Stylish Maternity Clothes
Hip, stylish, designer - these are not words expectant mothers usually encounter when shopping for maternity clothes. Yet an increasing number of maternity clothing designers are succeeding at bringing birth and beauty together. The following are a few of the maternity clothing sites we enjoy.
- www.ElinOtto.com
"Maternity wear you never thought existed!" is the tagline at ElinOtto. ElinOtto's designs are very modern and sleek, with simple cuts and a minimum of flourishes. Though other colors are available, ElinOtto's maternity clothes look their best in very modern tones such as platinum, dusty blue, black, and white.
Tops, bottoms, and dresses are the dominant maternity clothes at ElinOtto. Prices are reasonable, with most items below $100, and sale items available for as low as $59.
- www.IsabellaOliver.com
Based out of London and with an office in New York, Isabella Oliver's motto is "for pregnant women who love clothes." The maternity clothes at Isabella Oliver exude warmth and a somewhat more European sense of style. The site also offers style tips and maternity no nos.
The selection at Isabella Oliver is excellent. Knitwear, outerwear, loungewear, and sets are a few of the maternity clothes departments on display. Prices are a little higher for some items, but the range of maternity clothes at Isabella Oliver means there are pieces available to suit all budgets.

"Be sexy. Be confident. Be Bellylicious," is the unfortunate mantra at Bellylicious, but we're willing to overlook it because of their eclectic collection of maternity clothes. The bottom of their home page allows visitors to shop by designers, and the list includes established names such as Diane Von Furstenberg and Liz Lange, as well as modern classics like Habitual's "Knocked Up" maternity jeans, famously worn by the frequently pregnant Heidi Klum of Project Runway.
The Bellylicious selection of maternity clothes includes welcome categories such as the aforementioned denim, as well as novelty tanks and tees. The Celeb Style section features magazine photos of movie stars wearing items available at Bellylicious, so you can dress like movie moms-to-be.
