The Best Maternity Leggings Of 2021

Yoga leggings used to be just for the gym, but thanks to the likes of Lululemon, athleisure is now socially acceptable — and enviable — everyday attire. Whether it’s a work-from-home day or you’re going out for lunch with your girls, the right pair of leggings is a gal’s best friend.

That’s of course great news for all of our expecting mamas who may be on the hunt for extra comfort wherever possible. But it’s not always so easy to find the right pair of leggings to suit your bump. Here’s a question we always get asked when it comes to finding the right maternity leggings…

How do I keep my leggings from falling down?

The trick is to look for leggings with a high and wide waistband that sits flat and comfortably on your torso. Some even have adjustable drawstrings to keep them up, these are ideal if you want the same pair to get you through every trimester and beyond. Additionally, keep in mind that clothes stretch over time, and leggings are no exception. Be mindful of washing instructions to extend the life of your leggings as long as possible.

It’s also really important to a buy a pair that fits your body well. We recommend buying and trying a few to find the brand or style that suits you best so you can be comfortable at every trimester and beyond. We’ve shortlisted the best maternity leggings of 2021 so you don’t have to. From the splurge-worthy to the super affordable, we have them all.
