<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wearing dark clothing has always been known to be a good way to make yourself look slimmer and to take a couple of pounds off and during pregnancy this is no different. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In pregnancy this little trick is even more of a gem as it stops the formation of shadows that the bump would generally cause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also blocks light from shining through your clothes and revealing the little bump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding dark clothes shouldn\u2019t be difficult as they are very sought after. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of maternity clothes, over recent years there has been a big push on more work appropriate wear which in turn has led to a lot more dark and black clothing for mums to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wear Loose Fitting Clothes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In simple terms having tight fitting clothes means literally outlining the bump and drawing attention to it which is counterproductive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So therefore, it may seem obvious that wearing loose clothing is one of the most effective tricks for hiding your bump, however it is one that is often overlooked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loose clothing does not grip to your body and therefore people are less able to make out exact shapes, such as your newly rounded belly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on your style there are many different types of loose clothing that you can wear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loose clothing can include a cute summer dress or sweatpants and a sweatshirt, so as you can see there really is something for everyone in this area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layers, Layers And More Layers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Layers! Probably one of the most understated trends within the fashion industry and even more so when it comes to maternity fashion.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layers are a trendy way to hide exact shapes and outlines and look very inconspicuous as no one will be suspicious of you layering up as long as you do it right! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way in which you layer up will depend on the time of year. It can include wearing a coat or a  jacket or simply wearing a shirt or over sized t-shirt over the top of your outfit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to maintain your own style throughout pregnancy (which can be important if you don’t want people to become suspicious) layers can be a great way to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wear Patterns<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wearing patterns can serve as a great distraction from whatever you are trying to hide so when disguising a bump this is a very valid option.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, wearing a plain white top will make your bump much more obvious than wearing a patterned white top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is because patterns distract the eye so onlookers are too busy looking at and being compelled to figure out patterns to notice your bump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patterns is a very broad term which is good as it leaves room for individuality and for you to still abide by your own style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patterns can include simple spots and stripes or can be made from luminous exotic birds. It really is all up to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Accessories<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Using accessories can be make or break when it comes to hiding your big secret. Accessories give you the power to deliberately cover certain areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best ways that you can use accessories to cover your bump is a scarf! A scarf can drape down covering your bump, it is also loose and has a flair so it doesn’t grip to the bump but rather floats freely in front of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scarfs are also not season dependent but rather they can be used year round in different varieties, for instance in winter you could use a cosy woolley or fluffy scarf but in some you can use a thin and bright piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Wear Overalls<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Although overalls are quite a niche fashion statement they can be a fantastic way of hiding your bump. These all-in-ones make it difficult for people to see your stomach as it is well hidden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overalls, also provide some great volume around your tummy so up until a certain stage the bump would be impossible to see anyway!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overalls can be a lot more fashionable than you may initially think, they can come in a range of colors and materials to meet your fashion needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may be worth looking online for some inspiration if this is a fashion move that you have not considered before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
