Navigating your body and dressing during postpartum is something that every new mom finds daunting. Your body has changed and you don’t need any pressure to fit back into your pre pregnancy clothes.
You also don’t have to live in your PJS for months! Nurturing your body and how you feel is so important, so embracing and wearing outfits that make you feel good and are still stylish is so important.
If you’re looking for some stylish inspo for postpartum that don’t look or feel frumpy, I’ve rounded up 21 gorgeous ideas for new moms!
21 Postpartum Outfit Ideas That Are Cozy & Stylish!
1.Throw On An Oversized Shirt
Never underestimate the power of a good oversized shirt! It’s the perfect throw on for those in between weather days, and it will break up a trousers and tee combo, elongating your body.
The last thing you need are tight clothes on a healing body, and oversized doesn’t have to mean baggy or frumpy.
2. Matching Co-ord
When is a co-ord not a good idea? Eliminate that fatigue in the morning when choosing an outfit, a co-ord is a fail safe look that always looks super stylish, no matter what you pair it with.
Be it a matching trouser and shirt combo or a shorts and tee combo for the summer, I’m sold!
3. Legging & Jumper Combo
Leggings are another staple item in a postpartum wardrobe, they’re hugging in a good way and can be dressed up or down depending on your day, plus, hello stretchy waistband!
Top with an oversized jumper and a jacket if it’s a little chilly for a super cool and casual look.
4. Bump Suit
Bump wear even after postpartum is super popular for helping to keep your stomach well supported. Top with a co-ord or your favourite stylish tracksuit set for a laidback look that can be worn at home or out and about.
5. Wide Leg Jeans
Wide leg jeans are still reigning supreme this year and I’m so happy about it!
They’re a hugely flattering type of jeans for all body shapes. Team with a cosy jumper and coat like Laura below for a fun look, postpartum.
6. Lean Into Those Nude Tones
Try not to immediately reach for black when you’re dressing, classic nude tones are uplifting and super easy to style.
How good does Olivia look in this long sleeve top and baggy trousers combo? Add a slick back bun for an easy mom on the go look.
7. Break it Up With A Sleeveless Jumper
This is one of my all time fave postpartum looks and it’s so perfectly styled to help you feel confident in your body.
The exposed white sleeves feel stylish and pulled together, whilst the sleeveless jumper skims your tummy and breaks up the single tone of colour. Finish with skinny jeans and knee high boots for a stylish get up.
8. Elevate With Heels
Small kitten heels will add instant glamour to your outfit. It can feel hard navigating emotions and how you feel when in postpartum, but pair with a classic shirt and your favorite lippy and it will make the world of difference to how you feel.
9. Add A Long Trench
Break up an outfit with a long trench coat, this outfit is ideal for Spring and Autumn. It elongates your body naturally and is the easiest thing to throw on when you’re heading out of the house.
10. High Waisted Shorts
Some find that high waisted shorts accentuate the tummy more than low rise shorts, but pair with a black vest or tee to see how it feels. If you feel good and confident with it, it’s an easy casual outfit idea that looks great.
11. Cute & Casual
I adore how simple yet stylish this casual outfit is. Team your favorite slouchy trousers with a jumper, gently tucking in one side to give your outfit more structure.
12. Simple Tee & Elasticated Trousers
Postpartum outfits don’t need to be over engineered, the simple ones are often the best! A class white tee is another postpartum staple to add to your wardrobe. Team with elasticated trousers for utter comfort.
13. Add Definition With Black
Black in small doses can define an outfit and give beautiful contrast, especially true with the outfit idea below!
Wear whites and light tones underneath to create a beautiful balance against black, also another example of how great and flattering long trench coats can be.
14. Work That Body!
Just because you’re postpartum, you don’t have to hide your body! Do what is comfortable for you and be proud of what your body has been able to do.
A cropped vest top adds a flirty look with an off the shoulder shirt, you got this!
15. Midi Skirt Styling
How great does this lady look?!
Elevate your look in the evening by investing in a gorgeous midi skirt and a satin blouse. It feels classy and looks amazing with a clutch and heels to elevate your look.
16. Add Softness With A Relaxed Blazer
A relaxed blazer is another staple that will make any outfit feel elevated. It can be used for both casual and evening wear looks and will skim your body, adding length.
Take note of the below and match your shoes to your blazer color for a well put together look.
17. Cap & Denim Shirt
It’s giving cool mom!
Hair washing might seem like an impossible task some days with a newborn, so pop on a cap and forget about it! A denim oversized shirt works beautifully with this co-ord, but it would equally work well with a maxi dress.
18. Cozy Knitwear
Postpartum during winter is all about those cozy layers! This matching co-ord is super pretty and comfy, yet looks stylish too.
19. Floaty Co-ord
For pregnancy and beyond, a floaty co-ord like the below is just like wearing butter!
It’s easy to chuck on, lightweight and great for access if you’re breastfeeding too.
20. LBD!
If you’re going out out, check out this stunning LBD look! I couldn’t be more obsessed.
It’s amazing how a well fitted LBD can transform how you look and feel, try a few different styles until you find the one that makes you feel amazing.
21. Maxi Skirt & Cozy Jumper
Comfort and style can co-exist with this outfit idea. Elevate those legs with a maxi skirt and tuck in a cozy jumper for a casual outfit.
Add a belt if you feel comfortable doing so, it helps break up the monotony of the fabric and give a more polished look.
