Stunning Black Maternity Outfit Ideas To Showcase Your Bump
1.Use A Black Bumpsuit As Your Base
A classic black bumpsuit is the perfect item for your maternity capsule wardrobe. It’s flattering, will enhance your bump and is the perfect base layer for layering.
Elevate the look with a blue striped shirt as shown below. Keep it open, button it up or tie it up depending on the look you want to achieve. We adore this look!
2. Layer With Black Dungarees
Dungarees are a feel good piece of clothing. Stat. Another perfect base layer to layer as much or as little as you need.
If you want to keep the whole outfit black, opt for a top with a lace or sheer fabric like below. It adds additional interest to your look but doesn’t feel as heavy as a full black outfit would. Add some flat sneakers or ankle boots for an evening look.
3. Pair With Grey To Soften The Look
Casual wear that still makes you look and feel good. Black leggings will always be the holy grail item for maternity wear, in our opinion! They’re so versatile and easy to layer with pretty much anything.
Soften the look by adding an oversized grey hoodie and add more warmth with a black overcoat.
4. Black On Black
An all black look is stylish and sophisticated, plus it’s so easy to throw on on the days you don’t know what to wear.
Create the look with black leggings, a black jumper or long sleeved t-shirt and introduce a soft bit of color with some sandals and bag.
5. Throw On A White Shirt For A Coverup
Just because one black bumpsuit addition wasn’t enough… Okay, these bumpsuits are one of our favorites because the look can so easily be updated by changing the coverup.
This floaty white shirt adds the perfect lightweight top layer than can be left opened for a fresh, floaty look.
6. Two Pieces For Stylish Looks
Another way to take away outfit decision fatigue is to buy two pieces. The look naturally always works well and it’s so easy to chuck on.
This cute black two piece is sexy and looks amazing on your bump. We always recommend looking at non maternity clothing as you can often be pigeon holed into certain looks when it comes to maternity wear. Instead, just size up!
7. Maxi Bodycon Dress
The perfect maternity LBD doesn’t exist… There’s something about bodycon dresses that looks amazing with a bump, they’re so flattering and give the most beautiful silhouette.
Lift the look by pairing with tan details – think bag and gorgeous sandals.
8. Floaty Dress With Cardigan For Added Warmth
If a bodycon isn’t your type of style, a floaty black dress is a beautiful alternative. For cooler days, add a gorgeous cardigan for extra warmth.
Dress with black sandals to tie the look together.
9. Black Smart Workwear
Work must go on, even if you’re pregnant and there are some amazing maternity workwear outfit ideas that can help you feel well put together, and stylish.
An all black work outfit is one of our favorites. Pair a black bodycon dress with a soft black trench coat or blazer. A long length one will help to elongate your look and add a different texture against the tightness of the dress.
10. Make It More Interesting With Mesh
No one does maternity better than Billie! A perfect way to add interest to an all black dress like this is to opt for something with a little bit of added detail. A mesh or lace sleeve completely changes how the outfit looks and it can make a dress feel and look really expensive.
A Bardot style dress like this is one of the most flattering for bodies too!
11. Team With A Classic Denim Jacket
The easiest way to dress up a simple black dress is to throw on a denim jacket. Whether it’s just draped on the shoulders or you’re wearing it, the denim tones are the perfect balancer against the black.
Wear comfy flats or add some heels on for an evening out.
12. Maxi Pleated Skirt To Elongate
A maxi skirt and jumper combo will always have a place in a heart. An easy outfit to throw on, and so versatile for creating lots of different looks with different jumpers.
A black maxi skirt is definitely an item for a maternity capsule wardrobe.

14. The Perfect LBD!
Yes, an LBD is most definitely the thing you need in your capsule wardrobe. Whether it’s a bodycon, floaty or mini dress, get whatever feels the most you!
We love the chunky straps on the dress, and it’s just the perfect base layer for a gorgeous blazer or cardigan.
15. Slouchy Layers
This outfit feels like one we could live in forever. Comfort is at the top of choosing clothing when you’re dressing a bump, and this ticks all the boxes for cosiness, practicality and style.
