Maternity Work Pants

Most women switch to maternity work pants in the second trimester, when regular waistbands start to sit at the bump rather than below it. Adjustable styles are worth buying earlier, since the waistband loosens and tightens as your body changes, so the same pair fits at twelve weeks, at 38 weeks and again postpartum. If your current work pants are leaving marks by the end of the day, it is time.

The best maternity work pants are tailored pairs with an adjustable waistband, a structured fabric that holds its line through a full day, and a leg that stays true to your usual size while the waist adjusts. Our Sadie and Zadie trousers are built to exactly that brief, with internal button waists that expand up to four times your usual size, and the Bambi adds a boardroom-ready pinstripe on the same construction.

Black and navy are the most versatile colours for maternity work pants because they pair with almost anything already in your wardrobe and read as professional in any workplace. A pinstripe adds interest while staying polished. This collection covers all three, along with chocolate, khaki and pine green for offices where the dress code allows more colour.

Yes, you can wear maternity work pants after pregnancy, and ours are designed for exactly that. Adjustable internal-button waists ease back in as your shape changes, elasticated waistbands adapt to a postpartum body, and the Nina adds a drawstring to secure the fit as you recover. The pair that carried you through the third trimester will still fit when you head back to the office.

Yes, many of the maternity work pants in this collection are built on an adjustable or stretch waistband. The Sadie, Zadie and Bambi trousers use an internal button system that expands the waist up to four times your usual size, while the Agnes, Connie and Nina styles use soft, super-stretchy elastic, with a drawstring on the Nina to secure the fit postpartum. That construction is what lets one pair work across every trimester.
