The great jean debate

Skinny, straight, boot cut, boyfriend or wide? With jeans dominating our wardrobe as much as they do, picking the right pair when pregnant is a daunting task. It is also often also one of the most expensive purchases. Factor in the weather for 9 months and an unpredictable expansion of your waist (not to mention thighs and rear end) and you might want to skip denim all together.

The general rule of thumb with jeans - as with all maternity clothing - is don't dress out of character and don't lose sight of your own personal style. It will help you feel grounded when so much else is changing in your life.

Ok, so pep talk aside, the current trend is definitely on the skinny side. Some pregnant women will look at us with a distinct look of horror when we suggest trying on a skinny jean. We understand. But here's the skinny on the skinny - when you balance a skinny leg with an abundance of curves elsewhere the effect is a knock out.

Our best selling jean by far currently is the Maternal America skinny jean (pictured). If you're on the fence about getting a skinny jean, we have found that this jean is a great option. The fit (not skin tight), comfort (stretch and super soft underbelly waist band) and price ($104) make for a great combination.

Not convinced. Don't worry - we've got straight, boot cut, boyfriend and wide leg too!
