Whether you’re worried about loosing your personal style, or just need a starting point when it comes to what maternity clothing to buy. This PLT post will have you covered with everything you need in your maternity wardrobe.
Long gone are the days of struggling to find fashionable maternity outfits, here at PrettyLittleThing we have you mamas-to-be covered.
From maternity cargo trousers to everyday basics such as bodysuits, leggings and jeans.
No matter your maternity vibe, these looks will have you feeling as comfortable and confident as can be.
So, let’s get into it… What month do you start wearing maternity clothes?
Whilst this all depends on your individual pregnancy most tend to wear their normal clothes for the first trimester (3 months), although you may need to size up slightly.
From then, it’s a good idea to start with just a few maternity staples and slowly add to your maternity wardrobe throughout your pregnancy.
This is mainly as your body will continue to grow and change so by staggering out your maternity buys, you’ll be able to make comfort a priority.
When you start wearing maternity clothing will also depend on when you announce your exciting news. Once ready, get set to show off that bump!
Unsure where to start? We got you.
Here’s our top five maternity must-haves:
Black maternity leggings.
We can confirm these are going to become your everyday go-to.
Maternity jeans.
Denim is a forever must-have so why would it be any different when pregnant?
Oversized tops and sweatshirts.
Opt for neutrals colours you can restyle and rewear repeatedly.
Maternity dresses.
The options are endless meaning you’ll have no trouble in finding a maternity dress to suit your style or the season.
Maternity underwear.
This needs to be breathable, soft and supportive.
Now essentials are covered, let’s answer some of the most search questions when it comes to maternity clothing.
When should I start wearing maternity jeans?
Similar to the above, this will depend on your personal pregnancy however it’s good to have at least one pair of maternity jeans for when you’re ready.
Knowing when to start wearing them will be down to your comfort levels, why not start by simply undoing the top button of your regular go-to jeans and use the classic hairband hack to add a inch or two? Once this starts to feel a bit tight, switch to maternity trousers or jeans.

What are the best maternity leggings?
This depends on what you’re wanting from your maternity leggings.
Is it compression for extra support and comfort whilst moving? Or, a more relaxed fit to lounge in?
Maternity leggings should feel supportive but never too tight or restrictive, this applies to both under-the-bump and over-the-bump leggings.
Not only are maternity leggings perfect for daily dressing, comfort levels are confirmed as they tend to adapt as and when your body changes.
