    1 pair of jeans + 1 pair of stylish trousers

    Correct choice:

    Choose a high-waisted or low-waisted style with an adjustable elastic waistband that suits your figure. As for the cut, stick to a style that suits you: straight cuts (suits everyone), bootcuts make petite or slightly curvier women look taller, and "boyfriend" styles are suitable for slim figures and are ideal for pairing with tops or long tops. The only thing to avoid is tight-fitting styles, as they are too form-fitting.

    More stylish:

    Note the return of overalls—super cool—and the utterly glamorous jumpsuit. Opt for a V-neck style in a soft fabric for easy on and off.

    1 dress

    Correct choice:

    A simple and feminine dress. Soft fabric and a low neckline flatter the figure and can be adjusted according to the month. The length should not be too long (to make you look shorter), ideally above or at the knee; nor should it be too wide (to conceal the figure and make you look heavier). To avoid always looking like you're wearing the same dress, use accessories to vary your look: belts, shoes, hats, jewelry—anything goes!

    More stylish:

    Pairing with wedge shoes will flatter your figure without making you lose your balance.

    2 long tops

    Correct choice:

    Shoulders shouldn't be too broad, and the length shouldn't be too short (it should completely cover the abdomen). Choose a pretty and feminine style. Adding a necklace can elevate the look of jeans or a dress. Make sure it's machine washable and iron-free, as you'll be wearing it very often!

    More stylish:

    Now is a great time to buy floral or geometric prints, which are trending this season.

    1 cardigan

    Correct choice:

    A shawl-style cardigan is an essential item. Besides showcasing the neckline, it can be worn alone or layered with any top, and can be adjusted according to the month. This season, long cardigans are trending and can be worn open. Long, loose-fitting cardigans made of fine knit fabric have a beautiful drape and can flatter the figure when paired with fitted clothing.

    More stylish:

    Long sleeveless cardigan.

    1 cloak

    Correct choice:

    Choose a beautiful knitted version; it's truly comfortable clothing that can be used from the car to a summer evening party. It can also be used to swaddle your baby.

    More stylish:

    To highlight its fashionable bohemian style, pair it with well-fitting clothing and accessorize with a hat or long necklace.

    1 swimsuit

    Correct choice:

    Whether you swim year-round or plan a trip to a sunny destination, maternity swimwear and underwear are essential. As your bust size increases by one or two sizes, you'll need good support. For greater comfort and to conceal the brown line that appears around your belly, choose a one-piece or two-piece (high-waisted pants and a top) style that is adjustable.

    More stylish:

    Try blue, green, purple, and prints—these are the star colors of the season!

    1 belt

    Correct choice:

    A single knitted, adjustable, or leather strap should be rounded to adapt to the new body shape. Comfortable and secure, it can be tied below the abdomen for a more defined look or above to create a beautiful empire silhouette.

    More stylish:

    Choose basic colors of soft leather (beige, brown, navy blue, white, etc.) that can be paired with any outfit. Also: three to four basic tops (that can still be worn postpartum), stockings, leggings, a set of pajamas and a tank top, and don't forget underwear!
