Oversized sweaters and cardigans are this winter's trend - pregnancy chic included.  So I thought it would be fun to give you a few ideas on how to wear an oversized sweater while pregnant, without making it look like you are carrying more baby than you actually are!

First, inspiration....


Jenna Dewan-Tatum looks amazing in maternity stripes with black leggings:

And whilst not strictly a sweater or cardigan, Petra Ecclestone shows us how to cover our bump with a stretchy jersey top:



Next, some do's and do not's....


  • do think of your silhouette - oversized on top, slim on bottom.  Try skinny jeans, leggings or a pencil skirt. 
  • avoid anything baggy on the bottom - combined with an oversized sweater - you will look HUGE!
  • do try cinching in an oversized sweater with a skinny belt
  • do add a scarf - just avoid adding too much bulk by wearing a sheer scarf
