While we totally understand why you wouldn’t want to splurge on a big maternity wardrobe for those few months when your belly really pops, you might want to treat yourself to a few special pieces that help you feel confident and comfortable with your growing bump.
Particularly if you’ve got a special occasion coming up, you want to feel and look your best, so a dress made to fit your bump is ideal.
Now the temperature has dropped and we’re all wrapping up warm, we’ve put together a list of our favourite pieces for the Autumn/Winter season from Seraphine’s maternity range including coats, dresses and jeans we think you’ll love.
Our top seasonal picks from Seraphine
Best Seraphine coat

A big duvet like winter coat is a must have throughout the colder seasons, and Seraphine coat comes with a Faux-fur lined Zip-in babywearing coat panel that fits over their baby carrier or sling. It also comes with a zip-in hood and is made in a shower proof fabric in case you get caught in the rain. We also love that it’s nice and long to keep your legs warm (and it’s a bonus for taller mums).

If your heaviest months of pregnancy are going to be in the autumn and winter months, then a cosy jumper will be a firm favourite in your wardrobe.

It’s super stretchy for every stage of pregnancy and comes with foam cups for extra support on the bust.

Which celebs love Seraphine?
Seraphine made headlines back in 2018 when The Princess of Wales, then Duchess of Cambridge wore a Seraphine dress when she was expecting Prince Louis. As with most brands Kate wears, it soon became a popular choice for other pregnant mums who wanted to add a little luxury to their maternity wardrobe with that royal seal of approval. Kate’s younger sister Pippa was also a fan of the brand during her pregnancy.
Other celeb mums who have been spotted wearing Seraphine include opera singer Katherine Jenkins, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Kate Hudson and Giovanna Fletcher, so you’re in great company!
Is Seraphine an ethical brand?
With natural fibres make up 80 percent of Seraphine’s collections, they’re quality products that are built to last and be handed onto friends and family throughout the years. With sustainable packaging and ethical production methods, you can read the full Seraphine sustainability statement here.
Does Seraphine run true to size?
While most mums agree that Seraphine runs true to size, we always recommend checking the sizing guide against your measurement to get the most accurate fit. If you’re between sizes, we tend to recommend sizing up (especially if your bump is growing) to allow for some extra comfort. If you’re not sure, it might also be worth ordering both and sending one back.
