13 Best Maternity Jeans, According to Pregnant Women in 2024

Gap has long been a go-to for classic, reliable denim, and their maternity line is no exception. The True Waistband Full Panel Cheeky Straight Jeans offer the perfect blend of comfort and style, with a full panel that stretches over your belly for maximum support without compromising on the look. “I really love Gap’s maternity jeans. Unlike most maternity denim, Gap’s actually feel like my favorite pair of pre-pregnancy jeans. It’s nearly impossible to find maternity jeans with pockets and a full panel, and Gap manages to do it while also maintaining comfort, style, and being budget-friendly. They’re a pregnancy must-have,” says Mandela Cocores, a Brooklyn-based mom and founder of Welcome Home.

Leah Melby Clinton, mom of two and founder of In Kind and Diana, echoes this sentiment, noting, “Pre-pregnancy, I was so visually and aesthetically turned off by full-panel maternity jeans, but I quickly realized that they felt so much better on than the in-set elastic panels. In the maternity space, I really like how Gap offers silhouettes and hems that aren’t over-the-top trending but show off a few details that feel current.” These jeans offer a straight-leg opening that hits above the ankle, making them versatile enough for any occasion.
