    News flash: Maternity wardrobes are not what you thought.

    By Amy Lewis

    Once upon a time, maternity wardrobes involved tent-like dresses, lots of elastic waistbands and inevitably, little style kudos. But if you’re a Fashion Girl in 2018, you can forget having to sacrifice good style during your pregnancy.

    Thanks to a slew of the internet’s top fashion bloggers, Instagrammers and street style stars, pregnancy style has transformed forever; and this revolution has been more than televised.

    From Man Repeller’s Leandra Medine Cohen and Instagram’s Eva Chen, to Pandora Sykes, The Blonde Salad’s Chiara Ferragni and The Frugality’s Alex Stedman, fashion’s key players have all styled their way through pregnancy of late. The results, as you can imagine, are impeccable.
