19 Summer Maternity Outfit Ideas: Comfy, Stylish Looks For Bump
1. A Classic Shirts & Skirt Combo
A classic white shirt and skirt or trouser combo in our eyes, is always a good idea.
We love this neutral look, pull the skirt up slightly higher so it covers the bump and tie the shirt as demonstrated in the picture below so you don’t have excess shirt fabric hanging around the skirt.
Finish with sneakers, flats or a gorgeous pair of sandals.
2. Be Pretty In Pink
Don’t shy away from color during pregnancy, it’s a great way to show your personality and show off that gorgeous bump!
A bodycon dress is aways a popular look for pregnancy as it adds support and creates a beautiful silhouette. Be brave and go for a hot pink number in the summer, it looks fab with a tan and flat shoes.
3. A Floaty, Casual Midi Dress
If you don’t like being restricted in bodycon dresses, a floaty casual midi dress like this is a great alternative. It’s just something about summer fashion that’s so easy to execute in this one and done style of dressing.
There’s enough to think about when it comes to preparing for baby, and this will make that morning outfit conundrum that bit easier.
4. Introduce Stripes To Your Outfit To Elongate
Incorporate stripes into your summer outfit and reap the benefits that they can bring to an outfit. Vertical stripes will draw the eye up or down, elongating the body. They look fab as horizontal stripes across a bump too.
5. Go Wild With Animal Print
Make a statement with a fun animal print like leopard print. Choose it in a classic midi dress design which will skim bump and keep you comfortable. Combine with some gorgeous flats to help those feet out during the height of summer!
6. Pair A Bodycon Skirt With A Basic Tee
If the idea of just wearing a bodycon doesn’t feel comfortable to you, simply add a basic tee over the top which will give you extra coverage and add a gorgeous pop of color to your outfit.
7. Maternity Wear Can Still Include Denim Shorts
Shorts definitely aren’t off the cards for maternity wear, just ensure they have a comfy elasticated waistband so you and bump can breathe. Denim shorts are a staple item for summer as they work so well with a range of tops. We love this combo with a striped midi length top, simple and classic.
8. Keep It Cool With Short Dungarees
Dungarees are such a cool look for maternity wear, and another super easy outfit to just throw on with a tee or lightweight jumper.
Pair with some ankle boots as shown below for a really cool take on this outfit.
9. Elevate Your Look With Knee High Boots
Whether it’s a summer baby shower or you’re hitting the town with friends, you might want to look slightly more glam.
It’s all in the detail, and these knee high boots finish the look off beautifully. Stylish, classy and comfy to wear too.
10. A Jumpsuit = Ultimate Comfort
Those easy summer maternity outfit ideas just keep coming. An all in one jumpsuit is easy to chuck on, looks amazing and will keep you cool and comfortable.
Take inspiration from the below and add some stylish sandals with a bamboo bag for a rustic touch.
11. Recreate A Sporty, Casual Look
You can’t beat a sporty casual look for those super hot days. Combine a midi dress, add a cap and some sneakers for all day comfort. Pack a lightweight jacket or denim jacket for those cooler evenings.
12. A Floaty Maxi Dress Is Perfect For Keeping Cool & Stylish
Another fail safe maternity outfit idea for summer is a floaty maxi dress, we just love their versatility. Either opt for a maternity version or size up in standard sizes as you often get much more choice of styles.
13. Dress In A Flirty Floral Print
How gorgeous is this look with bump? A floral print is a popular choice during the summer months, it’s feminine, pretty and brings color to an outfit.
Finish the styling with a hat and some comfy flats.
14. Dress Up Jeans For An Evening Out
For those cooler evenings, maternity jeans are a great choice. Dress them up for an evening affair with some heels, gorgeous jewellery and a beautiful top.
We just love this denim and mustard color combination!
15. Floaty Trousers For The Win
If you’re not a fan of skirts, floaty trousers are a great alternative. Top with a plain white tee for a classic summer look that will keep you cool.
Style with a tote bag and some timeless flat sandals that can be used beyond maternity wear.
16. Pair Flats With A Cute Mini Dress
Mini dresses can still be worn stylishly throughout pregnancy, and if it’s super hot you’ll be thanking yourself for having one of these in your wardrobe. The ruffle detail on the bust adds beautiful texture to the drape of the dress.
17. Be Stylish In A Strappy Jumpsuit
There’s so many different styles of jumpsuits on the market, but this strappy number is a firm favorite. It incorporates a mix of stripes and florals for a perfectly on-trend look for summer.
18. Layer A Denim Shirt For Those Cooler Evenings
Whether it’s chilly mornings or cooler evenings, you still need some layers to hand for summer maternity wear, but you don’t need to over engineer it.
A classic denim shirt makes for the perfect cover up, easy to throw on and lightweight enough that you can use it through other seasons too.
19. A Slit Maxi Dress For Added Shape
Wear a maxi dress, but opt for one with a slit down the side. It breaks up the monotony of the fabric and adds so much more visual interest than a straight down design.
Layer with a denim jacket for a stylish cover up that will keep you warm during the cooler summer days.
