What to Wear to Holiday Parties When Pregnant
As we close in on the final days of the decade, your calendar is likely filled with holiday parties, dinners with family, and gift exchanges. Although staying home where it's warm & cozy with your baby bump is enticing, the invites start to pour in, and the question remains the same: what are you going to wear? Holiday parties and New Year’s Eve spark images of glitzy, glamorous outfits but how do you tackle the Christmas party dress code in style, while pregnant? We’ve rounded up a few polished maternity outfits to inspire the festive occasion.
Whether you're heading somewhere fancy or for a more low-key occasion, find your party inspo below.
For Holiday Parties
Opt for a festive red with the Arlette 3/4 Sleeve Maternity & Nursing Wrap Dress, a comfortable and flattering fit. Our signature wrap dress is a customer favourite as it highlights your natural waist before flowing into a full skirt. It’s a dress you can really move in, so you can feel free to hit the dancefloor with confidence.
The Pointelle Knit Black Maternity Dress by Ripe Maternity is the ultimate LBD this holiday season, and it hugs in all the right places. Warning: this dress may cause you to exude confidence.
Separates are a great way to feel put together yet comfortable, especially in the cold Canadian weather. Pair the Melanie Burgundy Maternity & Nursing Top by Seraphine with J Brand’s Velveteen Maternity Jean and a pretty flat for an upscale casual look.
For a Gift Exchange with Friends
Forget the ugly Christmas sweater, stand out at your gift exchange this year in a bold and oh-so-soft pullover with sparkle detail in the cuff, like the Spot of Teal Berto Sweater by John & Jenn. Finish off the ensemble with rich midnight maternity denim, like this one, by J Brand Jeans.
A maternity jumpsuit is a nice comfortable change from all the body-con dresses - and is a timeless option that you can dress up or down. Switch out the Preston Maternity Jumpsuits' fabric belt for leather or a glitzy one to take this one-piece to the next level.
For Dinner With the In-Laws
The holidays are a chance for us to connect with family, and finding the balance of comfort & style is key, especially in pregnancy. The Harper Funnel Neck Grey Maternity Dress is designed in-house & has been a staff favorite this season with its cozy feel and chic look.
Make a good impression with the family-friendly Larsa Pink Funnel Neck Sweater by John & Jenn and the tailored Connor Black Maternity Dress Pant, keeping it cool with booties and your favourite fine gold jewelry.
For Taking You into the New Year
NYE is the time to go all out with glamour. The Galina Lace Maternity & Nursing Dress has it all: lace, georgette and an elegant neckline tie. An option that is sure to have your friends, expecting or not, asking where you got it.
The Amelia Velvet Burnout Maternity Dress by Carry is the perfect balance of sexy and sophisticated, made with rich velvet fabric for a classic New Years' look.
The Claire Off The Shoulder Maternity Dress by Soon Maternity is a red bodycon number that will be sure to have heads turning the moment you walk in the door. Start the year off with a bang.
