It’s summer and you’re pregnant? Congratulations! Your summer, fall, or winter baby will be here before you know it. In the meantime, it’s a good idea to update your wardrobe with some fashion pieces for the warm weather. STYLEBOOK presents the most beautiful maternity fashion for summer.
Want to stay stylish during pregnancy? It’s not an easy task with everything you need to consider. Comfort should be the top priority. We’ve found tops, pants, and summer dresses that perfectly combine fashion and pregnancy.
Overview
Maternity Fashion in Summer: The Fabric Matters
In maternity fashion for summer, it’s important that the fabric is comfortable and stretchy. Materials like jersey and stretch are suitable. You can also opt for pieces with integrated cuffs that hug your body and bump.
Another important feature for maternity fashion is reusability. It’s frustrating to buy clothes that you only wear for a few months. A good bra made of soft material is a must during pregnancy—why not choose one that you can easily slide aside for nursing later? That’s sustainable shopping.
Tight Tops – Whether Long or Cropped
During pregnancy, it looks especially nice to highlight the belly. This works particularly well in summer with a tight top made of stretchy material. You have the choice of letting your baby bump show or keeping it under the top.
Airy and Comfortable Pants
There’s hardly anything worse in summer than walking around in tight jeans. That’s why you should always choose pants that feel light and airy with a stretchy waistband. This way, the pants will fit well before, during, and even after pregnancy.
Beautiful Maxi Dresses
What would summer be without a maxi dress? Pregnancy is the time to rock such a model! The maxi dress in soft fabric is perfect for the German summer. Whether long or short-sleeved, the main thing is that your round companion feels comfortable and has either plenty of space or a gentle, elastic fabric that embraces it.
Pregnant and Proud: Cropped Blouses
The pride that comes with pregnancy can be shown off. In a cropped blouse, you can display your bump. It not only looks beautiful but can also feel liberating in summer temperatures. You can choose already cropped blouses or simply leave the lower buttons open. Of course, make sure to apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to your baby bump.

What Matters in Maternity Fashion in Summer
Besides sunscreen, it’s advisable to have a thermal spray on hand to refresh your face on the go. For additional sun protection, it’s worth carrying a scarf in your bag to easily cover your shoulders or belly during intense sun exposure. And on your feet, high shoes are fine; with a comfortable wedge heel, you can’t go wrong!
Ultimately, in maternity fashion, it’s important to know your style and stay true to it. Your clothing choices shouldn’t fall on overly daring pieces that you might not like in a few weeks or months. Dress in your favorite timeless colors and prioritize soft materials.
