Sagaponack mother and entrepreneur Shelly Suh has a brilliant, stylish solution for new mothers. Her new clothing line, Loyal Hana, is designed specifically for pregnant and nursing mothers. Hidden zippers in the seams aid in discreet breastfeeding, and the cotton, rayon and poly-blends are easy to wash. The styles can be worn during pregnancy and after, and the designs are far from matronly. Embracing the most popular relaxed silhouettes of the season, these shift dresses, blouses and tanks will help new mothers embrace their motherhood without forgetting their own personal style. The secret zippers are completely hidden, but easy to access. The line comes in an array of colors, from basic patterned greys to colorful plaids and bold geometric designs. Suh, believing that convenient and stylish options are a necessity for all new mothers, has priced all of the pieces as low as possible, between $55 and $105. You can order your own at loyalhana.com.
