I agree they look fine on a pregnant women and children, but I would never wear them in NZ, as they are very unfashionable here, you would be hard pressed to find a pair in the shops.,infact apart from childrens wear or maternity wear, there would be none to buy here.

Wear what is comfortable, thats my motto, all the pregnant women in NZ donot wear maternity wear anymore, its fashionable to show off our pregnant belly nowadays here, so they just wear normal clothes stretched over their bulge, maybe in a bigger size, when I had my daughter wider clothes were the fashion, but those days are long gone.
