“Gone are the days of hiding your bump, and now is the time to show it off!” Stitch Fix stylist Nicole Scudder tells Verywell Family. “There is no right or wrong time to start buying maternity clothes. If you are excited to add some maternity pieces to your closet, go for it.”  With that in mind, we looked at all the online retailers of maternity clothing and evaluated their variety of fashionable products, size inclusivity, price range, return policies, and shipping rates to come up with this list. Here are the best places to buy maternity clothes.

The pieces are simple yet stylish and well-made. It’s a one-stop shop for modern parents-to-be. You’ll appreciate that every product has a “fit notes” area that outlines how it fits, with details such as how the garment’s size should compare to your pre-pregnancy sizing, inseam measurements, and how many months pregnant the models in the photos are for comparison. ASOS makes it super easy to stay stylish on a budget. We love that the brand has tons of maternity jumpsuits ranging from colorful to classic, like this black beach jumpsuit. As stylist Nicole Scudder tells Verywell Family, “Jumpsuits are definitely trending. Whether you are wearing a knit style with a baseball cap and sneakers, or a wide leg style with jewelry and wedges, you will find this style to be so versatile in a maternity wardrobe.” Plus, ASOS makes shopping online super easy with speedy shipping and free returns. Many of the signature products, like the Bamboo Seamless No Rub Thigh Savers, come in either maternity or postpartum style. Kindred Bravely always offers a wide range of colors to match all skin tones. Just like with the brand’s non-maternity options, you’ll find hundreds of comfy yet trendy items, most below $50, that you can mix and match with items you already own. Or you can create an all-new capsule wardrobe. The options are always changing with whatever comes into style, which is nice for younger parents who don’t want to compromise their style during pregnancy. H&M also offers two-packs for many staples, like tank tops, bras, or this affordable two-pack of black bike shorts. Made to grow and move with you, Gap’s leggings come in all sorts of cute fits and patterns. The tops and sports bras are made with breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics. Many of the tops have ruching along the sides for more belly room and are designed not to chafe. Fans of Gap’s maximum coverage no-show blackout leggings will be happy to know these are also available in maternity sizes. The brand’s maternity one- and two-piece swimsuits don’t look frumpy at all. In fact, they’re trendy, structured, and fit like a dream. The suits have what the brand calls “mama-friendly features” like flattering side shirring, an empire seam, a shelf bra with built-in soft cups for support, and adjustable back straps. The colors and patterns are fun, trendy, and understated. For mix and match styles, the Maternity Cinched High Rise Bottom can be ordered alone or with a top, so you can get an exact fit. Seraphine’s three-in-one maternity parkas are designed to grow with you through your nine months and then adapt to post-birth babywearing. There’s a wide variety of styles and options like the classic parkas, a rain jacket, a casual khaki jacket, and stylish cashmere wool coats for work and nicer occasions. The brand even has a coat for Dad to wear with the baby. The Storq collection is small and curated, and most of its best-selling pieces are elevated basics and loungewear. We love the Anytime Overalls, Three-Piece Lounge Set, and Luxe Joggers. Blanqi fans love the brand’s traditional over-the-belly support leggings because they help lift and redistribute the weight of your bump and have added back support. There are also hip-height leggings for everyday wear, SportSupport leggings designed for workouts, and postpartum high-waisted leggings with gentle midsection compression to smooth and secure your post-baby belly.  The leggings, along with the rest of Blanqi’s game-changing support wear, come in mostly neutral colors like black, gray, white, and blue, so they won’t go out of style if you plan on expanding your family in the future. As you stock your closet, remember Scudder’s advice: “A black pair [of leggings] is a total must have.” You try on the clothes you receive at home, keep what you want, and send back the rest. Free shipping and returns make the process super easy. Busy parents-to-be simply take an online style quiz to get started, and your $20 stylist’s fee gets credited toward anything you decide to keep. Even better, there’s a 25% discount if you purchase your whole box. With a subscription, you pay $88 a month and have access to six styles a month. Wear those clothes all month, don’t worry about any repairs or dry cleaning, and send them back. If you happen to fall in love with an item, Nuuly makes it easy to purchase the piece. There’s no dictating what your six items have to be, so you can make them all jeans, two different sizes of tops, or one of everything. User reviews are helpful here in sharing fit details. While the clothes may not last for multiple pregnancies, if you’re in the market for some basics, this is a great source. We love that many of the options, like a maternity tank, come in a two-pack with multiple color options. PinkBlush sorts its dresses in helpful ways, making it easy to search for “evening dresses,” “photoshoot gowns,” “tall-friendly dresses,” and so much more. “Although you may only be wearing these pieces for a short time, I always recommend investing into higher-quality staple pieces you know you will be wearing on repeat, like these maternity jeans by Madewell,” Scudder tells Verywell Family. If jeans are a go-to piece for you, choose a more basic style and invest in a pair you can wear all the time. Madewell’s denim is sized based on pre-pregnancy waist measurements.

What to Look for in Maternity Clothes

Style

Pregnancy doesn’t have to come between you and your personal style. Maternity clothes are more fashionable than ever these days, so you shouldn’t have to sacrifice much or anything at all. Take a look in your own closet to determine what staple pieces you love but may need a bit more room in for your growing body. You want to feel comfortable and confident with your body during this time of change.

Budget

It’s no secret that maternity clothes can be quite pricey. There are plenty of brands on the market at varying price points. Decide on a budget and go from there when you are searching for the right retailer. To save money, look for deals on the store’s website or sign up for rewards. “Loose fitting tops and maxi dresses you already have in your closet may become your go-to’s early on in your pregnancy,” says Nicole Scudder. So before you shop, take a look in your own closet to see what may work and offer you some cost savings.

Quality

If you plan on wearing your maternity clothes for more than nine months or for subsequent pregnancies, quality is important. While higher quality may come with a larger price tag, it is a worthwhile investment if you are going to wear them for years to come. To ensure the quality of the material lasts a long time, follow the manufacturer’s cleaning recommendations. Washing the clothes differently than recommended may sacrifice the quality of the piece, especially with more delicate elastic waistbands.

Why Trust Verywell Family

Maya Polton is a former marketing manager and current freelance writer who covers food, home, and parenting. She’s also the mom of an 12-year-old son, 9-year-old son, and 5-year old daughter. Maya’s maternity wardrobe was a mix of work staples during the week and more comfy clothes on the weekend. She lived in a favorite maternity LBD and stretchy tank tops. She always ran hot during her pregnancies and had to dress in layers so she could take something off when she was hot at work (and no one else was).
