The 10 Best Maternity Leggings, According to Moms-to-Be

If you’re anything like us, you’d generally like to reupholster your entire life in Beyond Yoga’s absurdly touchable fabrics—and the brand’s maternity range is no exception. These spacedye leggings are built to grow and evolve with your body throughout pregnancy and beyond. Pro tip: Since you likely won’t ever want to take them off throughout that entire journey, we recommend picking up a few pairs.

Knix has positioned itself as the practical solution for women’s changing bodies—from periods to pregnancy and everything in between. These leggings boast built-in support for your belly and lower back, making them a go-to for achy days (and basically the entire third trimester).

Reviewers laud this “second-skin” jumpsuit for its soft fabric and flattering cut. Not to mention its outfit versatility: Layer on a sweater or jacket and some New Balances, or don it solo to pilates (or some quality time with your couch).

A hospital bag must-have, these leggings are specifically designed to support postpartum bodies with compression technology and a full-coverage waist. Perhaps most importantly: These will continue to hold their shape even as your body continues to evolve, so you won’t find yourself constantly pulling them up.

Between the six color variations, buttery soft fabric and gentle built-in support, these are destined to be a go-to for active mamas-to-be (regardless of what “active” happens to look like that day).

Whether you have a special occasion on the agenda or are just looking for daily support, this high-waisted set lifts and smooths underneath your outfit of choice. Take your pick from 9 shades—and scoop up this sculpting bodysuit while you’re at it.

As the unofficial outfitter of cool moms-to-be, Hatch has a knack for marrying form and function. These leggings are Exhibit A: The moisture-wicking bamboo fabric keeps any rubbing or dampness at bay, and the houndstooth print is sure to put these in heavy outfit rotation.

For the eco-curious, sustainability aficionados, and everyone in between, the CV of these Girlfriend leggings is hard to beat: They’re actually made from recycled fishing nets. (Not that you’d ever know it from the four-way stretch and cozy compression.)

Where do we begin—the phone-sized side pockets? The four-way stretch or antimicrobial fabric? The fold-over waistband? How about that unbelievable price tag? Believe it, baby.

Whether you’re inclined to call them “flare leggings” à la Gen Z or know them better as “yoga pants” like a true-blue millennial, the moral of the story is that whatever-you-call-them are having a moment—or maybe they never went away? Regardless, we love these for their fold-down (or up) waistband and soft-but-supportive fabric.
