What to Expect When (Kate Is) Expecting

Since the 3rd of December this year and the announcement of the royal pregnancy it seems the whole of the UK has gone baby crazy! Kate is a known style icon and always gets it right in every scenario. Since her pregnancy, her eye for classic, chic fashion has not decreased, if anything, she is a beacon of maternity elegance for any mother to be looking for ways to keep on top of fashion during pregnancy.
Here are a few fashion highlights from the royal maternity so far and how you can emulate the look in your own life:

• The wrap-around knitwear

If you want to stay on trend the best rule of thumb in the world of maternity and normal fashion is to simply keep to the seasons. If you can find a beautiful piece of knitwear in this season’s colours you are golden. And just like Kate you can dress it up with skinny jeans and knee-high boots.

• Formalwear

Kate made an absolute splash at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award ceremony in a demure Bell-Sleeve Floor Length Gown from British fashion house Alexander McQueen. The dress is available on their website but is hitting a fairly lofty price. If you are looking for something similarly classic for any special occasion this season, check out the stunning maternity wear selection from Tiffany Rose.

• Outerwear 

Kate has been spotted in some stunning over coats since her news was broadcast earlier in the month. Once of the best and most timeless items is of course the mac. You don’t have to turn to your nearest Burberry store in true Duchess fashion, though you could simply hit the high street where many stores do a simple double breasted mac in many colours. Go for an empire line for comfort during pregnancy.
