1. Slip-On Dress

Lightweight dresses crafted with breathable fabric is always a must, especially if you’re holidaying in the tropics. Opt for versatile styles that you can dress up or down and won't restrict your bump - the Positano is perfect for this.

Style Tip: Pack two slip on dresses - we love packing one midi and one mini to add some versatility to your holiday style.

2. Supportive Swimwear

Lounging poolside? You will definitely want some extra support especially if your breasts are starting to get bigger. Monday Swimwear has gorgeous and flattering designs and are made to cater for busty women! Many of their designs are supportive and fully adjustable too.

Style tip: One pieces are especially great for bigger bumps as they feel more supportive and hug you in all the right places.

Style your swim attire with a sarong or kimono to cover up after the beach. We love this one from Maison Essentiele.

3. Comfortable Footwear

Comfortable shoes are a must for any babymoon. Depending on your destination, you might need a mix of sandals, sneakers, and perhaps some dressier flats. Prioritise shoes with good arch support and cushioned insoles.

Style Tip: Avoid heels or any footwear that might be uncomfortable. Opt for wedges or block heels if you want a bit of height without sacrificing comfort.

4. Athleisure

Staying comfortable and cool is a priority for daytime activities. Pack a set of leggings or bike shorts and a lightweight cotton t-shirt, like our Box-Cut Mére Tees. Pair your sporty look with sneakers and a baseball cap.

Style Tip: Black leggings are always a no-brainer colour choice that flatters your body and goes with everything (literally everything).

If you are not a fan of 'maternity' leggings we suggest buying regular leggings with at least 8-10% elastane/spandex and sizing up. You'll be able to keep these leggings for post-partum and beyond.

5. Outerwear and Layers

Layering with a bump is always fun and helps add intrigue to any outfit, especially when dressing on top of a tighter-fitting bottom. Pack a plain white linen shirt, which goes with most items and is lightweight. A button-up cardigan is also great for cooler nights.
