Sofia's maternity fashion: the daywear highlights

With just weeks to go until Princess Sofia becomes a mum for the first time, royal baby excitement is on the up again. So to keep us all calm during these regal great expectations, here's a look back at some of the daywear that Sofia has shown us since October 15th when she announced that her pregnancy. And there are some pretty stunning looks here. Sit back and enjoy some of the highlights of Sofia's maternity daywear.

Where else to start with a run down of some of the highlights of Sofia's daywear maternity looks than with this terrific teal top and black trousers combo? The top has a stunning drape effect and the addition of mid length sleeves gives it the perfect shape while the slim trousers and ankle boots add another winning touch to this outfit.

For a meeting ahead of the Nobel Prize ceremony, Sofia chose another draped top this time in a pale oatmeal. OK, we didn't get to see very much of it and we were all wondering just when her hair had got so long but it was still pretty enough and very appropriate for the event.

Hands up any pregnant woman out there who hasn't done the whole big scarf effect in at least one outfit? The latest royal take on this trend came as Sofia held an audience with Admir Lucacevic to launch a Sports without Borders project when she teamed a blue floral print scarf with a pale blue top and dark blue jacket and looked really rather nice indeed.

There was more blue on show the next day for a board meeting at the Royal Palace. We were here before with Crown Princess Sofia but this big splash of baby blue came around the time in a pregnancy that parents can find out the gender of their baby. Carl Philip and Sofia have said they don't know but let's just focus on the blue. It's a very pretty shade and shape as well and just very, well, blue.

Prins Carl Philip och Prinsessan Sofia tar emot julgranar från studenter vid jägmästarprogrammet på Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet (SLU). Sedan slutet av 1960-talet överlämnar SLU julgranar till Kungliga slottet. Kungsgranen har fått sitt nuvarande namn efter denna tradition, den hette från början nordmannsgran. Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia receives Christmas trees from students at the program of forestry at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU). Since the end of the 1960’s, SLU gives Christmas trees to the Royal Palace. The “king fir Christmas tree” have received its name from this tradition, it was earlier called Nordmann fir. #kungahuset #kungligaslottet #kungsgran #slu

As she took part in the official reception of the Christmas trees at the Royal Palace for the first time, Sofia went for a geometric print which worked rather well. It was bright, it was bold and it was teamed with a sharp jacket that added a formal element to the whole outfit. And mostly blue. Again. 

And there will be more of Sofia's daywear soon. Check out her evening maternity wear here.
