© TOPSTAR PicturesThe Duchess of Cambridge has repeatedly proved that she is no snob when it comes to shopping (she is always spotted at her favorite stores Zara and Reiss, among others), and when it comes to her maternity wear, Middleton continues to keep it real!

The mother-to-be showed off a chic printed Zara cape while shopping in West London on Wednesday, which she paired with black leggings a black scarf and riding boots.

And Zara isn’t the only retailer that she is gracing with her presence while she’s expecting. Just last week, she was also seen inside a London Gap store looking for leggings. We can’t wait to see what other adorable ensembles she puts together as her baby bump continues to grow.

I believe the Duchess will continue to be a fashion trend setter during her pregnancy.  I'm hoping that some of her good taste in maternity clothing will rub off on other expectant mothers prompting the fashion industry to make more appropriate choices of maternity clothing.  I can't see the Duchess wearing something that bares her growing belly or that is tight and vulgar looking.  I'm not saying pregnant women aren't beautiful.  I'm saying that most expectant women do not dress appropriately.  That is just my opinion.

Awesome. Thank God she looks like a respectable mother to be instead of this hoochy mama look that everyone is sporting. Finally a return to elegance! Well Done Duchess!

I agree. Pregnant women should not dress like they are "homeless". It's not hard to find larger shirts to wear over stretch pants or long skirts. When I was pregnant we had something wondering called the "tent" dress. It was one of the fashions you could wear from beginning to the end.  And they were very stylish.  One does not have to look like they raided their hubby's closet for something big enough to wear. There are stylish maternity clothes out there if one cares to look stylish. Now, if you don't care what you look like or want people to stare and make rude comments, I'm sure you can find lots of clothes that will give you that look, also.

I'm so glad Kate is a practical girl who likes to look chic even when pregnant.

I agree so much with what Ms. Harris said.  So many expectant moms do look vulgar and being pregnant is such a beautiful thing why down grade yourself. I think the Dutchess will present herself in a beautiful manner.  She has morales that so many are lacking these days. She is sure to set an example. Maybe the world of young folks will open  their eyes!!!

I don't like it when women expose their baby bump with tight tank tops, or tight dresses--

 

Looks like they've had a big meal or cannot get a grip on the bloated look---no guessing they are pregnant.

I am not sure what pregnant ladies you have seen that look vulgar, but I know that there are some places that you can shop like Maternity Mothers, that sell up to date maternity clothes.  I loved that store when I was pregnant.  I was fearful when I was pregnant that maternity clothes ment I was going to have to wear moo moos or something that Mrs. Roper wore on the show Threes Company, but I was shocked that I could feel comfortable and look somewhat fashionable while pregnant.  Kate has the money to spend on what ever she wants and she chooses to be smart about the way she spends money on clothes which I give her thumbs up for.  She is wonderful at what she does and how she does it.

I agree with everyone Kate is a beautiful woman, and I am sure that she will set the trend on how to dress when you are expecting. There are young women out here who dress as though they are trying to get a date (if you know what I mean).People can see that you are expecting, so DRESS TO IMPRESS!!!!!!!
