Top five maternity summer trench coats and macs

Phillip Lim SS 2013

Dear weather, all we'd like is a week of sun.

A week where we can get our pins out, bask in the warm rays of summer and not have to worry about taking out a maternity jacket or brolly.

However, we do know that we live in Britain and this is probably as unlikely as storks bringing in our impending bundles of joy.

Take advantage of the weather and show off the spring/summer 2013 trend channelled by the likes of Phillip Lim and Balenciaga with a maternity mac or trench coat.

Lightweight and waterproof, these classic items are perfect for any wardrobe keeping you dry during the summer showers, while being cool enough to ensure you and your bump don't overheat.

Pick a classic colour that will match your wardrobe and grow with you bump throughout those damp summer days.

Top five maternity spring/summer coats

The sun has finally made an appearance making us feel all spring like.

And while the temperatures may not yet be high enough to encourage us to ditch that winter maternity coat, we hope that we'll soon seen warmer days.

Get ahead of the shopping craze and invest in a maternity spring jacket  or coat from now.

Opt for a classic trench, which will last you through the spring/summer months and goes with just about anything, or go for an on-trend thin maternity leather jacket that's perfect for a night out or special occasion.
