The excitement of expecting a baby is hard to top, and the emotions you feel trying to find maternity clothes that flatter your new figure no doubt fall somewhat short.

Fear not! You can look your best and feel great at every stage of your pregnancy regardless of your body size and type. The following fashion secrets can help you build a wardrobe and personal style that compliment your body type and accentuate the features that make you special. Try these simple tips to make you feel more confident and beautiful than ever before:

Perfectly Petite:

• Choose form-fitting styles to accentuate your delicate frame.



• Wear tops and bottoms of the same color to lengthen the appearance of your body.



• Consider high-neck tops, a scarf, or a choker to add a splash of color around your face and draw the eyes up.

Elegantly Tall:

• Break up the length of your body with knee-length skirts or a long jacket.



• Experiment with colors and horizontal patterns.

Perfectly Petite:

• Dark colors create a slimming silhouette, so choose clothing in classic hues such as black, brown, navy, wine, forest green, and dark gray.



• Try your partner's comfortable, oversized Oxford shirts to minimize the appearance of your hips. Make it more feminine by rolling up the sleeves, wearing it unbuttoned over a form-fitting tee or tank, or dressing it up with a delicate necklace.



• Avoid horizontal stripes which can make you look wider than you really are.
