Observers of
maternity wear trends have noted that style and fashion are now very much at the heart of options available to pregnant women.
In an article for the Financial Times, Alex Gorton points out that maternity clothing has been high on the agenda recently with a number of celebrities expecting babies or giving birth.
" Not so long ago pregnancy and looking fashionable were uneasy bedfellows, with the options for mothers-to-be limited to tent-like smocks and shapeless dresses... but it’ s clear times have changed.
" A combination of high-profile pregnancies... and the prominence of empire lines, kaftans and loose-fitting styles in mainline collections have sparked a notable evolution in the attitudes of both mums-to-be and of designers."
In addition to Samantha Cameron, another familiar name that recently spent some time in
maternity clothes was Denise Van Outen.
Before she and husband Lee Mead welcomed their first child, Betsy, the presenter/actress was consistent with her reliably stylish choices.
Among these were some Seraphine items, including an evening tube top and
maternity leggings.
