Maternity fashion basics to add to your wardrobe

What pregnancy fashion basics should you buy to get you through the next nine months?
Sure, it is fun to splurge on that trendy top you have had your eye on, but you also need a few maternity basics in your wardrobe. Here are some maternity clothes basics to stock up on:
Tops: Depending on the weather if your area, stock up on solid color tops that fit you well. Make sure the tops are long enough to keep you covered throughout your pregnancy. Details like side shirring and a flattering neckline, like scoopneck or v-neck, are both bonus features to consider. Pictured is pregnant actress Alyson Hannigan pairing her basic long-sleeve tee with jeans and a cute vest.
Bottoms: I consider a comfortable and well-fitting pair of jeans a maternity fashion essential. Whether you buy them at a designer boutique or at Old Navy, make sure they flatter your curves and contain a bit of stretch. If you are a working mom-to-be, consider buying a basic maternity work pants in black and gray.
Dresses: A stylish black dress is perfect for the workplace, date night or any other occasion that pops up the next nine months. Dress it up with accessories and strappy heels or dress it down with flats.
