We’re in love with Blake Lively all over again. This time it isn’t because of her heart-throb husband, or the fact that she’s as crazy about cupcakes as we are or even because she’s the most glamorous mom-to-be EVER. It’s because Blake has made it totally acceptable — and classy — to live in a coat. Rather than letting the bump become an obstacle for personal style, Blake has shown us how to embrace it. It’s winter (practically) and you’ve got a baby (bump) to keep warm. So take a cue from Blake and style that bump in the perfect coat. From fab outerwear to extra-roomy blanket wraps, here are 18 cozy-chic pieces to help you turn heads just like Blake.
1. Patch Pocket Coat ($198): This slightly edgy piece comes with lots and lots of pockets for tissues and lip gloss and lotion and snacks and all kinds of goodies that every mom-to-be needs on hand.
2. Satellite Image Swing Coat ($168): So cozy, it might as well be a blanket. You’ll reach for it on those days when it’s too cold to leave the bed in the first place. (Umm, are we the only ones who feel like that all winter?)
3. Lightweight Hooded Parka ($67): You’ll be asking for permission to wear this parka every day. It’s designed for every stage of pregnancy, complete with a drawstring waistline that might even work with your post-baby wardrobe.
