Monochrome made a huge style stance on this season's catwalks, showing that sometimes things really do look better in black and white. 60s inspired skirt, £18,  from Asos

The summer 2013 catwalks were gleaming with printed trousers, with the likes of Peter Pilotto, Matthew Williamson, Moschino Cheap and Chic and House of Holland just a handful of designers showcasing this look. Cool change surf pant £139 Blossom Mother and Child

Spring/Summer 2013 trends: Printed maternity leggings and trousers, monochrome, geometric, floral and more

Peter Pilotto S/S 2013

Show off your bump in one of this season's  hottest trends with a pair of printed trousers.

The summer 2013 catwalks were gleaming with this style, with the likes of Peter Pilotto, Matthew Williamson, Moschino Cheap and Chic and House of Holland just a handful of designers showcasing this look.

Florals, bold block prints, monochrome geometrics, stripes and zig zags are just some of the prints that have filtered into the highstreet  and maternity world with Kim Kardashian and Peaches Geldof spotted showing off their bumps in a pair of printed trousers or leggings.

The key to this look is to keep the top part simple. Opt for a simple vest or tee in one colour and keep footwear to flats.

For a night out add a pair of simple heels and a one tone blazer.

Below are some of our virtual highstreet printed picks.

Maternity maxi dresses for Spring/Summer 2013

Despite the icy weather making us think its our winter wardrobes that should be updated, Spring/Summer 2013 style is truly here, waiting patiently in the wings for the warmer sun to show its face.

And nothing says summer and lets you show off your  bump more than a maxi dress.

The maternity and mainstream shelves are full of these long frocks in a range of patterns to channel this season's trend.

Choose from fun florals for a simple daytime look, go for bold geometric monochrome prints to make a stand or take a simple black frock and jazz it up with accessories for that night out with the girls.

See the gallery below for just a few available on the maternity scene.

Alice maxi dress, £110, Rock A Bye Rosie

Although this is technically not a maternity dress, we think the rouched waist is great for showing off that bump. River Island, £40

Maternity monochrome fashion for Spring/Summer 2013

Moschino Spring/Summer 2013

Monochrome made a huge style stance on this season's catwalks, showing that sometimes things really do look better in black and white.

Alexander Wang, Moschino, Marc Jacobs and Diane von Furstenberg, were just some of the designers to show off the 60s inspired trend, while over in the celebrity maternity fashion camp Kim Kardashian did her bit for the look stepping out in a cute black and white print shift dress. 

Thankfully this trend can interpreted to be as bold or as simple as you like, making it perfect for that maternity wardrobe.

Opt for graphic prints to give a big nod to the swinging 60s, with a checked print or bold stripes for a night out, while simple stark contrast blocking is a great way to channel this trend into the daytime - team up that must have black maternity dress with a simple white scarf and you're all set to go.

 See the gallery below on how to wear the trend.

Go for graphic prints to really make a stand. We think this 60s inspired skirt, £18,  from Asos is great

Turn  that staple black maternity dress, like this one £16.99, New Look, into hot monochrome property by simply adding a white scarf.

White scarf, £6 Matalan

This spot blouse, £32 Mamas and Papas,  is a perfect way to channel the trend in the office, or teamed with black jeans for a night out
