Tops that hold the structure of a real wardrobe

A good maternity top has to do more than fit a bump. It has to layer well, work with the bottoms you already own, dress up for the office, and dress down for the weekend. Apéro's maternity tops collection is designed around that reality. The pieces include ribbed long-sleeve tops, drapey wrap fronts, knit scoop tanks, structured button-down shirts, denim shirt jackets, and oversized panel jumpers. Fabrics range from substantial ribbed cotton to weighty knit blends, soft jerseys, and crisp poplin.

Most pieces in this collection include some form of feeding-friendly access - wraps, side zips, panelled layers, or stretch necklines - which extends their utility from maternity tees for pregnancy through to breastfeeding tops for the postpartum period. The cuts work across trimesters: empire and wrap fronts grow with you, oversized silhouettes accommodate peak bump, and longer hemlines stay put as the bump rises. This versatility extends to our matching maternity sets, structural maternity jumpers, and supportive maternity pants, ensuring comfort at every stage.  This is the building-block category of a maternity wardrobe and Apéro designs every piece to earn its keep.

Frequently asked questions

  • The best maternity top has three qualities. A longer length over the front to accommodate the bump, a fabric with weight that holds its shape, and a silhouette you would wear regardless of pregnancy. Wrap fronts, ribbed long-sleeve tops, and structured button-downs are the most versatile. If you intend to breastfeed, choose pieces with discreet feeding access. Wraps, side zips, or stretchy scoop necks all work. The best maternity tops should look like ones you would buy if you weren't pregnant. The maternity element should be invisible.

  • A maternity top should fit close at the shoulders and bust, with extra length over the front of the body and some ease through the waist. The hem should sit at or below the natural waist and stay put as the bump grows. Avoid maternity tops that fit too loosely in the shoulders. They often look oversized rather than tailored. The bust and arms should fit close to your usual size; sizing up entirely usually makes the top fall poorly. The right fit emphasises structure at the top with release through the body.

  • The number of maternity tops you need is typically six to eight for a comfortable rotation through pregnancy. Divide them across short-sleeve, long-sleeve, and one or two layering pieces. If you intend to breastfeed, include three to four feeding-friendly tops in the count. Investing in a few versatile pieces is usually more practical than buying many low-quality maternity tops. The most-worn maternity wardrobes typically have a small number of high-quality tops in heavy rotation rather than a large number of cheaper pieces.

  • Yes, you can wear maternity tops after pregnancy. Most maternity tops translate well into postpartum, particularly wrap fronts, ribbed long-sleeve tops, and longer-line styles. The additional length and ease that flattered a bump also flatters a recovering postpartum body. We design most tops to work across both maternity and postpartum chapters, which is why the same Ari ribbed long-sleeve or Morgan wrap shirt that fitted you at 36 weeks will keep working through breastfeeding and beyond.

  • Yes, you can wear maternity tops after pregnancy. Most maternity tops translate well into postpartum, particularly wrap fronts, ribbed long-sleeve tops, and longer-line styles. The additional length and ease that flattered a bump also flatters a recovering postpartum body. Tops with very specific ruched bump panels translate less well. We design most tops to work across both maternity and postpartum chapters, which is why the same Ari ribbed long-sleeve or Morgan wrap shirt that fitted you at 36 weeks will keep working through breastfeeding and beyond.
