#03 Maternity Tees

FAVS / RECOMMENDED BRANDS

Gap Fitted Maternity Tees $15-25

(never pay full price at Gap either, wait until there’s a sale or discount code of at least 30% off… lots of times you can snag a deal for 40% off!)

*if you’re following the Maternity Wardrobe Checklist, you’ll want 6-7 tees. I recommend 2 black, 2 grey, 1 white, and 1 stripped tee.

SIZING TIP: Personally, I order 1 size down in the Gap Pure Body fitted maternity tees. When I was pregnant with my first baby in 2017, I ordered Mediums and they fit great. This past pregnancy with my second baby in 2020, I had to re-order Smalls even though I was the exact same size and my previous size medium tees still fit as well!

SHOPPING TIP: Use the list of 7 tees above as inspiration & don’t be afraid to swap out one of the tees for a fitted maternity dress or a tank top, depending upon the season you’re going to be pregnant in!
