Let’s be honest.. Finding maternity clothes that are comfortable and cute is HARD! After four pregnancies I can finally say that I have found the best leggings (that I have been wearing this entire pregnancy)!
As a mother of four and a Newborn-Family Photographer in the Tampa Bay Area, it has been extremely important to find clothing that is comfortable, supportive, and stylish (of course!) during this pregnancy. I have culminated my top four favorite pairs of leggings that you NEED to try!
My holy grails!! The Offline by Aerie Real Me High Waisted Leggings are seriously the BEST. Although these aren’t maternity leggings per se, they provide moderate coverage, have great stretch, and have the most buttery soft material. A serious plus – the ability to wear these postpartum!
Pros: They come in short, regular, and long lengths, buttery soft material, an array of colors, affordable
Cons: Not full coverage
Overall Rating: 9.5/10
The Blanqi Everyday Maternity Belly Support Leggings are absolutely worth the splurge. Blanqi has created a new kind of maternity leggings that features seam free support to keep you secure and supported throughout all three trimesters. Aside from the tremendous support, these are extremely comfortable with soft, breathable fabric.
Pros: Supportive, full belly coverage, lots of different colors to choose from
Cons: Not the easiest to get on, pricey, not consistent sizing
Overall Rating: 8.50/10
Hands down the most comfortable – The Offline by Aerie Real Me High Waisted Crossover Leggings . These are very similar to the Real Me High Waisted Leggings, the main difference being the unique crossover waistband – a v-seam made to fit you in all the right ways. These leggings are perfect for women who don’t like over the belly leggings because these stay up without having to readjust all the time
Pros: They come in short, regular, and long lengths, buttery soft material, an array of colors, affordable
Cons: Not full coverage, no compression/support
Overall Rating: 8/10
For my Florida moms – this ones for you.. Maternity biker shorts!! These Amazon Poshdivah Maternity Over Belly Biker Shorts will be your best friend in the summer months. As a Newborn and Family Photographer in the Tampa Bay Area, it gets HOT and these have truly been a life saver while shooting outside in the warm weather. They provide moderate compression and have full over the belly coverage and best of all.. they have POCKETS. What more could you ask for??
Pros: Full coverage, moderate compression, extremely affordable, POCKETS
Cons: Sold out quite often
Overall Rating: 8/10
