One of the things I remember struggling with the most when I was pregnant, and that other women struggled with too, was finding office-appropriate maternity clothing [1]. While I'm fortunate to work in publishing and have a casual and stylish office environment, there were certainly times when I was presenting or going to a meeting and I wanted to look a little bit more buttoned up. Out today, J.Crew has teamed up with the popular brand Hatch to unveil a collaboration focussed on solving this wardrobe dilemma. The collection was designed by a team of mothers, so each piece has that expertise behind it — a bit of form and function. Think midi sweater dresses, sharp blazers, and even a trench so chic you'll want to wear if beyond pregnancy. In fact, it's so good it might entice you to get pregnant just so you can wear it (it's enticing us, that's for sure)!
