A hip pair of maternity jeans should be a staple in every pregnant mama’s wardrobe. Trust me, you will wear them throughout your pregnancy and into those first post-partum weeks as well. What should you look for when buying maternity jeans?
Top 5 tips for buying maternity jeans
1. Panel: You have three choices when it comes to the belly panel, and it is definitely a personal preference. Try on a variety of jeans to decide if a full panel, mid-panel or underbelly fit is most comfortable for you.
2. Cut: Boot-cut jeans are always the most flattering cut on a pregnant woman. The height at the bottom balances out your growing midsection. I don’t care how “in” it is, tapered-leg jeans are never flattering on a pregnant body.
3. Stretch: Look for jeans that are labeled “stretch” denim for little extra give that feels oh-so-good.
4. Wash: Dark-wash jeans are a little dressier, whereas jeans with a lighter wash or “rough” edges are more casual. You also have the option of white jeans or colored jeans – you decide what will work best for you. When in doubt, go for a dark wash jean for their slimming and lengthening properties.
5. The right fit: Sit down in your jeans when you are trying them on to ensure they will be comfortable. There is nothing worse than getting through the day in too-tight jeans.
