We’ve handpicked five key pieces to create the perfect capsule wardrobe for a summer pregnancy. Chic, comfortable and lightweight – all the hallmarks of an exceptionally stylish 40 weeks. The jeans (£140 from Push)All the A-list denim brands now have maternity collections but our all-time favourite has to be 7 For All Mankind. You get the legendary butt-lifting and thigh-slimming properties but with a comfortable below-the-bump waist. Head to hip Islington maternity boutique Push for the best selection. The smock (£14 from New Look)New Look’s maternity collection has some excellent pieces like this pretty cotton smock blouse with sequin embellishment. Just the ticket with jeans or linen trousers. The dress (£120 from Isabella Oliver) Signature ruching and wrapping make Isabella Oliver’s designs très chic indeed. The new collection Duo features six key pieces in soft jersey fabric which can be reversed for a different colourway. Genius! We’re loving this sleeveless wrap dress which comes in black/white or cranberry/sand (£120). Go glam with heels or kick back in jeans and AllStars. The cover-up (£49 from Crave)This lovely aqua knit is great for layering over blouses, tees, vests and dresses and the lightweight fabric will even forgive being rolled up in your bag. A wardrobe workhorse no less. The contour top (£40 from Homebody)Side ruche detail, plunge neckline and cap sleeves give this top a sexy and flattering fit. Wear with low-key cargos or a slimline pencil skirt and it will showcase your bump beautifully.
