If you’re sporting a growing bump this season and are looking to update your wardrobe with stylish winter maternity fashion, check out our guide to winter wonderland dressing in collaboration with ethical and sustainable fashion brands Isabella Oliver and Baukjen.
These contemporary and sustainable wardrobe staples and seasonal pieces are carefully designed to take you comfortably through each trimester. If you’re a mama-to-be looking for winter maternity wear, you’ve come to the right place. Choose from a whole host of beautiful maternity pieces perfect for the festive season and beyond.
Winter maternity fashion doesn’t have to be boring, and you really don’t need to wave goodbye to all of your favourite go-to items in the wardrobe for nine whole months. It’s easy to mix and match during the first and second trimester, AND it can be done in the third trimester too.
Pair your winter maternity dresses with your favourite leather jacket to give your look a rockstar edge. If you don’t have one, now is the time to invest.
This handmade Kara leather jacket from Baukjen is made from a butter-soft nappa leather and offers a relaxed fit. It will stand the test of time, even once baby is born.

Your body will be busy changing month by month during your pregnancy. While you’ll be able to make do with your current wardrobe, for the most part, there will come a time when you’ll want to invest in some maternity wear.
It’s worth working out which key maternity pieces you’ll need this winter – ones you’ll be able to wear over and over, and with Christmas just around the corner, you won’t want to miss out on wearing something a little special.
From wear-everywhere maternity heroes to outfits set to stun, we love every one of these nine super-comfy winter maternity dresses, each designed to flatter and support your ever-changing body shape.
We think a great pair of leather leggings should be found in every woman’s wardrobe, and we love the range by Isabella Oliver, and their sister company, Baukjen.
Leather leggings are a wardrobe staple during winter, and these butter soft leather leggings by Isabella Oliver can be dressed up and down a hundred ways for the ultimate chic. Thanks to their elasticated waistline that offers a super flattering, slim-fit style, you’ll live in the Rowsley leggings this season and beyond. Why not pair with slouchy sweaters or flattering blouses, tunic button-downs or casual tees?
You can absolutely rock skinny jeans during pregnancy. These Stretch Organic Maternity Skinny Jeans have an elastic waistband and a jersey panel that pulls up over your bump, so they’re super-comfortable to wear day in, day out.
Baukjen’s Ardi Shearling Gilet Vest is a timeless investment piece to cherish forever. Crafted from fully traceable shearling, this luxurious and ridiculously cosy gilet is the perfect investment for maternity and beyond.
Free from fastenings so you can use it during every trimester, wear it with leather biker jackets, jumpers, tailored trousers and joggers for the ultimate chic. And the best bit? It’s reversible, with a matt leather finish on one side.
The key to winter maternity fashion is layering, especially in freezingly cold temperatures, and this range of tanks and tops are each designed to fit bumps of all shapes and sizes. We love the Breton stripe, a must-have for every woman’s wardrobe, but especially flattering for mamas to be. Choose from any of these wardrobe heroes for relaxed, on-point winter fashion.
Keep your bump snug all day long in relaxed-fit knitwear you won’t want to take off. Our favourite piece has to be the Jolie Stripe Turtleneck, made from gorgeous 100% merino wool. Style any of these jumpers with denim for the ultimate weekend look.
Why not consider renting maternity clothes this year? Isabella Oliver is now offering a fabulous and sustainable way of looking fabulous during pregnancy. Simply rent the pieces you like, enjoy them, and send them back, completely hassle-free. There is also a discounted range of pre-loved pieces available on their website.
