15 Places to Shop for the Best Maternity Clothes
When it comes to shopping for the best maternity clothes, the stylish variety available nowadays may surprise you. After all, it wasn’t that long ago that pregnant people had few options for maternity fashion (bar tent-like muumuus and overalls). Luckily, many brands now offer fashionable maternity clothes that serve up serious style throughout the nine+ months of pregnancy.
Of course, there’s a ton to consider when searching for the best maternity fashion. You’ll need to take sizing, budget, comfort and style into account. Most maternity stores recommend selecting your pre-pregnancy dress size, but it’s worth checking each individual brand’s sizing guideline and reading customer reviews before making a purchase. When it comes to practicality and comfort, you’ll want to opt for soft, stretchy items that will grow with your changing body. There are no limitations in terms of style, but classic A-line dresses, adjustable wrap tops and garments with ruching work particularly well during all three trimesters—and beyond. (For more tips on sourcing and selecting cute pregnancy outfits, check out our comprehensive guide to the best maternity clothing.)
Many pregnant people start to show toward the end of their first trimester or the beginning of their second, at which point you’ll want to ditch your regular clothes in favor of pieces specifically designed for pregnancy. Our top tip? Before you start shopping, draft a list of essential items you’ll need to create a capsule pregnancy wardrobe—like a staple pair of maternity jeans, leggings and a few trendy tops. Now it’s time to decide where to buy maternity clothes. Feeling overwhelmed with the various options? Read on to peruse the retailers and brands that offer the best maternity clothes for every need, every budget and every aesthetic—so you can celebrate your unique style and your blossoming bump.
