4 Essential Maternity Styling Tips from a Seasoned Pro

As a Mum of two boys and with a third on the way, L/H muse Sara Pearman (@sarampearman), has truly mastered the art of maternity dressing. Balancing comfort, function, and style is no easy feat, but Sara makes it look effortless. Here are four tried-and-true styling tips that have simplified her wardrobe choices during this busy third pregnancy:

 

 

1. Embrace a Refined Colour Palette
To make those hectic mornings a little easier, build your maternity wardrobe within a cohesive palette of neutrals. Sticking to classic hues (like Sara's pick of Charcoal and crisp white) not only makes it easier to mix and match but also ensures you can quickly pull together chic outfits when time is short. For Mums juggling multiple kids during the morning rush, this strategy is a lifesaver. Add a personal touch with bold accessories - think gold hoops, sleek sneakers, or a standout tote - to keep your look fresh and full of personality.

2. Denim: The Ultimate Go-To
We all have those "nothing-to-wear" days, right? Denim is the reliable fallback that never disappoints. Whether it’s our Low Rise Wide Leg Jeans in classic Mid Blue or a easy-to-wear Denim Jacket, the versatility of denim means you can create a look for any occasion, even on the days when inspiration is running low.

3. A Hero Dress: The Ultimate One-and-Done Solution
Every maternity capsule wardrobe deserves a hero dress - a chic, effortless piece that instantly makes you feel polished and put-together. It’s like a natural mood enhancer that can transform your day. Sara loves the soft peony hue of her favourite 90s inspired Slip Satin Dress, which adds a refined pop of colour without straying from her neutrals-based maternity wardrobe. The beauty of a hero dress lies in its simplicity: it’s a one-and-done solution that breaks up your weekly outfit routine with an easy alternative to the usual top-and-pants combo.

4. Go Head-to-Toe Tonal
One trick for looking polished in a flash is going head-to-toe in a single hue. This monochromatic approach is a tired mum’s secret weapon - it instantly elevates your look, giving you that fabulous, put-together vibe, even if you’re not feeling it. It’s an easy, yet impactful, way to boost your confidence on those busy days when you need it most.
