Pregnant, and trying to buy the best maternity workwear essentials to keep you looking polished throughout your pregnancy? We get it — we’ve rounded up some of the all-time best-selling pieces that readers have LOVED to help you get a great sense of what you need for your pregnancy!

(Looking for non-maternity wardrobe essentials for work? Check out our other page on our sister site, Corporette.)

This page was last updated July 2021, except where otherwise noted.

Hunting for where to buy the best plus-size maternity clothes for work?
Some of our favorite retailers include Pink Blush / Motherhood Maternity / Universal Standard / Gap / M.M.LaFleur

The Best Maternity Suits for Professional Women

It can be reallllly difficult to find a professional, classic-looking suit if you’re heavily pregnant. In fact, note that many women can wear their non-maternity blazers almost entirely until the end of their pregnancy (Kat made it to week 38!), and many more women just wear a maternity dress with a blazer for most court appearances and things like that.

STILL: if you know you have a trial, job interview, or other big professional event late in pregnancy and you know you really want a full, matching suit, these were some of the best options for maternity suiting we’ve found…

Wondering where to find interview suits if you’re pregnant? We rounded up the VERY few options for maternity suiting! Favorite brands are represented above: one / two / three

The Best Maternity Jeans for Work and Play

Pictured above, some of the best maternity jeans… 1) Madewell 2) Paige 3) Ingrid & Isabella 4) J.Brand (not pictured, but these affordable maternity jeans are some of readers’ favorites!)

The Best Bras for Nursing and Pumping

Above, some of the best bras for nursing and pumping as of 2022: 1) Bravado 2) Cake 3) Natori 4) Wacoal (not pictured but also: Elomi and Kindred Bravely!)

The Best Nursing Tanks

Looking for the best nursing camisoles and tanks? These are great for adding coverage for your belly if you lift your shirt up to nurse…

The Best Maternity Tights

Looking for the best maternity tights? You can always just go for something super stretchy — or thigh highs! — but for Kat’s $.02, she was glad she bought actual maternity tights. These are some of the best options…
