Finding a pair of jeans that fits just right is hard enough – add pregnancy to the mix and you could be letting yourself in for a lot of disappointment. The good news is that many leading manufacturers have started making trendy, fashionable jeans that will fit all the way through your pregnancy, without making you look (and feel) like a beached whale.
Some of the most popular ordinary brands and shops offering maternity jeans include: Red Herring, Levi’s, Next and Dorothy Perkins.
There are a number of clothing labels that specialise in making clothes for pregnant ladies. Ultra chic French label Formes offer excellent, stylish jeans for expecting mums. The hipster-style maternity jeans are different to many others you’ll find, the integrated belt conceals a stretch bandeau that will easily accommodate even the biggest bump. Bloomin’ Marvellous have an extensive collection of maternity trousers, including carpenter jeans, boot cut jeans, and stretch denim jeans with turn ups. Online maternity retailer funmum.com offer great value for money with versatile twists on many of the most popular jeans. Also offering a fashionable twist on boring maternity wear is Jo-Jo Maman Bébé, whose patchwork maternity jeans are particularly popular.
When you’re shopping for maternity jeans online, it’s exceptionally important to be sure you’re getting the right sort of thing – you want the right style, but it’s equally important to get a pair of jeans that are flexible, functional and above all else, comfortable enough to wear for the duration of your pregnancy. Maternity jeans aren’t really any more expensive than any other pair of jeans you might consider buying, but some people do find them pricey, given that you’re unlikely to wear them for long once you’ve had your baby.
Because of the expense, look for maternity jeans with expandable panels, flexible sides and other options for ‘adjustment’. What’s more, when shopping for maternity jeans online, look for retailers with flexible return policies and seek out jeans you can try on locally before purchasing.© Designer Jeans.org.uk 2006
