The Hands-Down Best Maternity Jeans, Straight From Moms and Moms-to-Be Who Know

"If I'm just going to dinner or will only be in them a short time, I like wearing these with ankle booties or mules. I'm a fan of straight legs, and the raw hemline is delicate. So from a style perspective I like the ankles of these. In terms of fit, they feel a little baggy around my thighs (which can happen with straight leg), and the below-the-waist band digs into my sides when I sit for a long time. On the plus, because they're below-the-belly, I can tuck sweaters into the front of the waistband the way I normally would. I keep these in roration for those moments when I want to focus on my shoes and the hem, or am desperate to tuck in a sweater. But they're not my favorites for all-day wear." — RB
