Believe me, I feel your pain at having to brave the summer heat while expecting. It feels as if your skin is going to melt at any second and all you want to do is kick-up your heels, drink a smoothie, and go for a swim. This season there's no need to wear a mumu and sit under the shade of a tree all day long because there are plenty of warm-weather maternity looks that you can wear to look chic and feel cool in.
The key to building a good maternity wardrobe is going for solids that can easily be mixed-and-matched as you progress in pregnancy. From maxi dresses to Bermuda shorts, stockpile these warm weather maternity clothes to survive the summer in true mama-to-be fashion.
