We don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that finding the perfect pair of jeans is everything. There’s no piece of clothing quite so iconic, quite so dependable, quite so effortless. There’s no other piece of clothing that makes you feel like… well, you. That’s why we’re devoted to making stylish maternity jeans you can reach for as soon as your fail-safe denim becomes a little too snug.
Pregnancy doesn’t mean you have to give up wearing your favourite style of jeans with absolute comfort and confidence. Whether you love your classic straight-cut jeans, skinny jeans, wide-leg jeans, tapered jeans or boyfriend jeans, we’ve got the style you love, made maternity perfect.
With over 20 years’ experience in designing clothes for changing bodies, our knowledge and innovation means our maternity denim range is a cut above the rest. We’re constantly refining our technical construction, testing out fits on pregnant models and adding thoughtful details that make our maternity jeans a real pleasure to wear.
- Our ultra-soft belly bands (with the perfect level of stretch!) are made from modal, so they are not only super comfy but breathable, too
- Adjustable fastenings and clever darting make our jeans fit like a glove and stay comfortable all day long
- Our over-bump bands feature a gap at the front of the waistband, allowing you to tuck in shirts and tees for a more put-together look
- We’ve reinforced AND doubled up the belt loops, making them extra strong for pulling up
- 90% of our denim range is made from organic cotton as part of work towards reducing our environment impact
- We only source denim from mills and laundries that demonstrate high environmental standards and provide evidence of water and energy saving systems
Endlessly versatile, stylish and comfortable, our maternity jeans are set to be the hardest working items in your pregnancy wardrobe. In fact, they’re so comfy that we’re sure you’ll still be wearing them long after your baby has arrived. If you’re a big jeans fan, we’d suggest investing in a couple of pairs so you can alternate between them throughout your pregnancy. But which to choose? We take a deeper dive into maternity denim…
Over-the-bump vs Under-the-bump Maternity Jeans
When you’re choosing your maternity jeans the most important feature to look at is the belly band. Most of our jeans come with over-the-bump or under-the-bump bands, which provide support and comfort in different ways.
- If you prefer wearing low-cut jeans and tend to get hot, an under-bump band that supports from underneath might be best for you.
- If you love high-rise jeans, and feeling secure when you are ‘tucked in’, an over-bump belly band might be your best option.
Both styles are designed for maximum comfort and softness, with enough stretch to keep your jeans securely on your hips – growing as you grow and giving your bump some much welcome extra support.
Seraphine’s Guide to Maternity Jean Styles
Maternity Skinny Jeans
Choose skinny jeans for a sleek look that elongates your silhouette and gives great support, fitting snug from ankle to hip. We love skinny jeans tucked into boots and worn with oversized shirts and jumpers.
Slim Leg Maternity Jeans
This cut is extremely flattering and gives a preppy feel to outfits. With a little more room to flex than skinny jeans, they are great for busy days when you’re on the go. Pair them with loafers and ankles on show for a chic pared-back look.
Maternity Boyfriend Jeans
So called because they have the relaxed fit you might expect when wearing jeans borrowed from your partner, our most casual and comfortable style has enough room to allow for movement and keep you feeling cool. Wear them with T-shirts and trainers for a laid-back vibe or add pretty cotton tops and sandals for a more polished approach.
Wide-leg Maternity Jeans
Seriously comfortable, wonderfully versatile and effortlessly cool, wide-leg jeans have long been a wardrobe staple, and their popularity is showing no signs of slowing. We love how the roomy cut not only exudes a laid-back vibe but also means they won’t restrict movement, making them perfect for every day.
Tapered Fit Maternity Jeans
The timelessly flattering fit of tapered jeans makes them the ultimate everyday pair. Slightly cropped and gradually slimming towards the ankle, they work well with both casual trainers and polished boots alike.
Maternity Dungarees
Dungarees were made for pregnancy. The shoulder straps mean they feel nice and secure without the need for a waistband and the bib front creates the perfect pouch for your bump! Our adjustable pair allows you to adapt the fit so you can wear them throughout your pregnancy. Just add a Breton top and flats for instant, easy style.
When to buy Maternity Jeans
If this is your first pregnancy, you can expect to grow out of your regular jeans at around 12 to 15 weeks. Our maternity jeans are designed to grow with your body so you can wear them from the very beginning of your pregnancy, enjoying the supportive cotton waistbands and stretchy soft-wash denim. We’d recommend having your maternity jeans on standby before you grow out of your old jeans so that you don’t have to walk about with your top button undone or go without this wardrobe essential altogether for too long.
When to start wearing Maternity Jeans
You can start wearing your maternity jeans whenever you like, but (as a general rule) it’s better to swap them into your wardrobe before your regular jeans start to feel uncomfortable. Eleven weeks is a good time to swap over if you haven’t before.
What Size Maternity Jeans to Buy
When you’re buying your maternity jeans, choose the size you would usually wear. Seraphine sizing is especially easy – simply pick your pre-pregnancy size for the perfect fit throughout each trimester. The beauty of our jeans is that they’re designed to grow with you and work with your changing body.
Post-Maternity Jeans
As your body gently eases back after birth, you may be seeking that extra level of support to comfortably shape your silhouette. Our post-maternity denim is fitted with post-partum compression bands that create a reassuringlyfirm feeling of being held around the middle.
Denim Done Right
Maternity jeans are a pregnancy wardrobe saviour – especially if you’ve always been a dedicated denim wearer. With a wide variety of cuts, all fitted with soft jersey over-bump panels or supportive, elasticated under-bump bands, Seraphine’s range of pregnancy jeans has something to suit every style. Whether straight, cropped or wide-leg, our selection of maternity denim is expertly designed to fit and flatter through every stage of pregnancy. We've reimagined your favourite jeans so you can do denim your way, every day.
