There is a great shopping debate around how much true maternity wear you need to purchase for the short-lived pregnancy. And while there are strategic ways to shop non-maternity items that will flex with your changing shape, a handful of maternity brands are worthy of adding to your wardrobe for the duration of your journey. Plus, you may be able to wear them well beyond birth, too.
Here are 13 of our favorite maternity brands.
Storq
It’s all about setting a solid foundation to get you through the next nine months, and with Storq’s key basics, you will have the baseline covered. We are loving their basics bundle which provides the perfect base for your maternity capsule wardrobe including their simply perfect T-shirt dress, signature leggings, pencil skirt and white tank.
Superkin
Made from luxurious, wear-tested fabrics and featuring thoughtful design details, Superkin makes gorgeous maternity clothes you’ll actually want to wear. Each piece is a welcome addition to a solid maternity capsule wardrobe, making them a worthy investment from the first trimester. Consider the breezy Single Collar maternity blouse and Perfect pant, well, perfect.
Nom Maternity
It’s all about quality over quantity, and this is true whether you’re pregnant or not. NOM Maternity pays close attention to sourcing the best fabrics possible to last throughout your pregnancy. Take a look at this easy striped long sleeve t-shirt for a layering essential.
Hatch
Every pregnant woman needs at least one Hatch Collection piece in her maternity wardrobe. Beautifully designed, these classic and on-trend items will go the distance, from bump and beyond. Our favorites include the Knit Onesie and Airplane Cardigan.
Tellus Mater
Founded by a former ELLE and Marie Claire beauty editor, Tellus Mater offers high-end, sophisticated maternity looks for mamas who are looking beyond the standard ruched dresses and oversize T-shirts. This so-chic-it-hurts pleated dress is one we’ll be thinking about for ages.
Ripe
Building a wardrobe of essentials during pregnancy that will take you from work to the weekend is crucial. Ripe offers these key pieces, and are we in love with this tunic dress. From sneakers to heels, you’ll wear it with everything. (And these c-section friendly overalls are 😍!)
Loyal Hana
The best part about Loyal Hana is that their pieces are not only designed with the belly in mind, but the boob too! Wear Loyal Hana before, during and after your pregnancy with strategically placed hidden zippers for nursing ease. Some of our favorites? The Christy top and Ali dress.
Asos
Remain on-trend throughout pregnancy with these affordable pieces from ASOS. The online shopping giant keeps style on point without breaking the bank. This tie dye sweatshirt and striped maxi is really all you need this season.
Stowaway Collection
Everything from the mama/daughter duo owned Stowaway Collection is sewn in Long Island City, NY and they source USA-made fabric whenever possible. Their bump-hugging and universally flattering essentials are premium quality and priced just right. We love this maternity to nursing raglan-style dress and long-sleeve ballet tunic.
Doen
We know, we know…Doen is not specifically designed for pregnant women, but the fabric is forgiving, and many of the silhouettes allow for belly growth. You can wear these beautiful pieces, like the Thoreau dress, before, during and after.
