Maternity Work Clothes Must-Haves and Where to Find Them
Whether you work at a casual startup, or in a traditional corporate world, your wardrobe will need updating when you're pregnant. Fortunately, women have plenty of access to great options, thanks to online shopping and an increased awareness by retailers of professional, pregnant women in the workplace.
And whether you're looking for one item in particular, or a new company to check out, our list offers something for everyone.
Maternity Blazers
Dressing up a maternity tank, tee, or blouse is easy with a classic, modern blazer. You won't break the bank, either, with these choices that all come in under $70.
Nordstrom $60 and up
Destination Maternity $50 and up
Pink Blush $30 and up
Maternity Work Blouses and Tops
Perfectly professional blouses and tops for under your blazer, sweater or cardigan, or to wear solo with slacks, jeans, or a skirt. For warmer weather, try tunics, caftans, and other breezy, light and loose styles. When it's chillier out, break out the close-fitting shirts with longer sleeves and thicker materials.

Professional Maternity Dresses
Sometimes, you just can't deal with pants digging into your waist. Try a dress where you'll have more room to breath and plenty of leg room. Dress it up (or keep warm in those overly cold offices) with a well-cut cardigan, jacket, or shawl.
Seraphine $100 and up
Amazon $20 and up
With Etsy, you'll find everything ranging from dreamy, goddess dresses (for maternity photoshoots or a more casual office), to perfectly fitted, bodycon dresses ideal for a slick work look.
Maternity Slacks and Dress Pants
When it's colder out, or you just feel like wearing pants, maternity slacks are where it's at once you outgrow those pants extenders. Fortunately, you're not relegated to dowdy styles. You'll find tailored, well-cut pants at a number of convenient online retailers, just perfect to add to your maternity capsule wardrobe.
