Elli writes… It’s easy to spot someone who shops at All Saints by the loose, layered styles and muted tones. When pregnant, it occurred to me that the roominess of some of the clothes make them a good option for mamas-to-be with the added bonus that you don’t have to pack them into storage when baby arrives.
So I thought it was worth browsing All Saints’ new arrivals for some bump-friendly picks.
This Balance Vest (above left) in oatmeal is a good example – the longer fit means no uncomfortable waist band straining at the bump and it’s a nice contemporary shape. Pair it with jeans and a white tshirt underneath – or not, if you’re feeling extremely brave! £80.
For a bump-skimming evening look, I like this jet black Alvianna Braces Vest (above) with unusual belted leather shoulder straps. (Although underwear might prove an issue, unless you layered it.) £75.
Cardigans are a girl’s best friend when pregnant and the Aurelia Cardigan (above) livens things up with long ribbed sleeves and a pussy bow tie at the front. Plenty of room for growth. £80.
On a similar theme, I like the Alandra Waistcoat (right) which, being sleeveless, would work well in the spring. The higher price tag of £140 is explained by the fact that it is 100% cashmere. Sizes 6-14, available in grey marl or doe marl.
Everything is available in sizes 6 to 14 direct from the All Saints website with free UK shipping.
