Tees
for Two
You've
always been the type to speak your mind, so why start holding back
now that you're a mom or mom-to-be? Fun tees that tell what you're
all about keep popping up all over. First there was the edgy Rubyvan
line (for knocked up rockers), and then the cleverly stylish Due
and Sprout. Well the options (like your belly) just keep
growing. Here are some of the latest.
MaterniTee by Swanky
Soft, colorful tees that let you express yourself in comfort and
style. The best selling, Mudflap Girl tee, features the iconic
hot-chick logo of truckers everywhere, only now she's sporting a
sizable bump. The Movie Rating tee tells the world you're
PG (pregnant girl), while the Mommywood tee continues the
theme. You can show off the little DJ-to-be in your belly with his
or her own strategically placed Headphones, or just end the
is-she-or-isn't she questions with the simple statement, Prego.

Trimester
This new line of maternity tees created by a self-described fashionista,
is as snappy as they come. Slogans are cheeky – Hormonally
Challenged, 100% Water Weight, Pregnant (not fat)
– or just brutally honest (Dying for a Drink, Kill
For Coffee). You can choose your silhouette – extra-long
sleeves, classic shape, tank style – each designed to accentuate
your curves, and color scheme. But don't look for pink and blue;
you get to choose from combos like coco and olive, grape and yellow,
chocolate and white, and straw and navy. The ultra-soft enzyme washed
cotton jersey has no itchy tags to irritate pregnant skin, and comes
in sizes 1, 2, and 3 to correspond to – well, you know. trimestertees.com.
2 Chix
The two ladies who founded this line call it “maternity wear
for the haute mama.” Indeed it is, with soft, formfitting designs
offering bold tongue-in-cheek statements like Knocked Up,
What's Kickin', I (heart) Pickles, We're Hungry,
and Who's Your Daddy. For the especially confident, there's
always the simple M.I.L.F., which pretty much says it all.
Dads can get in on the action too with the companion Daddy line,
featuring classics like My Boys Can Swim, Look What I
Did, and of course, He Shoots, He Scores. 2chix.com.
Planet Mom
If you think pregnancy should be approached irreverently, day-to-day
motherhood absolutely requires it. These snarky gems are embroidered
to order on all-cotton fitted tees. Tell the world you're Nanny
Deprived, Botox Free, Defying Gravity, or a Secretary
of Transportation. Maybe you want to say I Need a Playdate
or Because I Said So. Or just use your T-shirt to ask that
great existential question – Pizza or Chicken Nuggets?

Promom Couture
Founded by three Atlanta moms, this line of self-affirming tees
sport messages like Happy Mom, Peace Love Mom, Lucky
Mom, All Natural Mom and Balanced Mom (hey, you're
trying anyway). Or, honor your inner hottie with Knockout Mom
or this favorite, Carpool Candy. promomcouture.com.
