Nursing Jumper takes casual cool to a whole new level. Offering chic, sporty details like the under-bump drawstring ties and zip down roll neck (which incidentally is perfect for nursing after the little one arrives), this gorgeous grey maternity sweater will soon become your everyday essential.

The Maternity Leggings

A fashion staple for pregnancy & beyond, browse our selection of comfy maternity leggings to find your perfect pair. Nothing will boost your confidence post-pregnancy like a pair of our incredible shaping leggings – offering super support & a fantastically flat tummy!

The Maternity Pants

Chic outside, brushed & fleecy inside, our Lounge Maternity Pants are the ultimate weekend style. Fantastically comfy for lounging at home, they taper stylishly at the ankle – perfect for getting out and about. You could even pair them with heels and some statement jewellery for an edgy evening look!

The Active Kit

And of course, if you really want to work the trend this season, The Active Kit is your star buy! Four sporty essentials, all neatly packed in their own matching gym bag, The Active Kit is designed for mamas who want to keep moving through their pregnancies & beyond!

The kit features a super-supportive maternity & nursing sports bra, a stretchy active tank top & a non-slip headband to keep your hair in place. The stylish pair of workout pants are perfect worn under or over the bump. Pull them up for a little extra support around your middle, or to slim your silhouette after baby is born. Then fold them down when you’re ready to show off your shape!

This kit is a must-have for the gym, the yoga studio or for getting out jogging. It’s so comfy you’ll find yourself looking for excuses to suit up & get active!

London Fashion Week: Autumn Maternity Fashion Trend Report

Here at London Fashion Week we are loving the Spring Summer 17 collections coming down the catwalks. But as we gear up to wave a bitter-sweet goodbye to summer, our attention is turning to autumn. Arguably the most exciting fashion season, we can’t wait to start kicking up the leaves and trying out the new trends! Here’s our roundup of the top looks to try this season.

Marvellous Metallics

Tis the season to wear sparkles! From Temperley to Opening Ceremony and Alexander McQueen, designers were all in agreement that now is your time to shine. Whether you choose top to toe shimmer like our Dazzle Draped Maternity Cocktail Dress or a few subtle sequins like our No To Champagne Maternity Top, make sure that your look sparkles and shines this season.

The Statement Coat

Of course it wouldn’t be autumn without a statement coat, and this season’s offering didn’t disappoint! From chic military inspired looks to huge puffa coats and classic trenches, the runways had something for everyone this season. Prepare to fend off the winter chill with our Diamond Down Maternity Coat, or our chic Wool & Cashmere Two Tone Maternity Coat.

Back to Black

If you’re the type to spend each morning choosing between 5 different outfits, all in chic jet black, then this trend is for you! This season countless models strutted their stuff in top to toe black, and the effect was stunning. Recreate the look by teaming our Black Lace Detail Maternity Shirt with our Faux Leather Panel Maternity Leggings and turn the glamour up a few notches!

Athleisure

This trend must have been made with mums in mind. Designers are blurring the lines between fashion & comfy sportswear ever further and we are eternally grateful! Now you can roll from the yoga studio to the street, or from your couch to the coffee shop all while rocking your comfy leggings, sneakers and sporty chic sweater! Team a pair of maternity leggings with our Marble Grey Roll Neck Maternity & Nursing Jumper.

The Cape

Super stylish capes of every shape, size & description came down the fashion week runways this season, and we can’t wait to start working the look. Transition the seasons with our Luxury Shawl Wrap – a chic cover up for every occasion. Or get the look by teaming our Cable Knit Cape Maternity Jumper with your favourite skinny maternity jeans.

Makeup Ideas to Try this Autumn: New Season, New You

Happy Autumn mamas! With the weather turning and new season styles flooding the shops, what better time to shake up your makeup routine and try out a few new makeup ideas!

Moody Lips

OK, so going a shade or two darker for autumn isn’t exactly a revolutionary move. But this season is set to take the look a step further with a fantastic array of moody lipsticks. Take your pick from deep berry shades, through dusky purples verging on black! Work the look with minimal makeup during the day, then vamp it up with a sweep of eyeliner for the evening.

Wear it with:

Maternity dresses in chic winter berry shades

Black is the New Black

And when it comes to eyeliner, designers and makeup artists agree this season that black truly is the new black. Whether you opt for a subtle sweep at the lash line, classic wings, or something more bold and graphic, the application is up to you – just so long as it’s black!

Wear it with:

Black Lace Detail Maternity Shirt

Natural Glow

Balancing out those dramatic eyes and lips, this season’s complexion is all about the natural glow – great news for expectant mamas! Put those contouring brushes away for a while; all you need this season is a touch of highlighter where there should be highlights and subtle blush where you might naturally flush.

Wear it with:

Maternity Trench Coat

Glitter for Grown Ups

And the best news of all – glitter is in! A touch of sparkle is the perfect way to set off your look, and this season is all about the glitter. A subtle sweep at the corner of your eye is all you need for the daytime, then amp up the sparkle in the evening to take this glitzy trend to glamorous new heights.

Wear it with:

Reversible Sequin Maternity Sweater
