7 Effortless Maternity Looks I'm Stealing From Fashionable French Girls
I’m at that stage of pregnancy where I could really do with some fresh inspiration in the sartorial department. Now that I’m halfway through (and no longer look like I’ve simply had a large lunch), I’m seeking some easy styling solutions and outfits that A) don’t just consist of oversize T-shirts, B) are comfortable but not sloppy, and C) still make me feel like myself.
As you know, we love French-girl style over here at Who What Wear, so I decided to turn to some of our stylish French muses to see how they do maternity style and steal some of their maternity looks for myself.
One of the biggest things I’ve noticed is that French women settle into a style that is generally reminiscent of their pre-pregnancy aesthetic—not sacrificing their innate elegance and allure for the big bump. For the most part, they swap their beloved vintage jeans for stretchy knit dresses (and yes, leggings!) that embrace their bump and emphasize their silhouette rather than hide it beneath oversize clothes—wearing what makes them feel beautiful and comfortable while embracing the magic of an expanding body.
Below, I’m sharing a few French-girl maternity outfits that are inspiring me right now to get out of my oversize tees and into that effortlessly chicFrench aesthetic.
Jeanne Damas is the queen of mastering chic pregnancy style. One scroll through her Instagram, and you can see she favored stretchy dresses throughout her pregnancy, styling them with her go-to chic accessories and jackets. A stretchy crochet dress is a great option styled with chic boots and a trench or in the warmer months with stylish summer sandals.French girls love knit dresses, so it's a natural choice when pregnant. A body-hugging and stretchy white ribbed knit dress is timeless and chic.I love the idea of stretchy plissé pants (in lieu of jeans)—super chic when paired with a black formfitting stretchy ribbed top.Layering is a great option when it's not quite hot and not quite cold. I love the simple yet striking look of this oversize button-down-and-sweater-vest combo. It also looks seriously comfy. As always, a smattering of chic accessories pulls the look together and adds instant polish.While we don't ordinarily see French girls sporting leggings very often, many admit to opting for a nice-quality pair during pregnancy to style with boots and sweaters, as seen on this look here. Chic boots are definitely a French-girl favorite to give their pregnancy style a little allure.I've seen this trick done by a few French girls on Instagram now, and it makes a loose-knit sweater or button-down look so pulled-together. Simply add a thin belt at the top of your baby bump over your shirt, and finish the look with chic accessories. Take a peek at another chic belt outfit here.There's a general sentiment that most French women don't care much for maternity jeans. A denim dress styled with boots, however, is a much more desired option.
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
