We are delighted to include the Ulla Johnson Elowen Shorts in your curated capsule. These shorts are a fantastic addition for the first trimester, offering comfort and subtle adaptability as your body begins to change. The lightweight 100% cotton fabric ensures breathability, while the relaxed silhouette and gathered waistband with an adjustable tie at the front provide crucial ease around the midsection without feeling restrictive. The high rise (14.25 inches) means they'll sit comfortably, accommodating a subtle bump without any digging or pressure points. While the non-stretch weave and side zipper mean these won't be a go-to for later trimesters, they are perfect for those early months when you're seeking stylish pieces that don't overtly signal maternity wear yet still offer comfort and flexibility. They transition beautifully for postpartum wear, particularly after the initial healing phase, offering a chic, relaxed option for everyday wear.
