As you're assembling your new maternity outfits, it's like shopping any other time — only it's far more special. First, you'll need to find the basics and set yourself up with a few staples.

Since the basics are the building blocks of any wardrobe, it's a good idea to look for simple pieces that you can easily combine. If you grab a few pairs of maternity leggings, a tank top or two and a couple of graphic T-shirts, you'll be off to a good start.

Adding a pair of maternity jeans is always a good idea, too. Styles like flare, bootcut and skinny offer two kinds of belly panels that will keep you comfortable. They're easy to combine with other basics and ideal for going shopping or heading to appointments.

Once you've picked out the basics, it's time to choose other pieces from the maternity collection. Easy to mix and match, you can dress them up or down with budget-friendly pieces from the maternity clearance section. You'll have a pregnancy wardrobe that can carry you from the time you start showing until you're nursing your bundle of joy.
