The 19 Best Places to Buy Maternity Clothes in 2023

Best Overall

Ingrid & Isabel

5

View On Ingridandisabel.com

Ingrid & Isabel tops our list thanks to its variety of everyday pieces you can add to your wardrobe, including jeans, dresses, undergarments, and more. For Ingrid & Isabel, it all started with the Belly Band, a maternity band worn over unbuttoned or unzipped jeans, pants, skirts, and shorts. The band keeps your pants in place and your belly smooth and supported. 

Since then, the brand has grown to include all the basics: leggings, camis, support wear, T-shirts, dresses, denim, and more. The pieces are simple yet stylish and well-made. It’s a one-stop shop for modern parents-to-be. "Some of my favorite work pants and dresses came from Ingrid & Isabel. The fabrics held up well and stretched with my body, and I felt like the investment was worth it since the clothes didn't wear and tear, says Lauren Levinson, Editorial Director, Verywell Family.

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.

View On Asos

Just because you’re pregnant doesn’t mean you don’t want to be on-trend. Luckily, ASOS has a ton of fashion-forward pieces in its maternity section at budget-friendly prices. Don't worry about being limited to outdated patterns and bland neutrals: The site offers fun dresses, rompers, tops, loungewear, basics, and more.

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.

A Pea In The Pod

View On Apeainthepod.com

The unofficial home of designer maternity wear through the first trimester and on, A Pea in the Pod is a great place to shop for flattering styles at any stage of your pregnancy, including postpartum. If your budget is higher, you can shop fashion-forward brands like Frame, Citizens of Humanity, Splendid, and Paige. The retailer even has a designer denim section, which features leading denim brands’ maternity offerings.

A Pea in the Pod is the place to go for investment pieces. "Even though it's pricier, I bought a lot of staples at A Pea in the Pod during my pregnancy," says Levinson. "I lived in all of them from pregnancy through postpartum." A Pea in the Pod also makes it easy to search for favorite designers, and now there’s no maternity filter needed! We also love how they helpfully categorize the site for specific needs like “Trending,” “Baby Shower Dresses,” and “Luxe Deals.”

Best for Undergarments

Kindred Bravely

View On Kindredbravely.com

Kindred Bravely touts itself as a company selling clothes “designed by moms for moms,” and it shows, especially in its wide-ranging option of undergarments. Not only does it sell maternity and postpartum bras and underwear, but it also has a number of various lines of both items. These include Signature Cotton underwear, Grow With Me briefs and undershirts, and leak-proof underwear. The hands-free pumping and nursing bras are also a big hit postpartum.

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.

Best Affordable

H&M

View On Hm.com

If you’re looking for comfort and style but don’t want to spend a lot on clothes you’ll only wear for six months, H&M has everything you need at the right price.

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.

Best Pajamas

Lake Pajamas

View On Lakepajamas.com

Known for their 100% Peruvian Pima cotton loungewear, Lake Pajamas offers luxuriously cozy PJs, a must-have when you're expecting. Their maternity pajama sets come in different lengths—long sleeves and pants, long sleeves and shorts, short sleeves and pants, and short sleeves and shorts—so you can find a pair no matter the climate you live in and how cool you run.

We love the Pima Maternity Sophia Nightgown in Coral for a warm summer night or the Pima Maternity Long-Long Set in Hydrangea for cooler weather (or your air-conditioned home). These comfy pajamas would be great for your hospital bag or postpartum.

The brand also sells pajamas for kids, including Mommy & Me sets, so there are options for after your little one arrives, too.

Best for Activewear

GapFit

View On Gap.com

Most doctors recommend exercise during pregnancy, but finding the right workout clothes for a growing belly isn’t always easy. Gap’s activewear line GapFit has many options in its maternity section, and they’re perfect for pregnant people who want to keep up with their active lifestyles without feeling restricted. 

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. For a pair of leggings that are breathable but still hug your bump, we like the Gap Maternity Everyday Cotton Legging, and fans of Gap’s maximum coverage no-show blackout leggings will be happy to know that the brand offers an under-belly maternity version.

If you're looking to keep your bump warm during winter or simply want a cute knit sundress, Hatch has you covered with its high-quality knitwear. The knitwear collection includes nursing sweaters, knit dresses, cardigans, and more—we particularly love the Sima Ribbed Knit Dress for a date night look and the Knit Onesie to wear while decorating the nursery or hanging around the house in style.

Beyond knitwear, Hatch offers denim, athleisure, nursing clothes, and even pregnancy-safe beauty products. Plus, the website is helpfully divided up so you can shop by trimester and find the best fit for you.

Summersalt

View On Summersalt.com

Summersalt isn’t a maternity-specific brand, but the company's flattering swimwear put it on the map, and now the line includes pieces adapted for pregnant people. 

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.

Best Variety

Nordstrom

View On Nordstrom

Nordstrom's maternity section is a one-stop shop for expecting parents. The popular retailer offers everything from loungewear to denim to dresses. You can also shop for a variety of nursing clothes, like nursing bras and tank tops, if you plan to breastfeed. For a versatile dress that's available in a range of sizes, we love the Maternity/Nursing Knit Dress from Angel Maternity. Nordstrom also carries lots of items that support the belly, like these Belly Bandit Bump Support Leggings.

Bonus: Nordstrom offers free basic alterations to members of the Nordy Club rewards program (free to join!), which can help you save money on maternity clothes as your body changes during pregnancy and postpartum.

Best Loungewear

Storq

View On Storq.com

Storq came onto the scene with a simple mission—to make maternity and nursing clothes for modern parents who don’t want to trade in their style for nine months. Nothing it sells is overcomplicated, but the higher prices reflect a commitment to better fits and quality fabrics.

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 Cozy Rib Day to Night Pant.

Best for Leggings

Blanqi

View On Blanqi.com

Aside from round-the-clock comfort, support for your growing belly and body is key when shopping for maternity clothes. Blanqi’s line of support wear is tailored for maternity, postpartum, and beyond—and its leggings are long-time best sellers for a reason. All styles have built-in seamless support, light compression, and breathable, moisture-wicking fabric. 

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.”

It’s no surprise that Amazon Essentials has created a nice line of maternity wardrobe staples. While the mega-retailer may not stand out in the exciting fashion category, it sure is useful. Inexpensive, with fast and free shipping for orders above $25 (or all free for Prime members), and free returns, Amazon makes it easy to stock up on essentials and get them quickly.

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.
