The Big Chill

German baby line Hessnatur recently introduced its organic maternity collection to the States. The 30-year-old brand based on all-natural fibers now includes casual-chic clothing like cargo pants, pj’s, turtlenecks, tees and tights that actually fit your bump (designer Miguel Adrover oversees a portion of the women’s wear). With even more winter ahead, especially appropriate is a cozy poncho sweater, made of Turkish cotton and Australian wool — the over-the-head design lets you move freely without struggling to toggle a trench coat over your tummy.

Now that’s friendly.
