Finding maternity and nursing clothing for during and after pregnancy is tricky at the best of times. But what about more ethical and sustainable maternity brands? Here’s what we came up with.
Maternity clothing that cares for you and the planet
When you’re growing a little human being inside you, you want comfort, wiggle room, support, and clothes that don’t carry harmful chemicals. And you still want to feel stylish. While more ethical maternity clothing brands are hard to come by, we’ve found these fantastic top rated maternity brands that will keep you cool and comfortable, while looking great. They also go out of their way to make sure the planet along with its people and animals will be there in the future for your little one to enjoy.
Before buying new, a great first step is to see what you already own that can do the leg work for your maternity closet. Things like leggings, cardigans, roomy or wrap dresses, and stretchy tops and jumpers don’t need to be maternity specific to see you through your pregnancy, especially in the earlier months. Secondhand maternity options are also plentiful online or in store—check out Retykle for curated pre-loved maternity items.
And you could even see if your parent friends have any maternity clothes lying around they would let you borrow for the duration. But if you do need to buy new, the options below are worthy investments for the conscious parents-to-be or nursing parents.
More sustainable maternity clothes
SeamsFriendly
SeamsFriendly creates beautiful tailored pieces for all body types. It focuses on function and utility in its designs and uses lower-impact materials like organic cotton and linen. What’s more, shoppers can customise the brand’s designs to their exact preferences—change the neck style, depth, sleeve length, garment length, fabric, and more on anything in its array of clothes.
The brand’s product sizing is customisable (for womenswear: bust size range 26″-70″, waist size range 19″-63″, including petite, regular, and tall heights; and for menswear: chest size 34″ to 76″ and above with free custom sizing) to ensure you always find the perfect fit. There’s a kids range (bust: 18″-28″, waist: 19″-26″) available too.

Underprotection
Underprotection is a Danish brand combining ethics and aesthetics, creating underwear, loungewear, and swimwear from lower-impact materials like organic cotton. All of its packaging, paper, and polybags are either recycled or biodegradable, and it only works with certified factories as it believes “fair working conditions and fair wages are human rights”. Underprotection exists to celebrate women of all kinds, and its goal is to make them feel as beautiful and comfortable as possible.

Sorella Organics
Australian brand Sorella’s certified organic sleepwear range includes tops, pants, wraps, nighties, as well as maternity wear. The label’s founder Anna McGregor has a background in international human rights work.

Best of all, purchasing the clothing won’t make you cry over your bank balance.

Subset (Knickey)
Above-Belly Brief – Ships internationally from the US
Made in a Fairtrade certified factory, US brand Subset’s organic cotton underwear sets are some of the best in the responsible fashion market. Taking it a step further, the brand has also partnered with an NYC non-profit to recycle old undergarments, turning the fibres into insulation and rug pads. Sending in your old undies will not only help cut down on the amount of fibres that wind up in the landfill, but it’ll give you the freedom to buy new, responsibly made sets.
Find most items in sizes 2XS-4XL.
