Memorial Day is traditionally the trigger day that you can wear white again.

That is the case if you pay attention to conventional fashion rules. I don’t, but it’s totally okay if you do. Moms-to-be may be hesitant wearing white while pregnant. Typically, as women gain weight as they advance in their pregnancy, they stick to basic black and all black palette because that color is slimming. Actually, monochromatic in any color has a slimming effect because it eliminates curves and creates one line. It also makes you look taller.

Nowadays, slim jeans made with stretchy elastic are available in maternity styles as well. These types of jeans will cinch you in and the compression effect is actually comforting to achy pregnancy legs, believe it or not. A peasant top with some embroidered trim at the neckline or cuff would pair perfectly.

And these days I am obsessing over Converse and other hi top sneakers. Carry a White tote and you’ve got your complete Memorial Day cook out look!
