I. Everyday Comfort & Style
For those days when you need both comfort and practicality.
1. Maternity Ponte Leggings & Oversized Sweater
Invest in high-quality maternity ponte leggings with a full-panel waistband. Pair them with an oversized chunky knit sweater that comfortably drapes over your bump. This combination feels like heaven but looks put-together for running errands or casual outings.

A maternity wrap dress is a superstar piece that flatters your changing figure throughout pregnancy. The adjustable fit accommodates your growing bump, while the V-neckline is universally flattering. Choose one in a fall-friendly fabric like jersey with long sleeves.

A stretchy maternity midi skirt with an elasticated waistband provides comfort and style. Pair it with a fitted knit top that shows off your bump beautifully. Add a long cardigan for extra warmth and coverage.
4. Maternity Jeans & Empire Waist Top
A good pair of full-panel maternity jeans is worth every penny. Pair them with an empire waist top that flows over your bump. This classic combination works for almost any casual occasion throughout your pregnancy.

Your favorite denim jacket (or a maternity-specific one with extra room) is perfect for fall. Layer it over maternity dresses and tunics for a casual, stylish look that provides just the right amount of warmth.
7. Plaid Shirt & Leggings
A button-down plaid shirt worn open over a solid-colored maternity tee and leggings creates a comfortable, seasonal look. You can leave it unbuttoned throughout your pregnancy without fit issues.
8. Maternity Blazer & Dress Pants
For work or dressier occasions, a maternity blazer with strategic seaming accommodates your bump while maintaining professionalism. Pair with maternity dress pants for a polished look.
III. Special Occasion & Dressy Looks
For those moments when you want to feel extra special.

A side-ruched maternity dress is designed to highlight your bump beautifully. Choose one in a rich fall color like burgundy or emerald with three-quarter length sleeves. This style is perfect for baby showers or fall weddings.

A flowing maxi dress with an empire waist provides comfort and elegance. The high waistline sits comfortably above your bump while the flowy fabric creates a graceful silhouette.

Emily’s Pro Tips for Plus Size Maternity Style
Invest in Key Maternity Basics
Rather than buying an entirely new wardrobe, focus on a few quality maternity staples like leggings, jeans, and a couple of great tops that you can mix and match with your existing pieces.
Embrace Your Bump

Look for fabrics with plenty of stretch, supportive waistbands, and designs that accommodate your changing shape. Your comfort is essential during this special time.
Think Beyond Pregnancy
Choose pieces that will work for postpartum recovery and nursing if you plan to breastfeed. Wrap styles, button-front tops, and stretchy dresses often transition well.
