Soon to be a mama of three, Lisa Lalvani is known for her uber-chic maternity style. From the beginning of her maternal journey, she has been dressing her bump. While many mamas-to-be keep it simple with oversized dresses and joggers, Lisa prefers accentuating her curves in form-fitted clothing. Having said that, she doesn’t compromise on comfort while making these sartorial choices. Proving (now three times over) that you can look good and be cosy, even while creating another human life.
On her birthday, let’s take a leaflet out of Lisa’s pregnancy stylebook and get inspired by some of her best sartorial looks.
1. Ribbed Knitted Dress

Bodycon dresses are often considered to be uncomfortable and too-fitted because of their structure, but what if you opt for one in a rib-knit fabric, just like Lisa did. Pick a form-flattering dress in this material and make sure it’s midi length, as it will accommodate your movement.
2. Shirt Dress

Shirt dresses may seem like all business, but when the cut is more frock-like, you can take it out on a spin for brunch, as well as nap in it. Lisa styled her crisp white shirt dress with nothing but a pair of tiny silver hoops and low-bun, keep it fuss-free yet chic.
3. Little Black Tent Dress

Lisa made this tent dress her go-to pregnancy silhouette, and you should too. It’s anti-fit, short and spacious, but hangs right on your frame above the torso and falls elegantly below. You can go with minimal or no accessory according to the occasion and work this little black look.
4. Bumpsuit And Jacket

Bumpsuits are the belly friendly counterpart of our contemporary favourite jumpsuits. Trust Lisa to coin new trends instead of following them. Perfect for an errand day, layer it with a contrasting coloured jack and pair it up with your kicks or platform boots and you’re good to go.
5. Baby-Proof Bathingsuit

Continuing the streak of her badassery, Lisa surfed with a tiny bump (of course, after medical consultation). If you love hitting the beach or a pool and a bikini isn’t the most comforting option while you’re pregnant, go for a full-coverage bathing suit. Not only does it still look sexy, but it’s also functional and does the job.
6. Big Baggy Jeans

You don’t have to bid your denim adieu until post-partum; you have to find the one that works around your bump. Going by Lisa’s maternity style, she went with the snuggliest pair of mom jeans that were stretchy on the waist and spacious from the hips to the legs.
