More practical than rompers, more industrial than jeans and a shirt, overalls are an entire outfit in a single article of clothing — and maternity overalls are even more impressive. After all, they’re the all-purpose outfit housing you and your soon-to-be baby. Plus, when you’re pregnant, your growing belly and boobs make it tricky to find any clothes that fit — let alone clothes that are comfortable. Going out and buying an entirely new wardrobe of maternity clothes is tempting, but a complete waste of money, and chances are you won’t wear 90% of those clothes when you lose your bump. Maternity dresses are another solid all-in-one outfit, but let’s face it: There’s just something cool about overalls. And maternity overalls happen to be the perfect pregnancy pieces, thanks to their adjustable straps (also perfect for nursing) side panels, and fabric that stretches to accommodate your belly.
Unfortunately, there are a shmillion maternity overalls out there, and the last thing you want to do when you’re expecting is worry about wading through all the bad ones to find the few that will grow with you through all 40 weeks and (gulp) beyond. So, just for you, we’ve found the most perfect maternity overalls you’ll want to wear through your entire pregnancy — and keep as closet staples long after baby arrives.
And don’t think “overalls” means you’ll look like a third-grader in stiff denim; these comfy pieces include fabrics from linen to corduroy, and they’ve been trend-upgraded with features like wide legs, keyhole and tie-front details, and a gorgeous palette of colors to make you feel like your best self — even if you can’t see your toes anymore. Find our picks for the best and cutest maternity overalls in the slides ahead.

Stretchy & Chic
These bib overalls from Wash Clothing Company come in elegant dark-wash denim and have built-in stretch to suit pregnant bumps of all sizes and stages. They’re also machine washable (because what preggo’s got the time for dry-cleaning?).
Lovely Linen
This slouchy cotton-linen-blend pair of overalls is one you’ll want to wear well beyond the third (or fourth) trimester of pregnancy. The loose-fit option from Gihuo comes in neutral tones such as army green, brown, and navy and is machine-washable (but gentle cycle for longevity, ya hear?).
Best Distressed Denim
If your pre-pregnancy wardrobe had a soft spot for stylishly distressed denim that fit like a dream, please direct your attention to this pair of denim overalls. The side-tie detail lets you customize the fit no matter which trimester you’re in.
Fun Florals
If pregnancy is bringing out the part of you that secretly always wanted to dress like your wacky aunt in Arizona — honestly, we’re right there with you. Skip the Eileen Fisher prices with these hand-painted cropped coveralls for less than $50.
Elegant Black Denim
The black skinny jeans may be on hold for now, but these trendy black denim overall dungarees from Seraphine are just the thing to take you and your bump through any season and every trimester. They also come in regular-ol’ blue denim if you’re a bit more of a traditionalist.
The Coziest Option
Hatch is definitely a splurge, but it has a cult following for a damn good reason. These overalls’ self-tie straps make nursing a breeze, and the pockets in the back are perfect. Its relaxed, drapey fit makes it the ultimate lounging piece.
Loungewear Forever
Part overall, part jumpsuit, this pick from MakeMeChic is 100% cozy. Plus, in the Year of Work-From-Home that is 2020, doesn’t every pregnant person need an outfit that could double as pajamas?
Emerald & Flexible
Another pair that works great for pregnancy, postpartum, and regular-ol’ the rest of life too, this cropped green getup from Verdusa isn’t maternity-specific, but leaves plenty of bump room for at least the first, second, and “fourth” trimesters. If the green’s not your jam, it comes in a ton of other colors too, from mauve to mustard.
Jersey For the Win
These overalls are light, comfy, and will quickly become your go-to pregnancy piece. Designed to fit through every trimester, the tie straps and oversized pockets will take you through pregnancy and beyond.
An Affordable Classic
The pockets make the overalls, yes? This pair is no exception. Adjustable suspenders with metal fasteners, buttons at the sides, a three-section bib pocket, side pockets, and back pockets are all accounted for. What more could you need?
