While they aren't nearly as comfty as maternity work dresses, I'm really happy with how they look - like fashionable normal pants - and they should be a great staple. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-maternity-work-clothes#post-2769367 Wed, 23 Aug 2017 11:45:23 +0000 shabang 2769367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gap and Target were my staples for work maternity clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-maternity-work-clothes#post-2769333 Wed, 23 Aug 2017 10:21:08 +0000 Meowkers 2769333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks to all your recommendations, I ended up buying pants from Gap and they look great (for maternity pants). :silly: Thanks so much ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-maternity-work-clothes#post-2765779 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 20:24:17 +0000 MaryM 2765779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gap pants have been the only ones that work for me. I like that they come in actual sizes and not just S, M, L etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-maternity-work-clothes#post-2765773 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 20:02:02 +0000 youboots 2765773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gap!

They look like nice pants I would wear normally and not some hideous bunchy maternity pants. Stitch fix maternity was a complete joke and failure for me, I asked for work wear and gave some guidelines and they sent me three ruched tshirts, an absolutely awful baggy pair of mom capris, and a dress in a color I specifically said I hated. Would not waste your time there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-maternity-work-clothes#post-2765683 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 15:32:53 +0000 nana87 2765683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's expensive but I love Rosie Pope </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-maternity-work-clothes#post-2765682 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 15:32:49 +0000 Shantuck 2765682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My best work maternity clothing came from Seraphine (pricey but watch for the sales - also, I felt like it was worth it to invest in a few simple pieces that I could wear over and over again) and Jojo Maman Bebe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-maternity-work-clothes#post-2765679 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 15:25:57 +0000 MACSUNSHINE 2765679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gap was my go to for pants, the ones @LBEE linked to were my staple. Loft is great for tops.</p> <p>I will also say that stitchfix maternity was fabulous. Definitely more expensive but unique items that could stretch your wardrobe between work and play. Highly recommend stitchfix for maternity! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-maternity-work-clothes#post-2765645 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 14:19:31 +0000 mdf106 2765645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Macy's carries Motherhood Maternity and Pea in the Pod clothes, so you probably were seeing some of the same things in both places. I personally liked Motherhood and Pea in the Pod, but I mostly bought online, because the in-store selection is dismal. Where did you buy the jeans you like? I would try there. In general, I really liked dresses for work while pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-maternity-work-clothes#post-2765625 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 13:18:44 +0000 HeartAbandoned 2765625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zulily has a bunch of cute stuff right now if you're willing to buy online. Target also has a brand new maternity line (that I can't remember the name of....) that had cute stuff as I walked by the other day. I think they have discontinued Liz Lange, so there are some good sales on that line if you like any of her stuff...I have a black trench coat from ASOS that I LOVE from my last pregnancy. I haven't browsed their selection in ages, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-maternity-work-clothes#post-2765589 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 11:52:44 +0000 Alba4 2765589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pea in the Pod, Loft, and Gap were my favorites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-maternity-work-clothes#post-2765586 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 11:34:41 +0000 LBee 2765586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meowkers: Depending on the "look" at your office (we aren't allowed to wear minnie pants), these are the pants I wear constantly: </p> <p><a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&#038;pid=549382002" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&#038;pid=549382002</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-maternity-work-clothes#post-2765585 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 11:30:46 +0000 meadow 2765585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a lot of luck with pants at Kohls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-maternity-work-clothes#post-2765580 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 10:48:20 +0000 sillymilly 2765580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All maternity black pants are awful. I got away with wearing leggings with a long cardigan or tunic and boots most days, but there are only 3 females including myself in my entire office, so I don't think anyone really cared or noticed. Seraphine has some nice items. I didn't try their pants but got a wrap dress which was nice and worked well for the office when I needed to see clients. I also bought a few things off of gilt and they were good quality and fit well, but the delivery time is usually long for maternity items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-maternity-work-clothes#post-2765576 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 10:37:37 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2765576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have to wear "work clothes" to work, but what about the old navy pixie pants? I think they come in maternity and I have seen a lot of bees who like those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-maternity-work-clothes#post-2765572 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 10:32:29 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2765572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite professional dresses were the "bodycon" I bought from <a href="https://www.isabellaoliver.com/us" rel="nofollow">https://www.isabellaoliver.com/us</a>. I could get away with just needing a couple professional outfits since I don't see the same people every day or months on end. A pair of Ponte slacks from A Pea in the Pod served me well. I paired it with Motherhood plain tops and a maternity cardigan for more a business casual look. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-maternity-work-clothes#post-2765570 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 10:23:44 +0000 Meowkers 2765570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: I looked at Loft but they seem to be low on inventory because they only had limited sizing in their apparel. I'll check back but I was definitely disappointed. </p> <p>@yoursilverlining: i usually prefer dresses for work but i was really hoping to extend my maternity wardrobe with 1 pair of black pants and switching up a ton of different tops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-maternity-work-clothes#post-2765569 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 10:21:27 +0000 periwinklebee 2765569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following. I also need a few things that look professional (for a male dominated industry) and so much maternity is casual or covered in floral prints. We have a local Pea in the Pod store which I'll probably go to soon. I think I may just skip looking for pants (ugh) and hope I don't freeze in dresses. I'm hoping dresses in neutral colors with cardigans will work well in a small professional capsule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-maternity-work-clothes#post-2765563 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 10:13:26 +0000 LBee 2765563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gap and Loft. I predominately wear Gap trousers (not sure if they still set them, though, as they were from my son's pregnancy) with Loft tops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-maternity-work-clothes#post-2765560 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 10:10:44 +0000 SweetiePie 2765560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loft! I've had good luck with them.<br /> Gap might also have a black skinny ankle pant. </p> <p>I used to get mine at JCrew but they discontinued their maternity line 😢 I know madewell is starting a maternity line but not sure if they'll have work pants. Might have a really nice black Jean though that you could possibly get away with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-maternity-work-clothes#post-2765556 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 10:06:09 +0000 yoursilverlining 2765556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes to how horrible those black maternity pants are. For the love of God, pull it together designers. </p> <p>I don't have any good leads on pants because I mostly just wore dresses while pregnant (and not pregnant). A Pea in the Pod had fabulous professional dresses when I was pregnant. They were higher quality and more professional than the options I found at Motherhood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-maternity-work-clothes#post-2765554 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 10:03:21 +0000 Meowkers 2765554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ladies where do you buy good maternity work clothes?</p> <p>With my last pregnancy, I was in a super casual office so I wore jeans and legging everyday. This time around I'm in a business professional setting so i need to stock up on work clothes. </p> <p>Went to Pea in the Pod, Motherhood, and Macy's yesterday. They all had the same pair of black slacks which fit like a 3rd grader's sewing project. They had a million pleats on the butt (pretty sure it's my stomach that's growing, not my butt) and ran like 3 sizes too big in the legs. </p> <p>I would be so appreciative of any and all suggesting on where to buy some good maternity work clothes. Thanks ladies! </p>
