When it comes to maternity dressing, it can be tough to know where to begin to find inspiration. Modern mums want to be able to wear clothes that are cool and comfortable, fashionable and functional, and traditional maternity clothes can often be a little... dated. The best, and most stylish, way to see yourself through pregnancy and beyond is to be true to own your current style, with a couple of adjustments to cater to yours (and babies) needs. We looked to expecting influencers to see just how they updated their wardrobe, and the best styles worth following.

Monikh's ultra chic and minimalist aesthetic nails the perfect pregnancy capsule wardrobe. Light kaftans, dresses and oversized shirts will keep you cool in Summer, and her fabric choices like linen, cotton, and fine knit, are guaranteed to feel as good as they look. Comfortable flats are also a must for Monikh (we found a Marks and Spencer dupe of her sandals from The Row), and we love her holiday style for Summer in the city. Follow Monikh for the coolest brands on Instagram, and a refined colour palette.
