Being a parent means changing and rearranging your priorities: your children come first. This is perfectly natural but over time, mothers should try to focus on themselves a bit more. After you give birth, your body changes drastically, and it takes time for you to get back into your pre-pregnancy shape. New moms might be afraid to experiment with clothes, but it doesn’t have to be the way. We bring you a list of fantastic pieces you should have in your wardrobe which will make you look elegant and stylish at all times. 


Flattering Jeans

Even though a great number of new moms love wearing their leggings, a pair of great fitting jeans is a must have for everyone. Women who recently gave birth will soon discover that their old maternity jeans work just fine because it takes time for our tummies to go back to their old shape. A great thing about jeans is that they’re appropriate for practically any occasion as you can easily dress them up or down. Dark jeans (navy or black denim) are usually the safest choice for new moms as these have a slimming effect and they also happen to be the most versatile ones. 


Spaghetti Strap Tops 


New moms who choose to breastfeed their children will find themselves wondering what to wear that will give them easier access to the ‘milk supply’. For ladies who are in the process or weaning but also for those who are nursing and pumping, spaghetti straps are the best choice. You can easily 
pair them with button down shirts if you’re going out and aim for a bit more formal look or you can choose to wear spaghetti strap maxi dresses. There are also wonderful nursing tank tops that come with built-in support which allows you to nurse your baby without worrying about bras. 


Flowy Dresses

During warmer months, you will be grateful for the freedom of light, flowy dresses, and you’ll likely love wearing them all the time. You can easily buy women’s dresses online and enjoy the freedom of movement they offer. There are also caftan dresses that you can easily unbutton and nurse your baby if need be, and the best thing is that they look great on pregnant women as well as on new moms. Pro tip: buy patterned dresses as patterns mask any accidental stains that so many new mommies have.


Drapey Tunics 


Leggings and maternity skinny jeans are pieces that most new moms like wearing, and they go exceptionally well with tunic tops. Seeing as tummies are generally seen as problem areas after childbirth, flowy tunics that reach your mid-thigh are the best choice. The combination of form-fitting bottoms and drapey tunics will be flattering for your figure and you’ll feel more confident. This outfit will look great with a pair of strappy sandals as well as with a pair of knee-high boots. 


Sweaters and Cardigans

The oversized sweater trend is still strong, much to the joy of new moms who can’t get enough of clothes that are at the same time comfortable, flattering and easy to wear. Over the past few seasons, we have seen the rise of the boyfriend sweater trend but nothing will ever be as popular as traditional cardigans. Not only are cardigans comfortable, but they keep us warm and allow us to wear any of our favorite pieces underneath: tank tops, oversized tees or button-down blouses. 


Scarves 


New moms know that they no longer have the luxury of taking a long time to get ready. This is why scarves and shawls are so precious to them – putting them on requires minimal effort and yet, you look infinitely more put-together after you put it on. Not to mention the fact that nursing pads are a thing, whether you decide to nurse for years or stop after a few weeks. As useful as they are, they usually end up looking lumpy and uneven and make you self-conscious. Long scarves are a stylish and convenient way to cover up all those the peaks and valleys.


Being a new mom means you will likely think about everyone else’s needs before you actually focus on your own. You will probably forget about fashion fads for a while, but it doesn’t mean that you have to look like a hermit. With these wardrobe essentials, you will be ready to take on the world and you’ll look stylish and elegant at all times. Mom-friendly clothes don’t have to be boring, and if you’re brave enough, you can experiment and come up with a unique style that will make you look and feel good about yourself.
