Where is all the maternity business wear??

So I'm packing for a business trip and realizing that things are getting a little bit more snug on top. Been looking at motherhood maternity, kohls, ON and everything I see is more casual wear and stripes. Where is all the maternity business wear????

Re: Where is all the maternity business wear??

  • Good luck finding much. Macy's had a few pieces when I looked a few weeks ago. I'm stil wearing normal tops, but maternity pants. Ann Taylor has a few nicer tops I've been eyeing for when I need them.

  • Did you try Target or Target.com? I think they have some business stuff.

  • LOFT has some cute office-appropriate things, but their maternity line is online only.  On the plus side, they have frequent sales.  Gap also has some office-appropriate maternity clothes.  I got a bunch of maternity tees that I wear under my regular cardigans and blazers.  I hate the striped thing - I've had a really hard time finding maternity wear that isn't striped!  I wouldn't normally wear stripes, why am I expected to wear them now?

  • I got some slacks at Sears by Two Heart Maternity. They're great. They're actually my favorite of my dress/work pants.

    I know! Their pants are by far the most comfortable. And DH's aunt got me two of their sweaters for Christmas. Love them.

  • I like Gap for pants but I haven't had a need for tops yet. I recommend getting a wrap dress for business. I just got a non maternity one at Banana republic in a size larger than I usually wear and it's amazing. I'll be able to adjust it as my stomach grows.

  • I have ordered from GAP a lot it seems! I do not like having to pay $70 for a pair of pants, however keep an eye out because they OFTEN do 25-30% off
    (online) a few times a week. I've gotten two pairs of pants for $25 and under. One pair I found as in an in-store return, only cost $7 and fit like a glove! I like Target for tops only. Plain tanks and long sleeves you can dress up with a cardigan or statement necklace. In my experience Target has the cheapest made pants. So awful! Unless you are made like a mannequin, don't waste your energy in the dressing room. Motherhood Maternity also had some cute and flattering pencil skirts on clearance under $20 as well.....hope this helps!

  • Thanks ladies. I'll check out those recommendations. Haven't been in a sears in years! I did wear a dress the other day which was very comfortable but definitely called out attention to myself at work since I never wear dresses!

  • I found some decent business clothes at Sears.

  • All my business pants are from Gap. I haven't had to switch over to maternity tops yet, but I've seen a few cute work-appropriate things at Gap, Macy's and Motherhood.
