Postpartum Outfit Ideas and Inspo

Invest in a good nursing bra

I’ve talked about my all around favorite bras before, but a nursing bra is a whole different beast.

One of the most important items to have if you are planning on breastfeeding or exclusively pumping like me is a good nursing bra.

Even though it can be an expensive item, investing in a quality nursing bra will make your nursing journey much easier and more comfortable for both mama and baby.

Not only does it keep you supported, but many brands also create styles that are functional and stylish. Make sure to get fitted for the right size, as this makes all the difference when it comes to comfort!

Kindred Bravely makes some of my absolute favorite nursing bras and I love the different styles so that they’ll fit all body shapes and sizes.

Maxi dresses

Y’all, I am in LOVE with dresses postpartum.

You don’t have anything around your waist like you do with pants, but you can look put together and feel comfy at the same time.

Whether you’re running errands, hitting up the mall, or just hanging out with friends, dresses can be both stylish and comfortable.

Loungewear, loungewear, loungewear!

I just can’t stress it enough. Loungewear should be your go-to wardrobe staple after having a baby!

Not only is it cozy, but it’s also completely on trend. Perfect for those days when you just want to relax or run errands without compromising on style.

When choosing loungewear pieces, make sure you pick items that are breathable and soft, but still give a polished look.

On cooler days, jackets and puffer vests are a stylish yet comfortable way to look and feel your best.

A cute jacket or puffer vest is the perfect way to keep warm while still looking pulled together.

Y’all know I love my color so having color for my jackets is something I’m definitely in to, but if you’re more into neutrals, there’s something that will fit into any mama’s wardrobe. There’s no reason not to feel confident as you tackle this amazing motherhood journey!

Comfy stylish shoes

If you just had a baby but it’s not your first one, chances are you’re going to be up back on your feet quicker so that you can chase that other little one around.

Ask me how I know, haha!

One staple piece necessary is a comfy but fashionable pair of flats or sneakers. They’re convenient for long days running errands and corralling your other little ones.
