Here's What Happens When a Pregnant Woman Tried Kim Kardashian's Maternity Style IRL

While pregnant with baby number two, Kim Kardashian West has had time to fully refine her maternity style, loudly declaring that it's monochrome, sexy, and based on body-con pieces. And even if you're not likely to see expectant women around town rocking the curve-hugging, sheer looks that KKW favors, there is one spot you could've seen it put into action: San Francisco, where Popsugar editor Lauren Turner played copycat for a week.

The ensuring style realizations might just surprise you. When tackling one of the reality star's all-black looks, Turner actually felt covered up—and started to understand why Kardashian West rocks long, fluid coats so much. "Kim's duster coats are actually genius," she wrote. "They hide the butt, which inevitably grows while you're growing a human, and make the skin-tight, often sheer ensembles feel a lot less revealing."

The snug fit is what makes a lot of her maternity styles so eye-popping, but it might be more about comfort than paparazzi flashbulbs. When trying on an all-blush ensemble, Turner conceded that while the outfits seem "restrictive and confining, in reality they are probably the most comfortable option she has." Think about it: all those body-con cuts are actually super stretchy.
