The ultimate Vogue editor’s guide to maternity dressing

If someone is ever going to tell us what to wear, please let it be VOGUE. 

Digital director of VOGUE Australia, Francesca Wallace, is currently pregnant and has given the public a full spiel on everything maternity wear - and yes, she mentions one of our best-selling styles. 

Francesca talks about the importance of building a maternity capsule wardrobe and the top 8 styles you should have in your closet - with our Adjustable Zadie Pants being a top MUST-HAVE when it comes to suit pants.

“A pair of suit or silk pants which work in an office environment and can be mixed and matched with different shirts. My favourite wide-legged suit pants have been from Australian brand Apéro, which does an adjustable waistline suit pant that you could wear postpartum as well, since it’s fully adjustable. I’ve gotten a lot of wear out of these babies.” — Francesca Wallace, digital director.

Zadie Adjustable Wide Leg Trouser - Black

Introducing the Zadie Adjustable Wide Leg Trouser in Black. Unlike regular maternity pants, these bottoms are designed to grow with you throughout pregnancy and beyond. Zadie was born from the belief that pregnancy shouldn’t limit style nor sacrifice wearing the pieces you love.

Zadie’s revolutionary design allows the waist to increase up to four times larger than your usual size, whilst maintaining a true to size fit through the hip and leg. On the inside of the pants are two adjustable bands with button holes and a hidden elastic at the back waistband to allow for a comfortable fit and adjustment.

Zadie’s modern wide leg cut and versatility allows you to effortlessly dress it up or down for a casual and elevated look or chic corporate ensemble.

Francesca's Styling Tips

Obviously it wouldn’t be a Vogue article without some styling reccos. Below, Francesca lets us in on how she is styling her own Zadie pants.

“I have been utterly obsessed with…my Apéro suit pants, which have an adjustable waist. I’ll pair those with either a tight fitting T-shirt which meets the pants right at the seam, or a fitted collared shirt. Then, I’ve been wearing my Harris Tapper Tilmans blazer or jacket over the top to give the outfit something interesting.”
