The best affordable maternity clothes

Sometimes the easiest way to look and feel put together is just by throwing on an easy dress which is why we love this bump hugging knitted column dress that’s not only soft against the skin, but also a great length for dressing up or down year round. In winter, pair with some thick tights, chunky boots and baggy jumper to keep you and bump cosy in the cold. In the spring and summer season, wear with sandals and while linen shirt if you need a coverup. We also love the calming khaki shade.

No wardrobe is complete without the staple that is, the little black dress. This New Look dress is perfect for summer and is all about comfort and easy style. Lightweight and cool, it will look great with sandals on summer evenings and it will easily stretch around your bump so it's a win-win. It’s also available in a cream colour if you fancy something lighter and the comfortable thick straps will easily disguise any bra straps.

Everyone needs some staple t-shirts in their wardrobe which is why this three pack of tshirts is at the top of our must-have maternity t-shirt list. With a grey, white and black t-shirt included, these tops will make the basis of any outfit and mums loved the quality, with one saying, "got these a while back and are very good quality for the price." Whether you’re pairing them with some relaxed maternity jeans or dressing them up with some work trousers for the office, these tops will fit comfortably over your growing bump.

If you’re going on a night out with your besties or out for a fancy dinner with your other half and have nothing to wear, you’ll need a stylish number that you feel confident and comfortable in. We love this slim fitting stretchy dress with a midi length and long sleeves. The bold stripes gives this dress a real modern feel, and we think it would look great paired with some bright accessories.

A cosy sweat is a must-have for any wardrobe, especially if you're pregnant during the colder months of the year or if you need something to throw over your outfit. With a flattering design featuring side zips to accommodate your growing bump, this soft jersey striped sweatshirt will look excellent paired with jeans or smart trousers.

This super soft brushed snit fabric will make you feel comfortable and put together, whatever you're doing, fitting around your bump with ease. With a loop back fastening, it fits comfortably around the next and the wrap front fastening is super stylish and adds some extra detail. The only downside some mums found that it was a little too snug around bump, with one mum commenting, "nice but not loads of room for bump to grow." It also comes with an attached coverup layer so your cleavage won't feel as exposed.

With the comfort of leggings and style of jeans, these M&S COLLECTION Maternity Over Bump Jeggings are perfect for a plethora of outfits. The stretch for comfort, are high-waited, and, even better, they're made from breathable, cotton-rich fabric that feels great against the skin. These are another fabulous wardrobe staple. One mum was a huge fan, "These are great!" she said, "I got a size larger than I'd usually get as I read reviews saying that they were a bit small. They are perfect, comfortable around the belly, and stretchy enough on the legs."

Whether you're going away on your babymoon or regularly swimming to keep fit in your pregnancy, you'll want a good-fitting maternity swimsuit that you'll feel comfortable in. This simple black wrap design swimsuit is designed to look flattering on all shapes. We love that the straps are adjustable for your changing shape and one mum loved the fit, commenting, "I'm currently 19 weeks and will be 22 when I go away and I feel this fits well and will definitely last well into my pregnancy." It also comes with breast padding that can be removed or kept in for added support.

If you're anything like us, then you'll live in your trusty leggings, even if you aren't going to the gym, so it’s worth investing in some reliable leggings that are great for everyday wear. These from Next are designed to stretch right over bump thanks to the super stretchy and comfortable fabric which is made from 75% Recycled polyester making it a great sustainable choice.

We're loving this stylish denim midi skirt, coming in at a fantastic price. With a soft over the bump band for a comfortable fit it's ideal for dressing up or down. Featuring added stretch, it's not as restrictive as other denim so it feels extra comfortable around your bump.
