It's all about color! And skinny bottoms, including this neon pink pair, get a fresh new update in a palette of pastels. Wear them with neutral tops so the pants really pop.

SPORTY STRIPES

Clean stripes contour the bump and are a must-have for spring. I especially love how the zigzag pattern of this pretty empire-waist dress flatter and frame a more curvy shape.

BOWS & BELTS

Feminine accents like ties, bows and skinny belts work well on expecting moms. When placed high above your bump, they create a flattering silhouette and are an effortless way to add a little extra something to an outfit.

BRIGHT BLAZER

Classic jackets in rich colors can transform any maternity look and make it current for the season. Wear a colored blazer with skinny jeans and a striped tee for a polished and comfy ensemble.

BOYFRIEND JEAN

This roomy denim silhouette is back but it's slightly slimmer in the leg than in past seasons, making it a more flattering cut for expectant moms.

Color-blocking and graphic prints are two key trends sticking around this season. Try a black-and-white sheath – it instantly slims your figure.
