As Jennifer Garner shows here, you can indeed wear a corduroy skirt when you are expecting — you just need to know what to look for so you can look stylish and be comfortable.

Look for corduroy that has a touch of spandex to give it some stretch, like the Olian Corduroy Pencil Skirt from Zappos.com. After all, the last thing you need is a skirt that makes you waddle even more!

Depending on what you prefer, you can find a skirt with the type of panel (full panel, mid-panel or under-the-belly panel) that is most comfortable for you. Garner’s skirt features the under-the-belly panel.

You should also consider length. I have found that a skirt that is shorter than knee-height tends to leave an expecting mama feeling overexposed. The only exception to that rule is if you pair the skirt with leggings to give you some extra coverage. Corduroy has enough texture that pairing it with leggings is a bit much, so stick to buying a skirt that is at least knee-height.

Find out where you can get a long black skirt like Ashlee Simpson.
