Adjustable black maternity jeans
A good pair of maternity jeans is one you forget you're wearing. Our maternity jeans expand with your belly thanks to their side elastic bands, and some styles can also be adjusted with buttons. Raw denim, gray, or black, ranging from €57 to €75—here's everything you need to know to choose the right pair for you.
What are maternity jeans?
These jeans are designed to accommodate the changing shape of the belly during pregnancy. Whereas traditional jeans have a stiff waistband that constricts the abdomen, maternity jeans adapt: their waist expands as the months go by, without causing any compression.
Our styles look just like everyday jeans, with no wide, visible waistband: two discreet elastic bands on the sides do all the work. Paired with a top that covers the waist, there’s no way to tell they’re maternity jeans.
What styles of jeans for pregnant women do we offer?
- Unwashed maternity jeans, €57: elastic side panels.
- Gray maternity jeans, €57: elastic side panels.
- Adjustable raw-edge maternity jeans, €75: side elastic and button closure.
- Adjustable black maternity jeans, €75: elastic side panels and button closure.
All are available in sizes S, M, L, and XL. The €57 styles are the simplest option; the €75 adjustable styles offer a more precise fit and can be worn longer after giving birth.
Elastic-waist jeans or adjustable-waist jeans: Which should you choose?
Elastic-waist jeans are a good choice if comfort is your top priority during pregnancy: they stretch on their own, without needing to be adjusted. They're the simplest and most economical option.
Adjustable jeans have buttons on the inside of the waistband. You can adjust the waist to fit your stage of pregnancy, then tighten it again after giving birth. If you want to wear your jeans in the months following childbirth, this is the most cost-effective option.
How do I choose the right size?
The €57 jeans (in raw and gray) run large: choose one size smaller than your usual size. For adjustable jeans, start with your usual size and adjust the waistband using the buttons.
On each product page, you'll find the size worn by our models and their month of pregnancy, to help you figure out the right fit. If you're unsure, please contact us before ordering—we'll be happy to help.
When during pregnancy should you start wearing maternity jeans?
Most women feel the need for this between the 12th and 16th week, when their bellies start to round out and the button on their usual pair of jeans becomes uncomfortable. Some need it sooner, others later.
The right time is as soon as your jeans start to feel tight. Thanks to the elastic bands, you can keep wearing the same pair of maternity jeans until the end of your pregnancy.
How do you wear maternity jeans?
For everyday wear: a T-shirt or a slightly long sweatshirt, sneakers, and a light jacket. For the office or a night out: black adjustable jeans with a blouse, an open blazer, and ankle boots.
Nude goes with everything, gray adds a softer touch, and black is easy to style. To prepare for after the baby arrives, choose tops that you can also wear while breastfeeding, like our maternity and nursing T-shirts.
How many pairs of maternity jeans should I plan to buy?
For most expectant mothers, one or two pairs of jeans are enough. Jeans don't need to be washed as often as T-shirts, so there's no need to buy too many.
A great combination: a light-colored pair for everyday wear and a dark pair for more formal outfits. Then round out the look with a few comfortable tops that go with everything.
Can you wear your maternity jeans after giving birth?
Yes. After giving birth, it takes several weeks for the belly to return to its normal shape: elastic waistbands remain comfortable during this transition, and adjustable styles can be tightened using the buttons.
These same jeans will see you through your pregnancy and the first few months with your baby, until you’re ready to return to your usual wardrobe.
How to care for your maternity jeans?
Wash it inside out, at a maximum of 30 °C, with similar colors. Raw denim may bleed during the first few washes: wash it separately or with dark colors at first.
Avoid using a dryer and bleach, which can damage the color and the elastic. Air-dry in the shade, and always follow the care label instructions.
How long does delivery take?
