Maternity Faves and Raves: American Apparel’s Yo Mama Collection

I saw the American Apparel’s ad for their Yo Mama clothes and my heart skipped a beat. My pregnancy wardrobe could definitely use a good dose of American Apparel’s cool basics. When I first clicked on the ad and saw what they recommended, I wasn’t excited. I couldn’t see myself wearing unitards and leg warmers to the playground or the supermarket. After further investigation, I found many very chic options for pregnant women, hiding amongst the non-pregnant women’s clothes. See some of my favorites after the jump.

Fine Jersey Racerback Tank Dress has just enough form fitting style to hug my belly and still be comfortable. Great as a bathing suit cover up, too. (Probably should wear with a tank top underneath if you want to wear a bra!) Available in seven solid colors and one striped. ($32)

Sheer Rib Loose Sleeveless Dress makes me feel considerably more stylin’ than my usual pregnancy garb. This casual dress looks great with sandals or flip flops. Looks super fab at the playground, but also works great for date night. Available in four colors. ($32)

Pinpoint Oxford Shirt Dress looks adorable with leggings or without. On me, it’s more of a large button down shirt than a dress, but that’s because I’m eight months pregnant. I plan on wearing this for months to come after my baby is born. Available in two colors and also as a Poly-Cotton version. ($62)

I personally think American Apparel should create an entire maternity collection, but for now we can borrow from the non-maternity clothes and come up with some very fashionable and comfy looks. Shop American Apparel.
