It&#8217;s hot, and skirts help keep you cool by letting air flow around your body.<\/li>\n<li>Cover up your legs on hot days with shorts, leggings, or even knee-high socks &#8211; these will help keep you from overheating.<\/li>\n<li>Try maternity dresses that offer an empire waistline so they don&#8217;t fall when you&#8217;re sitting down or bending over (this can happen because of the weight gain).<\/li>\n<li>Choose lightweight fabrics like cotton, linen, rayon, and silk, which will be more breathable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>When it comes to dressing during the summer months, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind when you&#8217;re pregnant. For starters, it&#8217;s essential to dress for your current state of pregnancy. It might be tempting to wear just about anything when you know this will be your last season of being pregnant, but now is not the time to take any risks with clothing that could potentially cause harm or discomfort. Additionally, if you&#8217;re at a point where your maternity clothes are no longer fitting comfortably, and your regular clothes don&#8217;t work either due to weight gain or size fluctuations caused by hormones \u2013 then investing in some new pieces for summertime is critical. Finally, as always &#8211; comfort should trump all other considerations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every pregnant woman wants to look and feel her best during pregnancy.
