Maternity Layering Tips: How to Dress for Changing Weather

Spring and fall bring unpredictable weather — chilly mornings, warm afternoons, and sudden rain. During pregnancy, dressing in layers is key to staying comfortable, stylish, and cozy, no matter what the day brings. Here’s your guide to maternity layering tips that work with your bump and your lifestyle.

The 3-Layer Rule for Moms-to-Be

Layering helps you adjust to temperature changes without sacrificing comfort. A simple three-layer system works perfectly for maternity outfits:

1. Base Layer: Soft tank or tee

   • Choose breathable fabrics like cotton or bamboo

   • Fits comfortably under your bump without restriction

2. Middle Layer: Cardigan or lightweight sweater

   • Adds warmth without bulk

   • Can be worn open or belted for a flattering silhouette

3. Outer Layer: Coat, trench, or jacket

   • Protects against wind and rain

   • Neutral tones like beige, gray, or camel make mixing and matching effortless

✨ Pro Tip: Choose stretchy fabrics that move with your bump for every layer.

Maternity Layering Style Tips
