When to buy maternity tops?

Truthfully, there is no specific time to begin shopping for maternity tops during your pregnancy. If you ask other pregnant women when they started shopping for their maternity wardrobe, the responses you receive will likely vary. While some women like to be extra organised and shop for their maternity tops as early as possible, other women prefer to wait until they start showing. An upside to waiting it out is you will be able to shop accurately for your size and not have to guess.

Some signs that it's time to begin browsing for maternity tops include:

• Your fitted tops feel uncomfortably tight against your baby bump
• You can't button your shirts all the way down
• Your baby bump pops out the bottom of your top to say hello.

A good time to invest in baby clothes is when you begin your second trimester. This is when your baby bump begins to become noticeable and take shape.

How to style maternity tops?

One of the great things about maternity tops is that they can be worn in a number of ways. There are so many different styles of maternity tops out there, so you can easily style them up or down depending on the occasion. Soon Maternity stocks a wide edit of tops in varying styles, so you're set for any event. Whether it's running errands, getting brunch with the girls or going out on a date night with your partner, Soon Maternity crafts stylish, elegant maternity tops to suit your aesthetic.

When going about your day, throw on the Sophia Wrap Feeding Top or Classic Cotton Maternity T-Shirt with your favourite casual pants for an effortless outfit. You can jump from day to night with the Kyra Zip Feeding Tunic, swapping out your work skirt for some trousers and a blazer or coat. For a billowing, breezy look, pair the Luna 3/4 Sleeve Shirt with your favourite wide-leg pants.

Why is it important to wear maternity tops?

As your belly grows during pregnancy, you’ll find your normal wardrobe struggling to fit like it used to. Wearing a maternity top with side ruching such as the Classic Cotton Maternity Tank can help to support your growing belly by allowing it room to grow without feeling tight or uncomfortable. 

Many maternity tops are made from breathable fabrics like the Hani Flare Top. This top will help you to stay cool and comfortable even in the hottest weather.

Additionally, if you plan on nursing your baby after birth, it’s important to start thinking about nursing tops during pregnancy. Many nursing tops are designed to be worn beyond pregnancy as well, so you can get a head start on finding the perfect one for you. Nursing tops provide easy access – discreet openings, side ruching to accommodate your baby bump, while also being comfortable and stylish.

What size guide should I consider before buying maternity tops Australia?

Soon Maternity sizes are equivalent to traditional Australian sizing, so you don’t need to stress about different size charts and guides. For example, a woman who is a size Small in her regular wardrobe will then buy a Small in maternity clothes. However, we recommend to always take your measurements before purchasing so you can have comfortable maternity clothes that truly fit and feel. If you’re expecting twins or sit between sizes, we recommend sizing up.

If you're pregnant and looking for comfortable, stylish and flattering maternity tops, Soon Maternity is a great option. With a wide range of styles to choose from, you're sure to find the perfect top for any occasion. Be sure to check the size guide before purchasing to ensure the best fit. 

At Soon Maternity, we pride ourselves in designing flattering and elegant maternity wear to help you look and feel your best during your pregnancy. Browse the collection of maternity tops online, or visit our store in South Yarra today!
