OFFICE STYLE: Your guide to dressing well and feeling good at work

THE OFFICE EDIT: DRESS WELL, FEEL GOOD

Versatile pieces to style your way, from the office and beyond.

 

 

 

Pregnancy is a time of great change, including in your wardrobe. Your body changes, your bump grows, and finding the right look for a day at the office can feel like a real challenge. But feeling comfortable doesn’t mean giving up on elegance or putting your personal style aside.

A maternity wardrobe can evolve with your body, with pieces designed to support you through every stage of pregnancy and adapt to everyday life. Soft fabrics, considered fits and functional details come together with tailored lines, modern silhouettes and feminine touches, creating a way of dressing that puts well-being at the centre without compromising on aesthetics.

From trousers with elasticated maternity waistbands to poplin shirts and dresses to wear with smart shoes, dressing for the office during pregnancy can become an opportunity to reinterpret your personal style.

Maternity Trousers For The Office : The Foundation of Every Look

When it comes to office dressing, trousers are often the starting point. During pregnancy, choosing the right silhouette becomes even more important: a cigarette leg creates a more tailored look, a straight-leg style maintains a polished feel, while wide-leg trousers introduce a more fluid, modern volume.

The real difference, however, lies in the construction. Elasticated maternity waistbands, in jersey or made from the same fabric as the trousers, are designed to adapt as your bump grows and provide support and comfort, even on longer days.

Among the styles to add to your new maternity wardrobe are: Naomi and Elisa, classic cigarette trousers with a central crease, Kimberly and Winona, wide-leg styles in solid colours or pinstripes for those who love a more generous silhouette, or Alex, printed trousers for a more personal touch.

The key is to choose at least two silhouettes to alternate, allowing you to create different outfits and adapt your look to the needs of the day.

 

Elegant Maternity Shirts & Tops: Playing with Proportions

If trousers define the foundation of an outfit, the shirt is the piece that sets its tone, making the look more formal, feminine or relaxed depending on the style and how it is paired.

Poplin is a staple of office dressing and lends itself to endless combinations. Shirts like Imma and Carolina, with their button-front designs, are perfect for an effortlessly elegant look. Olivia, with its oversized silhouette, is an iconic style from our brand, designed for those who love softer, more relaxed proportions.

For those looking for a distinctive detail, there are Beatrice, with its rounded silhouette, and Matilde, with its front bow. These styles add personality even to looks built around just a few pieces.

When the occasion calls for something more sophisticated, satin takes centre stage with Sydney and Alissa, two styles that bring light and elegance to the look.

For those who prefer a jersey piece, a turtleneck top like Lara or a draped top like Issa can be just as effective. Soft lines and details that adapt as the bump grows make it easy to create comfortable outfits that can also be styled for your free time.

Maternity Jacket: The Third Element to Complete the Look

Sometimes all it takes is a jacket to completely transform a look. A classic blazer remains a timeless choice for the office, especially when worn open over a shirt or top.

For those looking for a more modern alternative to the blazer, Attesa Maternity's Nina jacket-inspired shirt style is made from soft bouclé. Its clean lines, classic collar and patch pockets define the silhouette, while its versatility makes it easy to pair with trousers, shirts, dresses or even jeans.

It is the piece that completes the wardrobe without making it feel too formal, adding structure and personality even to the simplest outfits.

Maternity Work Dress: A Simple and Sophisticated Solution

There are days when the simplest solution is also the most elegant. A dress creates a complete look in just a few easy steps, while allowing freedom of movement and comfort.

Jersey dresses such as Amelia and Issa can be worn to the office with tights and smart shoes, or styled for a more casual look.

Among the satin styles, there are Mariella, Emily and Francisca, designed to softly follow the silhouette with a feminine feel. Geometric prints, soft volumes and adjustable details become both functional and decorative elements.

A dress is also a practical solution for those who want to get dressed quickly, without having to think about too many combinations. Simply change your accessories to create a different look every time.

 

How to Build a Versatile Maternity Wardrobe

An office wardrobe during pregnancy doesn’t necessarily need to be extensive. What matters more is choosing pieces that can be combined with one another and adapt as your body changes.

Some key starting points include:

  • Trousers: a cigarette-leg style and a pair of wide-leg trousers.

  • Shirts: a poplin shirt and an elegant satin blouse.

  • Essential tops: a basic turtleneck and a draped top.

  • Jackets: a classic blazer and a bouclé jacket.

  • Dresses: a jersey style and a satin dress, both to be worn with tights and ankle boots.

Starting with these pieces, you can create countless combinations and adapt your look to different occasions, from work to plans outside the office.

Dress Well, Feel Good

Maternity clothing is about more than finding the right fit. It is also a way to continue expressing your personality during a time when everything is changing.

A beautifully tailored pair of trousers, a poplin shirt, a soft jacket or a dress you can slip into with ease can become valuable everyday essentials. Pieces to mix, match and wear naturally, both in and out of the office.

Because comfort and elegance don’t have to be opposing needs: they can coexist, accompanying you throughout pregnancy with style and confidence.
