FAQs

How to style maternity t-shirts for a put together look?

Maternity t-shirts are a versatile and comfortable option for any mama to be. To achieve a polished and put-together look for work then pair your t-shirt with a blazer, black leggings, and either brogues or slip-on mules. This combination is both comfortable and stylish, making it perfect for a long day at the office. If you’re going for a more casual look, throw on a high-quality cotton poplin shirt over your t-shirt to add some texture and depth to your outfit. This combination is effortlessly chic and will keep you looking and feeling great all day long.

What is the best fabric for maternity tees?

When it comes to choosing the best fabric for maternity tees, there are several options to consider, including cotton, bamboo, and modal. These fabrics are known for being breathable, comfortable, and not itchy, which are all important factors to consider during pregnancy. Cotton is a popular choice as it is soft, breathable, and easy to care for. Bamboo is another great option as it is eco-friendly, naturally moisture-wicking, and has a luxurious feel. Modal is a type of rayon that is made from beech tree fibers and is known for being incredibly soft and silky to the touch. Ultimately, the best fabric for maternity tees will depend on personal preference and individual needs.

Can I wear maternity t-shirts when not pregnant?

Maternity t-shirts are designed to accommodate a growing belly and provide extra room for comfort during pregnancy. While it is possible to wear maternity t-shirts when not pregnant, you may find that they don’t fit or sit as well due to the ruching designed to accommodate a pregnant belly. The extra fabric around the midsection may result in a loose or baggy fit, which may not be the most flattering look. However, if you prefer the style or comfort of maternity t-shirts, there’s no reason why you can’t wear them regardless of whether or not you are pregnant
