MUMS-TO-BE, YOU'LL LOVE THESE MATERNITY LOOKS

Heading into the office while you’re growing a human may feel overwhelming, but the right maternity work clothes will boost your morale. Firstly, comfort is king. Stretchy, wide-leg jersey trousers are a classic mum-to-be essential, and you can pick between under or over-the-bump styles. Balance the softness with a structured top – something with pleats or directional draping is a power move. While we stock hundreds of maternity styles on site, don’t limit yourself. Slot non-maternity styles with oversized proportions into your rotation too, like a baggy blazer that’ll finish off your office outfit.

When the weather becomes too hot to handle, go back to the basics – think jersey jumpsuits or linen trousers for maximum breathability. Sundresses make a seasonal statement, too: floral prints and flutter sleeves give all the garden fairy-feels, while polka-dot dresses add retro appeal. Heading poolside? Whatever the trimester, we’ve got swimsuits with tons of stretch to accommodate – whether you’re seeking something stripey, textured or ruffled.

For those moments that call for something chicer – RSVP events, baby showers, you name it – bring out your best. Co-ords in luxe textures, draped maxi skirts in statement shades, ribbed knits that contour the bump beautifully, and denim with robust silhouettes. If you’re unwilling to wear anything other than stretch jersey (we can’t blame you – its comfort is unmatched), refine your look with accessories, instead. A well-picked pair of supersized earrings, a metallic clutch or a satin headscarf can instantly reframe a look.
