Our Favorite Places to Shop for Maternity Wear

Share this project

Shopping for maternity clothes is a challenge! Stores stock very little and you never know how pieces are going to fit. If you have been pregnant before, your second go-round could be in a totally different season. My first was born in the dead of winter and I am currently 34 weeks pregnant with my second due on the unofficial last day of summer. My pregnancy wardrobe is drastically different, but one thing that hasn’t changed is that I don’t want to break the bank unless I have a special occasion or a piece I know I will continue wearing post-pregnancy.

My recommendation to anyone embarking on their pregnancy journey is to invest in one or two pairs (depending on the season) of maternity jeans, a pair of denim shorts, if season-appropriate. Several dresses that make you feel good, that may mean highlighting your bump to you, for me, it’s easy shapes that I can wear with a comfy bra. I normally gravitate toward loose-fitting styles, so I don’t have to buy a whole new wardrobe, but a few tees or tanks that cover your entire bump are a must, and I think a great polished blouse or shirt is a good place to spend, this is my favorite. You may also need a few new bras depending on the changes in your body. So now you have an idea of what you need, but where do you go?! The team and I, almost all very new moms, have rounded up our favorite places to shop for maternity.
