One of the more fun things about dressing during your pregnancy is that you're pregnant for such a short period of time (it goes fast — believe me!) So, go wild, get that trendy pair of jeans, and go for the weird dress that you know will look so uncool in a few seasons. This is the time to experiment with your style, because who would dare question what a pregnant person is wearing?

I spoke to fellow moms, read through all of the hottest denim trends, and even spoke to denim manufacturers to find the absolute best maternity jeans available right now. I selected maternity jeans for every occasion, from the office to date night to brunch with friends. See below for the best maternity jeans, and get ready to step up your cool mom vibe.

Re:Denim Over the Bump Ankle Straight-Leg

We have finally reached a point in denim where the skinny fit no longer reigns supreme, and I, for one, couldn’t be happier. These jeans are ankle-cut, straight fit, and over-the-belly, and the cotton-spandex blend makes them comfy.

They're slightly distressed, but would look right at home with a band tee or a blazer because the cut is so refined.

Mid-Rise Under-Belly Vintage Straight Maternity Jeans

One of the frustrating things about all things maternity is that so many of the brands absolutely suck at being size-inclusive. Thankfully, these Ingrid and Isabel for Target jeans come in an extended size range that doesn't compromise quality — all at an affordable price.

This pair is under the belly with side stretch that can be worn all 9 months of your pregnancy and beyond. It's simply gorgeous.

Ripped Boyfriend Maternity Jeans

There's something magical about a good pair of boyfriend jeans. They're effortlessly chic, comfortable, and darn if they don't look good with just about anything up top. This over-the-bump pair, recommended to me by a woman who is currently "I am tired of being pregnant" far along, swears they're the most comfortable pair in her arsenal.

The Over The Bump Straight Maternity Jean

Quality and style are what Hatch Maternity is known for. These over-the-bump jeans are truly exceptional. The cotton-bamboo-spandex blend is breathable, stretchy, and softer than many jeans I've felt. They're also so well-built that you can wear them through several pregnancies and still sell them on Poshmark.

Maternity Front-Low Panel Distressed Flare Jeans

Tall people have a hard time finding any jeans long enough, but maternity jeans are an even bigger problem. (As someone kissing 6-feet tall, I know of what I speak.) Another super-tall mama recommended these to me, saying that the long size are actually long, and the wash and wear, under-the-bump style is like loungewear in denim

Maternity True Waistband Full Panel

One irritating thing about most maternity jeans is that they have no real waistband. If your shirt rises up a little? Boom! Belly out. These jeans from the Gap have a real waistband and an over-the-belly panel to keep it up. Is the waistband false? Sure, but it looks good.

Butter Slim Straight Leg Maternity Jeans in Queue

You could wear these to work, out on the town, or just to the grocery store and they'd fit in. One mom-to-be told me that these under-the-bump jeans feel the most like regular jeans to her in fit and quality. She wears them often to work under a sweater or a blazer and tee.

MAMA Mom Loose Ankle Jeans

Check out that waistband. It's elasticized on the sides and back with a flat front. They hit just below the ankle with a loose fit. All together? They're on-point style wise, and on-point for comfort. They're not going to overwhelm you with fabric, but you won't have to be pulling them up all the time either.

Denim Maternity Overalls in Med Wash

Our own Deputy Editor, Joana Mascioli, swears by these overalls. As one of the most-stylish pregnant women I've had the pleasure to know, I trust her judgement. Given that she was chasing a 1-year old during her last pregnancy, they had to be pretty dang comfortable as well.

Maternity Full Panel OG Loose Jeans

Oh loose jeans, welcome back, my sweet, sweet teen-years friend. And Old Navy does these jeans right. They're just the right amount of baggy to be fun and comfy, but not so much that they dissolve any appearance of curves or a booty. Solid jeans for under $60.
