It is unlikely that expectant mothers will want to totter around in high heels when their baby bump begins to grow and it seems as though a pair of Converse trainers could be the ideal solution.

Writing for the National, Ducie Bailey of the Ducie fashion label claims that the great thing about pregnancy is it lets women get away with wearing anything.

This is because people no longer need to be worried about whether on not they have been down to the gym to tone up their stomach and fight the flab.

Ms Bailey, who is expecting a child, writes: “But if youre pregnant it doesnt matter, so Im wearing stuff I wouldnt normally wear: body-conscious dresses, blue-and-white striped tops with leggings and Converse trainers.”

One famous beauty who manages to look “effortlessly cool” in Converse trainers is Bar Rafaeli, the model girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio, Look magazine claims.
