10 Amazing Fall Maternity Fashion Trends
The blistering heat of summer is almost over, which means the crisp air of fall is almost here. And all the pregnant women said, ‘Amen!’ Here come cozier temperatures, s’mores around the bonfire, and hot chocolate.
More importantly, you can finally wrap that growing bump in comfort without feeling like you’ve stepped into an oven. Obviously, you still want to feel as cute as possible this season, so we’ve listed the top ten fall trends for pregnant women.
1 Asymmetrical hemlines
Lucky for you, the high-low look is still everywhere this year. I love this easy-breezy look and your bump will love it even more. With a shorter hemline in the front, your tummy can rest a little easier and have more room to breathe. Pair it with leggings and booties to be comfortable and stylish all day long.
2 Chunky accessories
Do you want to dry eyes away from your stomach for a change? You can try to distract gawkers with a flashy bold necklace. It is worth a try, right? Try a thick gold chain or even a bright statement piece to dress up a casual look. This is a fall maternity trend that can help your whole outfit feel more pulled together so definitely put it to use on those days that you just don’t want to try too hard.
3 Wrap your bump in a belt
Do you feel like your waistline has disappeared? I totally get it! Create the illusion of a waist by wrapping a thin belt over your dress or cardigan just above your belly. This will bring your sides in a little and really showcase that lovely bump! Just make sure it is not so snug that you lose your already dwindling oxygen supply.
4 Head-to-toe black
I understand that there are days you are just going to want to conceal your body, especially in your third trimester. So choose all black from head to toe. Opt for close-fitting layers so you do not stray into the goth territory and instead stay safely in the chic-zone. Feel too dark? Grab a brightly colored clutch or bold accessory to break up the black.
5 Keep it casual
For the weekends, try a comfy t-shirt with an infinity scarf and skinny jeans. The circle scarf will stay higher on your neck so you are not adding another layer over your belly but will still keep you looking cool and collected with minimal effort. Win! Opt for a lighter fabric though so you do not feel too constricted. Want to look even more trendy? Toss your hair high on your head in a messy bun.

6 Stick with stripes
Horizontal stripes are always a hit year-round, but especially in the fall around campfires and at football games. What is that you say? Are you thinking stripes are a no-fly-zone with your growing bump? Not at all! Choose a wider stripe and show off your belly. Pair black or navy stripes with a golden yellow scarf and skinny jeans for a classic look or wear some dress. Be proud of what your body is doing. It is performing a miracle after all.
7 Color-blocking
Color blocking is trendy again this year and it can absolutely work for pregnant women with some attention to detail and a careful selection process. Do not just grab any color blocking item and hope for the best. Instead, try to find tops where the color change is higher up on the body rather than across the largest part of your bump for a more flattering and still trendy look. Keep the rest of your attire simple and let the top take center-stage.
8 Layer it up
I love the look of an open button-up trench coat, a flowing cape or even a vest and this is definitely a great trend for pregnant mamas. Wear a close-fitting shirt with a loose layer over it such as a long sleeveless vest or sweater coat. Your bump will be free but the rest of your body will be comfy and cozy! Pair it with leggings and booties or stacked heels to keep your style on-point.
9 Jump for joy with the jumpsuit
One of the fall’s biggest maternity trends is surprisingly flattering for maternity style is the jumpsuit. The loose fit around the midsection and full coverage will have you looking and feeling amazing all day and on into the night.
Pair it with some sturdy heels and a chunky bracelet or necklace. Stylish mama! Just keep in mind that you will need extra time when you are visiting the restroom. They are not exactly pregnant-bladder friendly. Do not say I did not warn you.
10 Layers with leggings
Leggings have been mentioned in the other tips, but they are so vital to maternity fashion that they deserve a section all to themselves. Find your favorite pair of buttery soft leggings and discover how many outfits you can create with them as a base.
Wear them under tunics, baggy t-shirts, or sweaters. You can dress them up with heels or booties, or you can keep it casual with sneakers or boots. Plus, they are comfortable enough to wear all day every day. What more can we say? They are the superstar of a pregnant woman’s wardrobe.
