In most areas of the country, winter brings freezing cold temperatures and the need to bundle up. You will need to add to your wardrobe to keep warm this winter. The price tags on winter maternity clothes are quite steep. You can save money and keep warm with a little planning.
The first thing to consider is your lifestyle. What are your wardrobe requirements for work? If you don’t work or have a job that allows casual dress, you won’t have to worry about work clothes. If you are working and need a professional wardrobe, you will have to spend more money. Look for warm and classic separates that can be combined in a few different ways to create a larger wardrobe.
Splurge on one or two really nice outfits for meetings or events where you must dress to impress. To save your budget, cut corners in other ways. A cardigan sweater or two can be worn with many different shirts. This will save you money on a closet full of expensive maternity sweaters. This is also great if you get warm during the day and want to take off your sweater.
When you are at home, choose comfortable clothes for relaxing. Sweats and knit leggings are comfortable and warm. Pair them with a long sleeved shirt or a T shirt with a sweat jacket. If you tend to get warm and cold throughout the day, this is a good option. You can take off the jacket when you get too warm.
You will need a warm coat for the winter. You may get lucky and your coat may continue to fit. Otherwise, you will have to get a warm winter coat that fits you properly. Be sure to wear gloves and a hat to stay warm and dry this winter.
