We recently discussed skinny jeans as the hot pregnancy fashion trend, thanks in part to stylish pregnant celebrities like Nicole Richie. Pregnancy Fashion reader Amanda pointed out another hot maternity trend – maternity leggings!

Maternity leggings are a great alternative to skinny jeans. Some expecting moms will find they are more comfortable than maternity jeans due their amazing stretch. As Amanda mentioned, many maternity leggings feature a full-panel only, so some moms who tend to get overheated may not like this feature.

How do you wear the maternity leggings look? Pair leggings with a long tunic top or pullover. I love this look from EverydayMaternity.com. Their Queen Mum Black Maternity Leggings (pictured) actually feature a foldable panel for those moms who don’t like the full panel.

Accessorize your leggings with a belt, worn low under your belt. For a night out, pair your leggings with heels or wear them with ballet flats for a more casuel look during the day.

Where can you buy maternity leggings? The pictured Queen Mum Leggings are based out of the UK, for those of us in the US, check out the versatile line at DestinationMaternity.com. Some stand-outs include the Secret Fit Belly Jersey Knit 5 Pocket Slim Leg Maternity Legging ($48) from A Pea in the Pod and, for those rockin’ moms, you will love the grey/white tie dye pattern of the Jersey Knit Slim Leg Maternity Leggings ($39.99), also from A Pea in the Pod.

    Hey fellow fashionista,

    Absolutely love your style. I work for a marketing team associated with HUE, and we are celebrating leggings as an essential part of a stylish wardrobe by launching a photo contest on HUE’s Facebook page on Tuesday, June 1st at noon. Fans can submit a picture rocking their favorite legging look, and we’ll send the first 20 people a free pair of HUE leggings every day for five days! Since you already have great leggings style and a picture to boot, I figured you might enjoy the giveaway.

    We’ll be showcasing these looks on our Facebook page and spurring conversation around legging do’s & don’ts, trends, etc. Would love for you to come take a look and let us know what you think!

    Here is a link to our Facebook page. Click on the picture of the leggings to enter the contest!
