Kate Middleton's baby bump has finally arrived. According to the Huffington Post, the duchess stepped out in style during a recent shopping trip. What did she wear? A flattering wrap dress by MaxMara.
In her second trimester now, Middleton looks fantastic. While a growing baby bump is hard to dress, Middleton has mastered the art of looking stylish while pregnant. She proves that maternity style can be fashionable too, paving the way for all expecting moms.
Besides a wrap dress, are there other flattering maternity style to dress a baby bump? Find out below.
1. Kaftan Dresses
Kaftan dresses are defined by their bat sleeves and over-sized shape. They come in various lengths and necklines, and can be either dressy or casual. Also, they can be worn as tops or by themselves.
Kaftan dresses make a wonderful choice for maternity style because of their shapelessness. A lack of shape, in a stylish dress, works well with big bellies. Also, the unique bat sleeves are so bold that they take attention away from a protruding middle.
2. Long Tanks Over Jeggings
The reason why long tops make flattering maternity style is because they go over the belly, instead of popping up. You always want maximum coverage when dressing a bump.
But why jeggings? When your top takes over most of the outfit, you want to balance it out by slenderizing the bottom. Jeggings, or denim leggings, look extremely slenderizing. Plus, denim is casual, and looks better with tank tops.
3. Long Tunics Over Leggings
Just like long tanks, long tunics provide excellent coverage. However, they are looser and look more dressed up -- such is why they work better with dressy leggings (instead of casual jeggings).

4. Maxi Dresses
A new dress trend increasing in popularity is the maxi dress. Long, lean and sleek, maxi dresses are perfect for summer time. What makes them great maternity style are their length -- the longer the length, the leaner you appear -- and have a comfortable, loosely-fitted waist line.
5. Baby Doll Dresses
Speaking of loose waist lines, baby doll dresses have them. Their waist lines also sits high -- known as empire waist -- and cater to a growing bump.
Pregnancy is an uncomfortable and physically stressful time, but looking your best helps take stress away. Hope these style ideas helped you out. Just remember, if Kate Middleton's baby bump looks stylish, so can yours.
