Best Maternity Overalls

three pairs of maternity overalls

Between morning sickness and an increasingly unwieldy baby bump, getting dressed each morning can be a challenge for moms-to-be. The ideal pregnancy wardrobe is comfortable, practical and easy to wear — without sacrificing style. Enter maternity overalls, a great option for trend-setting moms everywhere.

First off, maternity overalls are just so, so … cute. There’s something playful about a pair of dungarees, and you’ll be fielding compliments every time you wear them.

Even better, maternity overalls are versatile and oh-so comfy. Since there's no waistband, you don’t need to hide a gaping top jean button under an oversized top or wear a belly band. Many pregnancy overalls have adjustable straps, so they seamlessly expand as your bump grows, then can shrink back down to become your favorite post-delivery staple. And because they cover most of your torso, you can get away with wearing non-maternity shirts underneath them for a little longer.

What to look for in maternity overalls

When shopping for the perfect pair of maternity overalls, keep the following things in mind:

  • Sizing. Though you may initially think you need to size up during pregnancy, maternity clothes are designed to mimic your typical size. (So, if you’re usually a size 8, opt for a size 8 in maternity wear.) Still, like any garment you’re purchasing — pregnant or not — it’s worthwhile to check reviews. If others consistently say something runs large, you may even want to size down; likewise, if something runs small, you may want to size up.
  • Fabric. For maximum comfort, look for materials with some stretch, like cotton or spandex. Stiff denim may look classic, but it may not be the most comfortable option, particularly if you’re looking for something you can lounge in throughout the trimesters.
  • Fit. Chances are you don’t want anything too tight, since this could restrict movement or begin to feel too compressing as your belly grows. To ensure comfort, look for roomier cuts and more relaxed fits in your maternity overalls.
  • Adjustability. Many overalls are adjustable — great for your growing baby bump — but note that some options are not. Typically, denim overalls have straps complete with adjustable hardware that can help accommodate a growing belly, while cotton or linen options tend to have more limited button or tie closures.

How we made our picks for the best maternity overalls

To help you find the best maternity overalls, we scoured posts in the What to Expect community to see what other moms-to-be are wearing and loving. We also checked out picks from top brands online to come up with a master list of pregnancy overalls you’ll want to live in throughout the trimesters. We made sure to keep things like fabric, adjustability, price and available sizes in mind, too.

A quick note: Some pairs highlighted throughout this guide are described as "nursing-friendly." While these overalls don't have any special nursing functionality, they do include features that may make nursing easier — think shoulder straps that easily clasp on and off,  a dropped waist with less restrictive material on the sides or stretchier fabric.

Here are our favorite pairs of maternity overalls and shortalls.

Why We Love It

When you hear the word “overalls,” you may not think to describe the style as “chic” at first — but these pregnancy overalls from Hatch prove that wrong. The straps hold up the overalls with chic knots (rather than your standard buttons, snaps or hooks), which are not only cute but practical, as they allow the overalls to work while pregnant or nursing. They have a stylishly off-center pocket on the chest, plus two in the back as well. Cinched ankles taper the leg nicely.

Why We Love It

This flowy white number has a glam, summery vibe — we can imagine it at a garden party or a picnic in the park. This is a bit more elevated in structure than your standard denim overalls, thanks to the lightweight ribbed material and classic V-neck. But there’s more to love than the aesthetic. There’s plenty of functional details to keep you comfortable throughout your pregnancy, including its stretchy jersey material and a tie-waist that helps you show off the bump you’re so proud of.

Material: 73 percent viscose, 23 percent polyester, 4 percent elastane.

To extend the life of your maternity overalls beyond the three trimesters, make sure they’ll work well into the postpartum period if you plan on nursing by allowing for easy feeding access. This pair will do just that, as it’ll suit you from the day you get that positive test through your fourth trimester. The stretch denim and drop waist offers room for your bump, and the adjustable straps can quickly unclasp to come down for nursing access after baby arrives. Win-win!

Why We Love It

Though a maternity style, this medium wash pair of overalls has the same classic style you know and love that makes them perfect for everyday wear, whether that means dressing down for errands or dressing up for date night. They’re nice and comfy no matter what stage of pregnancy you’re at, too. That’s because the denim has a nice stretch to it, plus the pair features adjustable straps to give you even more room when you need it.

Something else we appreciate? While this pair boasts a faded, casual wash, they don’t have any holes or distressed detailing, which can feel like a rarity when it comes to maternity denim.

Also nice: classic features like the patch bib and back pockets, slant front pockets, adjustable straps and buttons at the sides.
