Celebrating Valentine’s with babies and kids in tow? Show off that undeniable mother and child style connection with some red-hot fashion pieces from Smitten.

Flattering designs are all over Smitten to help expectant mums stay confident with their new curves. From shirts and tops to sweaters and jackets to dresses and maxis, pregnantwomen have a lot to choose from to make their Valentine fashion statement.

Maternity tops
Shirts and tops from Noppies are created from the softest, supplest materials for maximum comfort. Choose a turtleneck sweater for a classic and elegant look, or a long sleeves shirt with a V-neck and a beautiful photo print. If it’s preppy fashion you’re after, you can’t go wrong with a coated finish jacket with a roll-up sleeves.

Maternity dresses
A dress with a flowy fit from Noppies with a feminine V-neck and subtle bow detail can add sophistication to your Valentine day. On the other hand, a dress with a flattering A-line fit, an elegant tie belt and a loose top made of see-through fabric will get you admiring looks. If you want to showcase your bump in style, go for a side ruched V-neck dress from Mothers En Vogue.

On trend without going on full red
If you prefer to show just a hint of Valentine fashion, get a maxi dress in cobblestone with red floral embellishments from Mothers En Vogue, or a knee-length one piece with gathered sleeves from Fragile maternity.A special evening, meanwhile, calls for something glamorously elegantly, and Seraphine has a silk and lace floor-length dress in mulberry to make you dazzle through the night.

Valentine fashion for the little ones is a breeze with Smitten’s charming picks. Babies and kids alike will look nothing but adorable with a flurry of hearts, not just on red and pink, but all fun and bright colours loved by kids. Choose from these Agatha Ruiz De La Prada creations: white babygrow with an overload of bright coloured heart prints and a large pink heart appliqued on the front; long sleeves and tights set with heart prints; long top and leggings set made from soft, stretchy cotton jersey; or, parkas and coats with equally cute heart details to keep them snug as you enjoy an outdoor Valentine celebration.
