Expecting Summer: What to Wear When You’re Pregnant in 90-Degree Heat
It’s sweltering. Your feet are swollen, your calves are aching and your burgeoning belly doesn’t fit into anything. Welcome to pregnancy in summer. It’s no walk (or waddle!) in the park, and it’s not for the faint of heart. You will feel hot, sticky and uncomfortable, but one thing is for sure: You don’t have to sacrifice your signature style. Choosing breezy materials and flattering fits can help you keep your cool and look like the picture of a glowing mom to be (yes, we know it’s sweat, but we won’t tell). We’ve rounded up some summer maternity clothes for those 90-degree days you love to hate and hate to love. Hot mama coming through!
Flutter Sleeve Maternity Midi Dress
Maternity summer dresses are a mom-to-be must-have – you can expose your tan legs and show off your adorable belly! This comfy lightweight midi dress has playful flutter sleeves that offer full-coverage underarm gussets and an elasticized empire waist, so you can wear it throughout your entire pregnancy and even in your early postpartum days. Plus, it has pockets and that’s always a style win!
ASOS Design Maternity Cami Maxi Dress
Maternity summer maxi dresses keep you cool and covered and can easily be dressed up or down. This chevron-print cami maxi dress hugs your middle and flares out in the most flattering way. It’s an awesome option paired with sandals for the beach or styled with wedges for a backyard barbecue. It’s nursing-friendly too!
DL1961 Karlie Boyfriend Maternity Shorts
These destructed mini denim short shorts offer a deep stretch and a subtle elastic side panel, so you can easily wear shirts tucked in or out.
Old Navy Off-the-Shoulder Jersey Bodycon Dress
If there is any time you can wear a skin-tight bodycon dress, it’s when you’re heavily pregnant. You can’t see regular belly rolls when your skin is stretched tight over a big pregnancy belly, so now is your moment to wear this otherwise limiting option.
Blooming Maternity Linen Blend Button Nursing Shirt
Linen shirts are to summer what ice cream is to pregnancy. This crisp black (or white) maternity style is airy paired with chino shorts or layered over a dress. It makes a great swimsuit cover, too.
Motherhood Maternity Tankini Swimsuit
We fully encourage you to show off that beautiful belly in an itty bitty two piece. But, if you’re feeling demure, you can stick to a one-piece or tankini. This gingham-print style offers full coverage, will grow with you throughout your pregnancy and supports your ample assets.
LOFT Maternity Skinny White Jeans
White jeans are a staple for your seasonal wardrobe. You can create all sorts of maternity summer outfits with this simple essential — dress them up or down, pair them with simple tees and blouses and rock with flip-flops or espadrilles. This skinny-fit pair features a full-belly panel to offer extra support and ultimate comfort.
Nom Maternity Striped Snap-Front Tank
You will want to live in cozy breathable cotton tanks and tees, like this striped button-top option. Comfort above all else when you’re dressing for two. What’s more, the snaps make it a subtle nursing option.
The Wrap Around Jumpsuit
You’re not going to want to take off this adorable, relaxed-fit jumpsuit. It’s loose but can easily be tailored to fit bellies of all sizes. Get creative with how you tie it!
It’s sizzling out there, but you can feel great and look fab — big belly and all. Don’t forget to shop with Rakuten, so you can earn Cash Back on all your maternity summer dresses and ensembles. Stay cool, mama. You’ve got this!
