Wardrobe Change Tips To Dress Smart-Post Delivery
No wonder you need a wardrobe change, and your husband will surely get the clues and you two might just plan for shopping. However, we suggest that you do not go overboard and follow these simple steps to ensure that you have a mix of old and new:
1. Try everything you have in your closet
2. Categorize them into:
- Clothes which do not like and are not going to wear at all (as the trend has changed, outdated or due to any reason)
- Outfits that might fit after six months – since you are on a weight loss regime
- The ones which can be worn now – something that is from your maternity shopping
- Also, those which can be worn after some alteration.
3. Once you do this, place all other clothes in some other closet, so that your wardrobe can fit some new outfits. Cluttering will only make it look bad and unorganized.
4. Also if some top or kurta does not fit you but the bottom is still wearable, mix and match it with some other top. Similarly, skirts can also be worn with some other tops. Your next job is to shop!
Shopping Tips To Dress Smart-Post Delivery
“Dress smart-post delivery” likely refers to how to dress appropriately and comfortably after giving birth or undergoing a delivery, particularly in the context of postpartum recovery. Here are some shopping tips on dressing smartly and comfortably during the postpartum period:
- If you breastfeed your baby, keep this fact in mind while choosing clothes.
- A comfortable nursing bra and nice underwear are a necessity.
- Add one more nursing bra one size larger than your current size as breast size increases when you breastfeed, in many cases.
- A nursing tank top in good colors is a great option.
- Add some bottoms with elastic and stretch.
- Prefer Kurtis that are easily fitted and made to be worn oversized.
- If you prefer wearing denim that’s fine, choose a cotton button-down (it will be easier to feed your baby). Adjustable pants work best for all shapes.
- Cotton dresses make you feel relaxed and look nice to wear.
- Do not add dull colors to your wardrobe. Bright colors keep our mood good.
- Put on some jackets and shrugs that cover your midriff and you are all set. Stretchable jeggings and loose tops also make for smart dresses. Accessorize right, pull out the scarves and that jewelry box, and make people focus on them!
- Go Black – black just works wonders, as we all know. Try monochrome effects – also blues, chocolates, and navy are what you should pick
- Frills is a no-no – no ruffles, pleats, flat pockets, cargos or anything that gives unwanted dimensions to your out. Go seam, clean and classic fits.
- Get ready to chase your toddler with comfortable pair of shoes or flats by buying comfortable footwear.
With these tips, the post-baby fat will no longer be the hurdle to a smart and chic you. These tricks will make you feel confident, and take on the world.
