Maternity tights

-->









Come wintertime, maternity tights are a must for pregnancy legs. Normal tights can get pretty uncomfortable but these specially designed versions will stretch over your bump and don’t dig in at the waistband. You can also get some varieties that claim to support your bump and reduce pressure on your back. (Spanx have a celebrity following but stress mums-to-be should only be wearing their pregnancy range.)
When it comes to “girdles”, we’re not talking scary stomach-holding-in belts, but rather pregnancy support bands. These can help give your bump extra support, which may come in handy if you’re suffering back pain. You can also get maternity vests and knickers with built in bump support that does the job too.




During pregnancy, your uterus and abdominal muscles will stretch to accommodate your growing bump so it is best to avoid tight bands that will cut across your abdomen. 

Support knickers are designed to support your back and abdominal muscles. You can buy special maternity briefs and choose either small knickers that will fit under your bump, or big ones that cover it. However bigger knickers, than your normal size may suffice. Many women just want to throw the pants they wore during pregnancy away once they are returning to their previous body shape. You may not want to waste loads of money on expensive pants. 

During pregnancy natural fibres, such as cotton are better for you than synthetic fabrics. 

There are differing opinions on what to wear immediately after birth. Some new mums find disposable maternity knickers are ideal for wear after the birth. Others prefer to save their old knickers and then throw them away. 

Support hosiery helps prevent varicose veins, and aching legs, and can be especially useful if you are on your feet a lot. Support tights are designed to fit throughout pregnancy, with a shaped foot & gusset. An alternative is to buy a larger size than normal.


 These black maternity tights of the label Formes are very soft to the skin. They have been developed in order to be agreeable to wear to any occasion. The hazy look of these 15 deniers tights shapes and refines the legs for a glamorous effect. The seams and the special cut enable you to wear these tights throughout pregnancy without it cutting into the belly. The soft elastic of the Lycra procures you optimal comfort. Produced in France, of excellent quality, the maternity tights by Formes are THE basic to have in your wardrobe all year round.

Matt black opaque maternity tights, made from super soft microfibre. Opaque tights are a maternity wardrobe essential, perfect for getting more wear out of skirts in cooler weather, or if you would just rather not show off your legs (and lets face it, sometimes shaving legs sometimes goes into the too hard basket during late pregnancy!) These oh-so-comfortable tights can be pulled up over your bump, and will not slip down. You will want to keep wearing them long after your pregnancy, which is fine, because they will still fit beautifully!

Modern vintage style with tights





Retro is a culturally outdated or aged style, trend, mode, or fashion, from the overall post-modern past, that has since that time become functionally or superficially the norm once again. The use of "retro" style iconography and imagery interjected into post-modern art, advertising, mass media, etc. It generally implies a vintage of at least fifteen or twenty years. For example, clothing from the 1980s or 1990s could be retro.
