The best maternity clothes in the UK 2024 (2024)

Buying Options:

Whether you want an everyday basic or something a bit special, Seraphine’s maternity range is a popular pick among BabyCentre parents-to-be.

Kate Middleton apparently wore their skinny jeans and maternity coats while pregnant. But it’s not only royalty who love what Seraphine has to offer. Their well-fitting clothes are a big part of the appeal. One mum-to-be said the Seraphine jeans just “fit so well”, which is especially important when your body is changing through pregnancy.

They aren’t the cheapest clothing range on the market, but the high quality shines through. Many items, such as the tops, bras or maternity dresses, all last during those early postnatal months, and some are also designed to work if you’re breastfeeding.

They also sell skin-to-skin clothing, designed so you can hold your little one close (with some items designed for men too).

BabyCentre parents say

"Seraphine for almost everything. They have a good range of smart and casual wear and the patterns are different to only having Breton stripes! The quality is great too."

"My favourite is Seraphine. More expensive but much higher quality and so many items double up for nursing. The hoodies with hidden zips are so soft and comfy."

"I love their long summer dresses and will carry on wearing them even next summer."

"The clothes are comfy for breastfeeding and they gives you a good shape. They have the best nursing bras too."

Buying Options:

H&M is a popular choice among BabyCentre mums-to-be for everyday wear. The MAMA range offers a lot of key items for your wardrobe – leggings, knitwear, vests, jeans and tops – all in plain colours so they mix and match with everything.

If you need a go-to T-shirt then H&M is a good starting point. Not only that, but nothing in their MAMA range is going to cost very much either, with everything reasonably priced (including great sale items).

They always stock the classics too, so if you want maternity dungarees or a striped Breton top, then you’ll be able to find one in their range.

Another benefit of H&M is that many of their stores include the maternity range, so you can try on that jumper you've seen online before buying it.

BabyCentre parents say

"Good quality and they have sales quite often. I think I only paid full price for sweatpants (and it was worth it, they are my favourite and I still wear them). My only criticism is the small choice of colours."

"Good value for money, comfy, decent selection of clothes made with cotton only, as the other brands are usually overpriced and made with synthetic materials."

"I wore a lot of H&M maternity stuff. They're good for versatile basics. Baggy blouses, T-shirts and nursing base layers."

"I still wear almost all my maternity wear now, 10 months after having my baby, because they are so, so comfortable! Comfortable clothing, decent quality and their maternity tops were good for breastfeeding. They weren't obviously nursing tops, but still offered comfortable, discrete feeding for out and about."

Buying Options:

If there’s one item you won’t regret buying it’s maternity leggings. Not only are they great through pregnancy, they’re perfect postpartum too – especially if you’ve had a c-section.

Our Community parents say the Lovall (formerly known as Love Leggings) are the best option you can choose. There are full length or crop and they’re sized as either petite, tall or regular. With so many options there really is one that will be your perfect match.

There’s also a wide variety of colours if you don’t just want black, and they even tell you what level of support the leggings will give you and how breathable they’ll be.

Many parents say they only buy the Lovall now – a brand which also offers jeans, trousers and tights in their maternity range!

BabyCentre parents say

"I lived in maternity leggings from Lovall."

"Their leggings are perfect!"

"Someone mentioned Lovall online - they’re brilliant!"

Buying Options:

With every item priced under £70, shopping for clothes at New Look will work whatever your budget or maternity style.

Their stylish pregnancy clothing range includes everything from day-to-day basics, tees and swimsuits to special occasion maternity dresses.

Parents-to-be love the price and the designs available. And you can shop in store as well as online.

BabyCentre parents say

"Really cheap and perfect fit!"

"There's lots of choice, it's fashionable, good quality, fits well and is reasonably priced. So far I have bought dresses, tops and tights."

"The fleece-lined leggings from New Look are a great bargain. Super warm and pull up over your baby bump, just make sure you buy a bigger size as they come up small."

Buying Options:

Can’t find exactly what you want? Well you will on Boohoo as they have one of the largest ranges of maternity clothes on the market.

Whatever your pregnancy style, whether it's loungewear all the way, or maternity fashion is crucial, you’re bound to find something that will appeal on the maternity fashion section of their site.

BabyCentre mums-to-be also love the value-for-money their clothes offer while also having a wide range of patterns and designs. So whether you want a casual plain cardigan or a blazer for work, Boohoo will have something for you.

BabyCentre parents say

"Cheap and cheerful for the amount of time you wear them. Definitely my go to!"

"My sister-in-law bought me some bits from Boohoo that were so lovely. I think I'll wear them even without being pregnant!"

"I loved Boohoo for the variety and choice. They have maternity wear for literally any and every occasion! Their maternity leggings were my favourite as they were nice and thick, not see-through. They're also comfortable and stretchy, so they accommodate more than just a growing bump! I wear them almost every day."
