Shopping can be somewhat overwhelming. There's so much choice at the best of times, so if you're a new mum who has chosen to breastfeed and is therefore looking for functional fashion choices, it can be a bit of a nightmare. Of course, with a new baby to consider, you don't exactly have spare time to spend scrolling through websites trying to find stylish clothes which will allow you to breastfeed easily. No wonder, then, that one of the questions Grazia's editors are asked most often is where to find tops, dresses and jumpers that are functional but which also look good.
To help, we’ve scoured high and low for brilliant dresses, tops and knitwear that are practical and chic. From printed midis that would look great with your go-to maternity tights and boots to shirt dresses which can look smart or dressed down, there are options out there which will make you feel great but which will also make your life a lot easier.
