Joe’s maternity jeans are constant sellouts, so act fast on this white straight-leg fit for warmer weather. The clean look and lightweight feel are comfy in the heat and perfect with slide sandals, sneakers, and heels if you’re up for it.

FAQ

• How do you know what size maternity jeans to buy?

  While fit can fluctuate between brands, Hatch's former Vice President of Design Maggie McGowan says most maternity denim labels offer sizing based on your current pregnant measurements, so however you grow during pregnancy, you can purchase the right size, whether you opt for a below- or over-the-bump silhouette.

• What week do you start wearing maternity jeans?

  There’s no official “right” time to buy maternity jeans—it’s all about preference. Many maternity jeans are designed to be worn at all stages of pregnancy, including post-pregnancy. Still, most women start shopping for maternity clothing once they are not able to wear their pre-pregnancy clothes comfortably and need more room and support.

• What’s the difference between maternity jeans and regular jeans?

  The biggest difference is that they’re made to accommodate your growing belly. Below-the-bump maternity jeans feature elastic panels at the front waist and a lower front rise to accommodate all stages of pregnancy, with a slightly higher back rise for a secure and mobile feel. Over-the-bump maternity jeans feature a larger stretch panel, typically without a button and fly, resembling leggings. Keep in mind, too, that you can wear your maternity jeans even after you have your baby.
