11 Maternity Bras That Are Surprisingly Stylish
Jun 05, 2017
Pregnancy — exciting time as it may be — hasn’t always been considered the peak sartorial period for most women. The lack of stylish maternity options is largely to blame (which is exactly how designer Sonia Rykiel got her start — she’d had enough of cringe-worthy maternity wear), but with the dawn of the #OOTD, Insta-worthy maternity wear is finally on the rise. Lingerie included. You might have noticed that your fave lacy underthings just aren’t cutting it anymore and more supportive pieces have become a top priority. Never fear! The 11 nursery and bump-ready bras below strike the ultimate balance between form and function — because you should never have to compromise, girl.
