Everyone loves to come home in the evenings and slip on a comfortable outfit - enter loungewear. However, getting comfortable is especially important when you're pregnant, and Lucy Mecklenburgh came to the rescue for her fellow expectant mothers looking for the perfect cosy outfit. The former TOWIE star has been open about her pregnancy journey with fans and she took to social media to share her go-to maternity loungewear.
Showing off her blossoming baby bump, Lucy shared a picture of herself wearing a soft leopard print ensemble as she relaxed on her sofa with a fluffy brown blanket. She clearly had an abundance of questions from fans inquiring about her outfit, because she quickly followed up with another post that revealed her outfit was from high-street store Next. "I also agree it's so hard to find lovely maternity loungewear! This is soo soft & comfy." Luckily, both parts of the cosy set are still available to buy online, with the sweater costing £28 and the matching joggers costing £26. For the relaxing soft material, the total price tag of £54 is definitely worth the investment - baby or not, we want them!

Alongside a picture of her air conditioning controller set to 18 degrees, she wrote: "I have every window open and I'm still hot! Air con in January it is!! I can't imagine being 8 months preggers in July/August!!"
