Fashion designer Archana Kochhar gives pregnant women tips on looking sizzlingly stylish…

1. Just because you’re pregnant, you don’t have to wear dull, loose frocks. Maternity wear has come a long way and is now chic and fashionable. So go out there and get shopping.

2. For chic daywear, choose a happier colour in organic cotton or a hand-woven loose silhouette like a short dress, kurtas, pinafore, etc.

3. Fabrics like mul and even soft silk work best along with lace tunics; try them!

4. A soft crisp white poncho works great for summer outings. You can wear them with tights and a nice pair of flats to keep your feet comfortable.

5. Put together a collection of assorted and sleek baubles. Accessories make a lot of difference; add a contrasting bag or interesting neckpiece and add character to your look.

6. For more traditional festivities nothing beats than the classic Anarkali, whether to flaunt the baby bump or to conceal the tummy, this silhouette works best for all the months.

7. If you’re getting your clothes tailored, go for interesting box pleat panels or the drape style.

8. For special occasion, flaunt that bundle of joy by wearing a loose draped gown in fitted Lycra. One can invest in a gown which one can sport post and pre-expecting period.

9. For inspiration, check out photos of your favourite star when they were pregnant. You don’t have to get high-end brands but actors like Angelina Jolie, Kajol and closer home, even Lara Dutta, can help you put your maternity wear together.

10. Remember you can look hot and glamorous even when you’re pregnant. So, dress for the red carpet each time you go out
