Best Maternity Clothes

If you live in jeans, you’ll need pair of maternity jeans to rock for the next nine months. Look to the Gap for help—the store made its name selling a variety of blues. Their maternity jeans come in four cuts (skinny jeans, jeggings, slim and relaxed) and two different panel styles. Panels range from just a little bit of elastic set into a traditional waistband to a full elastic panel you pull over your belly. Gap makes great leggings too.

Kindred Bravely has you covered with stylish designs and a wide range of sizes to fit everyone—you can even maximize your cup space by selecting one of their “busty” sizes. Best of all, they have super stretchy but supportive nursing tanks with built-in bras. Trust us, you’ll wear these 24 hours a day in the third trimester—as your breasts rapidly change shape—and for breastfeeding or pumping postpartum. The brand also carries sleepwear, activewear (we love their nursing sports bra) and underwear, all at an affordable price point.

Staying active is important when you’re pregnant—and yes, it is possible to still do downward dog with a beach ball-sized belly. And to help keep you comfy and cool during your workouts, we love these soft, lightweight bike shorts from Girlfriend Collective. What we love even more though is Girlfriend Collective’s philosophy: eco-friendly, sustainable activewear with 100% transparency about their materials and processes, so you can feel really good about what you work out in.

Pregnancy comes in all shapes and sizes, so we think maternity clothes should, too. While most brands will provide some plus-sized maternity styles, they’re usually limited in look and size. Not at PinkBlush. While they have a huge variety of styles for XS-XL sizes as well as Tall and Petite, their 1X-3X options are truly impressive (we’re talking 700+ plus-sized maternity looks). Everything is guaranteed to be on-trend, like this open-front kimono, which we love for its versatility.
