FOR ALL AGES
Finding the right pair of trousers when pregnant can be a difficult and stressful task.
Why force yourself into a tight pair of trousers when there's a wonderful, comfortable pair of maternity trousers out there for you? Maternity trousers come in a range of styles, designs and price ranges and will leave you looking good and feeling unrestricted during your pregnancy.
From maternity trousers that will let you lounge on the couch in comfort to sleek black tailored pants for special events, the world of maternity wear has got the perfect pair of trousers to suit the needs of every mum-to-be.
Maternity trousers, like maternity jeans, generally come in three styles, under the bump, over the bump and trousers with side panels that stretch to accommodate your growing bump. The type you choose will depend on personal preference and the level of security or flexibility you are looking for. Over the bump trousers have a band that sits over your belly to give you added security and support. Under the bump trousers sit below your growing tummy and will keep you feeling cool and less restricted. Trousers with adjustable side panels give you the control to ensure they fit perfectly. Regardless of the design, the best maternity trousers will be super comfortable, grow with your bump and be stylish and flexible enough to wear throughout your whole pregnancy and even once your baby is born.
The best time to buy maternity trousers is when your current trousers no longer fit or are starting to feel uncomfortable. If you feel restricted when you sit down in your current trousers or have trouble buttoning them up, then it might be time to consider one of the great options on our list. Whether you're a working mum-to-be or have a runway level fashion sense to maintain, there are a huge range of maternity pants available to meet your needs.
