Here at Motherhood, we understand the importance of maintaining your personal style while accommodating your growing baby bump. It's true that your body is undergoing some fantastic changes — and so should your wardrobe.
But fear not! Embracing maternity fashion can be a wonderful journey filled with comfort, flair, and oh-so-much fun. Today, we're diving into 10 casual maternity styles that are perfect for everyday wear.
1. Leggings
Let's kick things off with a fan-favorite: leggings. Trust us — maternity leggings will quickly become your new best friend. Not only are they ultra-comfy, but they also offer fantastic versatility.
Pair our Essential Stretch Secret Fit Belly Maternity Leggings with a cozy sweater for a lunch date, or throw on a long tunic for a laid-back day at home. Plus, they're designed to grow with you, making them a perfect fit throughout your pregnancy journey.
2. Joggers
Moving on to the indisputable king of casual coziness — joggers. These aren't your ordinary maternity pants; they perfectly harmonize style and relaxation, elevating your daily outfit game.
Our maternity joggers come with a specially designed waistband to fit your growing belly comfortably, making them the perfect choice whether you're checking off your to-do list or spending a relaxed day indoors. Pair them with a trendy oversized tee for an afternoon coffee run, or team them with a soft, chunky knit for a cozy evening at home.
3. Jeans
For the denim lovers out there, maternity jeans are a game-changer. Embrace the stretchy waistbands and roomy fits that accommodate your bump while preserving your chic, casual style. After all, just because you're expecting doesn't mean you need to abandon your favorite denim.
Try pairing our Basic Secret Fit Maternity Jeans with a flowy boho top for a casual stroll around town, or combine them with a chic blazer for a polished brunch look. Our maternity denim provides all the style and versatility of your favorite pair with the added comfort required for this extraordinary phase of your life.
4. Maxi Dress
Now, let's talk about maternity dresses. For an effortless blend of comfort and style, the maternity maxi dress is a winning choice for many expectant mothers. Its flowing design not only beautifully accommodates your growing bump but also offers a relaxed yet sophisticated style. For instance, consider a piece like our long-sleeveTiered Maxi Maternity Dress.
Perfect for sunny days and baby showers, its lightweight, tiered design radiates a playful elegance that can effortlessly transition from pregnancy to postpartum, keeping you chic throughout your motherhood journey.
5. Midi Dress
If you're looking for a dress that strikes a balance between casual and dressy, a midi dress is your answer. Falling anywhere from just below the knee to mid-calf, midi dresses provide a touch of elegance while still offering room for movement.
Our Rib Midi Maternity Dress contours beautifully to your bump, giving you a stylish bodycon silhouette while maintaining the utmost comfort. Dress it up with heels for a brunch date, or go for a laid-back look with your favorite sneakers.
6. Jumpsuits
Leaping into the casual yet chic sphere, we have maternity jumpsuits. With just one piece, you've got a stylish, cohesive look — no stress over coordinating tops and bottoms!

Who doesn't love a good cardigan? This ever-versatile wardrobe staple takes on an even more critical role during pregnancy. Maternity cardigans offer the perfect blend of warmth, style, and comfort.
