A Fleece for Forty Weeks (+ Forever)


Sometimes the best maternity pieces aren’t maternity at all (at least not on purpose), but generously cut basics that take you all the way through that proverbial “fourth trimester”—and beyond. We love how Kathleen of @letsbemomfriends is styling our bump-friendly Sunnyside Cover-Up for the final countdown to her baby’s debut. Here’s why the piece checks all of her boxes when it comes to pregnancy style.

When it comes to bump style I’m all about a loose, comfortable fit and pieces that I can wear pre- and post-babe! The Sunnyside Cover-Up is that ultimate maternity staple for summer.

I’ve been referring to it as my ‘mom cape’ because it will take you from the city to the beach with zero effort. It looks fab as a poncho paired with crisp white denim or as a simple cover-up over a bathing suit.

Added Bonus: I can keep wearing it those first few weeks post-babe when comfort is key. I see myself sporting this poncho around the house with a pair of leggings and cozy slippers... And of course I’ll be packing it for beach days and chillier summer evenings out in Montauk.  Shop Kathleen's DS Pineapple Canvas Tote too.
