One of your favourite, affordable fashion brands has just launched a maternity collection.

Maternity fashion can be a struggle.

Your body changes to accommodate your new arrival and as a result your boobs get bigger, your belly expands, other unexpected body parts swell and even the biggest skinny jean devotee tuns into a ‘stretchy fabrics only’ convert.

And while ASOS maternity fashion, Bump Style and the Kmarts and Targets of the world have been catering to mums-to-be, another affordable fashion heavyweight has joined the race.

Enter Zara.

The Spanish fashion conglomerate, known for their accessible take on trends, has released a range of chic and comfy where-everywhere basics and statements pieces you’ll want to wear even after you give birth.

There’s a sweater inspired by everybody’s favourite cartoon beagle, a range of maternity jeans and stretchy, ribbed dresses that guarantee all day comfort and style.
