Is Postpartum Fashion Stressing You Out? Your Guide To Styling Your Post Childbirth Body
Mommies, we've got your belly and back!
“Dressing for pregnancy was such a piece of cake, but dressing in postpartum, what the f–k do you do?” Said Rihanna in her brand new interview with British Vogue. Well, isn’t that true for all new mommies? While pregnancy comes with its own set of challenges, the post-birth body is a task to handle. The new celebrity mother confessed to being confused with what size to pick and finding everything either too small or too big. And while waiting to weigh down those extra pounds is a journey you are yet to take, you need something more than sweats and hoodies to fit that belly in. Every mother’s journey in postpartum is often described to be the most awkward time to accept their body and sartorially navigate their way forward.
And while some celebrity mothers like Rihanna and Alia Bhatt refused to burn their pocket on another set of anti-fit clothes, actress Sonam Kapoor was serving more fashion post-delivery. In both cases, the idea is to look for ways that will help save your money and look a tad stylish.
Silk Pyjamas That Go Beyond The Bed
Just like new mommy–Alia Bhatt, you might wanna trust a chic pair of silk pyjamas that are easy to nurse in and take a drive after your baby dozes off to sleep. Ensuring the fabric provides you comfort and no skin rashes, luxe silk pyjama sets in cute prints will make the job of dressing your postpartum belly easier.

Tier Dresses
For times that you leave your baby at home, for a silent, cosy night out with your significant other, a fancy-tier dress will help you dress for the special date. Perfect for AM to PM transition, tier dresses in checkered prints, comfortable cotton, and colours provide more room for your body in flux.

New Mommy Jeans
Not many mothers trust a pair of denim, post giving birth. From the fabric to the structured waistline, getting back to denim can almost be like a dream, until you reach your old shape. But thanks to some innovative brands and fashion houses, denim jeans with adjustable waist, extra support for your post-delivery belly and some legroom for easy movement, will turn to your rescue. In this case, you can trust a pair of stretchy mom, skinny jeans with a second skin appeal, or comfortable high-waist denim.

Coverups And Shrugs
Most mommies love to layer when it comes to wearing their nursing tops out. From grocery runs to a little get-together with friends, shrugs are the easiest replacement for a fitted jacket, that doesn’t let you stretch. In this case, shrugs and long coverups in breezy shades, and stretchable material will take the shape of your ever-changing body and make sure of your comfort.

The Intimate Talk
Lingerie of a specific type plays a pivotal role in caring for your body that has just given birth. While nursing bras remain a top priority for you and your newborn, undies help you through this period of healing. From maximum support for C-sections to disposable undies for heavy bleeders, undies with high waist-line that tuck in your tummy and midi briefs that offer a seamless finish, choosing an appropriate design is crucial for your belly and cesarean section scars.

Ponchos Or Kaftans
It’s not new that kaftans are the best invention that women could ever ask for. Be it pregnancy or not, kaftans are always a better pick than others. Ensuring your comfort, new moms can invest in anti-fit kaftans that will help them survive the postpartum and live long enough after that. From fringe details to regular cotton prints, ponchos and kaftans are a smart investment for new moms.

A Slinky Robe
Like kaftans, robes are versatile pieces of clothing that every mother can blindly trust. The front-open, knotted detail of this silhouette not only makes it a chic nursing dress but is easy on your healing belly. The anti-fit, loose finish gives you enough space to breathe in and feed your newborn, while even heading out.
