It's something you will have done on multiple occasions - probably after a big meal or at regular intervals over Christmas - but which you never would have publicly admitted to. I'm talking about unbuttoning your jeans to allow a little bit of wiggle room. If this sounds like a familiar story from the last time you went out with friends, we're here to tell that your signature move just got the seal of approval from Rihanna. And EmRata. That's right. Letting it all hang out - almost! - is officially cool.
Rihanna stepped out yesterday wearing a typically cool combo of a white tank top, turn-up jeans with the buttons left open, Timberland boots and a baseball cap. And while her maternity wardrobe has thus far refused to be categorised as such - instead staying firmly in her glam (AF) lane - this is one trick that fellow mothers-to-be might find relatable. Instead of relegating your jeans to the back of your wardrobe as you move through the trimesters, why not give them legs for a little longer by simply unbuttoning or unzipping? It'll save you money on maternity jeans, plus it looks, well, cool.
EmRata also relied on the same styling hack for a stroll a few days ago, except her jeans actually come with a pre-rolled waistband so that it's even easier to slip them on and slip out the door. Genius, no? The question, 'Are we getting desert?' now only has one answer.
