It’s not difficult to find comfy maternity pants during pregnancy, but it’s certainly not always easy to find ones that are comfy, flattering and stylish. I’ve tried quite a few pairs since my first pregnancy a few years ago and now during my second, and I can honestly say the following four pairs are worth the splurge to help look and feel your best as your body changes.
SPANX faux leather maternity leggings
These faux leather leggings are the maternity pants I wear the most by far. As a longtime fan of Spanx brand and their classic faux leather leggings, I had to have the maternity fit to see me through pregnancy. Even as I grow bigger by the day, these leggings have a magical way of making me feel slimmer and more confident in my changing body.
** FIT: I took my usual size XS but they fit slightly more snug than my non-maternity pair

Paige ‘Noella’ straight leg jeans
Let’s face it: finding maternity jeans you actually enjoy wearing can be nearly impossible. I’ve never fallen in love with a single pair until I found this straight leg style from Paige (shop more denim styles here). In fact, I immediately ordered the black pair! They’re the perfect length to wear with ankle boots during fall and winter, and will look fantastic with strappy sandals in warm weather.
** FIT: Slightly loose at the waist but start to fit better as the belly grows; I took my usual denim size 25

Plush fleece-lined maternity jogger
These comfy maternity joggers from Plush (shop more from the brand here) are a game changer because they’re lined with FLEECE! They’ve been my go-to lounge pant all winter since they’re so warm and cozy, but can also easily be dressed up for going out, as shown below. You can wear them pulled over the belly or folded under. If you’d like to try any of their clothing, use my code MODA25 and take 25% off your purchase (must shop directly from https://plush-apparel.com/).
** FIT: Run slightly small but have stretch; I took my usual size XS

SPANX ‘Look at Me Now’ legging
If you’ve been on the hunt for the perfect basic black maternity legging that’s flattering, comfortable and most importantly NOT see-through, this is the pair you need. It’s the legging you can wear anywhere or with anything, a definite closet staple for pregnancy. If you’re not expecting, they’re also available in regular sizes and more colors/prints here.
** FIT: True to size; I took my regular size XS
