In a similar vein to Nike, the Adidas Maternity range is high-quality and designed to flex with your changing body through every stage of pregnancy.

From supportive yoga pants to tracksuit bottoms and hoodies which use drawstrings to highlight your beautiful bump, the Adidas maternity collection champions your team of two.

Nike first launched their maternity range back in 2020, after speaking to 30 female athletes who were both pregnant and not pregnant – and scanning over 150,000 scans of expectant mother’s bodies. They dropped a four-piece collection designed for women throughout all stages of pregnancy, including sports bras, the best maternity leggings, hoodies and a tank top. Since then, they’ve expanded their maternity offering tenfold, and you’ll find a range of performance-led styles to work out (and lounge) in during from the first trimester until after your baby arrives. So. Good.

Mamas-to-be the country over rave about GAP maternity clothes, with reviewers obsessed with their high-quality and accessible price point. Though some reviewers reported that you should size-up in some styles to accommodate your changing body shape and growing bump, you’ll be spoiled for choice. Make sure you filter by category like activewear, nursing bras, sweaters or tees and more. The star of the show? Their epic denim maternity dungarees. All the best-laid plans of only rocking non-maternity clothes tend to go out of the window by six months, but the joy of a jumpsuit or maternity overalls is that it’s one piece and you’re done.
The premise of this maternity brand is to create clothes you can wear beyond pregnancy and their quirky style suits cool mamas-to-be. We love the selection of printed jumpsuits that will become your go-to-pieces all pregnancy long – and beyond.

Bump & Milk was founded by Alex, a mum to two boys who has experienced every high and low of new motherhood. She wanted to create a maternity brand which was the opposite of the frumpy smock and breastfeeding cliché – stocking chic, long maternity dresses to breastfeeding hoodies and everything in between. They’re all about confident style that feels like “you” and will work postpartum too.
What month should you start wearing maternity clothes?
This is entirely your call: you could start wearing the above stylish maternity clothes when you no longer feel comfortable in your normal outfits, even if that’s in your first trimester. Generally, most pregnant women will begin wearing maternity clothes when their regular ‘fits feel tight, which might be a few weeks into their second trimester – perhaps around 13-16 weeks onwards. But don’t forget, your maternity style is totally down to you.
Should I size up in maternity clothes? Or do you buy the same size in maternity clothes?
Your maternity size is likely to be around the same size as you were pre-pregnancy – most brands recommend choosing the same size in maternity pieces. So, if you wore a size 10 in jeans pre-baby, you’ll probably be fine to wear a size 10 in maternity jeans when you’re expecting. Of course, it’s a bit of trial and error – but maternity sizes are generally the same as non-maternity sizes, just with extra panels or adjustment to fit around your bump and growing baby.
