Tips for styling and wearing maxi dresses

What to wear under a maxi dress?

During pregnancy your thighs might rub together. Maybe you’re retaining water or you’ve put on some weight, whatever the reason it’s important to stay comfortable. You can wear bike shorts, support wear or thigh savers.

What shoes should I wear with a maxi dress?

The beauty of maxi dresses is they suit flats and heels. You can even wear white sneakers with just about any dress. We’d avoid heavy boots or sneakers with maxi dresses, as this can look bottom heavy. We’d also recommend avoiding very high heels while pregnant.

Extra style tips for maxi dresses

Maxi dresses are so easy to style! Opt for an oversize blazer, long line cardigan, wool coat and ankle boots, or slides and button up shirt.
