7 FOR ALL MANKIND

They’re definitely pricey, but Sevens received a perfect ten from our readers. Receiving the most votes for their comfort, style and longevity, you told us they are worth every penny and then some. One mom told us her Sevens made her “feel like a rock star,” while one enterprising mom sold hers on eBay after her pregnancy for “a ridiculous amount of money…even with several small holes in the waistband.” Now that’s a good return on an investment.

Favorite styles:

The Underbelly Bootcut Jean in a medium blue wash ($175) takes you from day to evening effortlessly, while the versatile Dojo Wide Leg Jean ($210) gives you a more relaxed look while still being sexy.

PAIGE PREMIUM DENIM

New to the market and giving Sevens a run for their money is Paige Premium Denim, a hit with celebrity moms like Mariska Hargitay and real moms alike. Why so popular? The dark washes flatter your figure, while the slight stretch makes them extra comfortable. But the main reason why moms love them is the butt-lifting action of the back pockets. As one mom explained, “It’s not just my belly that needs support. My backside needs a lift, too, and these jeans do it.”

Favorite Styles:

The long and lean cut Laurel Canyon Jean ($179) makes legs look longer, while the bootcut style of the Robertson Stretch Jean ($189) balances out the expectant silhouette.

HABITUAL

The sexy underbelly fit and low rise cut makes these jeans a favorite among fashionistas with bumps. Even from behind, you’ll get attention with Habitual’s signature cross design on the back pockets. One reader says, “It was expensive, but even my husband likes the way I look in them.” And if there’s ever a time to splurge on celebrity-favorite jeans (Angelina Jolie, Katie Holmes and Heidi Klum wore Habitual during their pregnancies), now’s the best time to get away with it.

Favorite Styles:

Knocked Up Jeans ($186): the name alone gets your attention, but the elastic waist and modern fit make this the must-have maternity jean for style-savvy moms.

GAP

Budget-conscious readers who are putting money aside for junior’s college fund instead of donning designer denim are turning to Gap Maternity. Says one reader, “Why pay hundreds of dollars for something I’m only going to wear a few months? At this price I can get more than one pair without breaking the bank.” Point taken—Gap has more and more designer-looking denim for a fraction of the cost. Another reason why moms love Gap is the different length options for petite and taller frames. One reader tells us, “I’m short, and it’s hard to find jeans that fit. Being pregnant makes it even harder, but my Gap jeans fit really well.”

Favorite Styles:

The versatile tummy panel on the Dark Rinse City Fit Jeans ($68) allows you to wear it under or over your belly, and it’s available in size 0-20 in ankle, regular and long lengths. For those who want additional tummy support, try Gap’s full-tummy panel Fabulous Jeans ($68).

MOTHERHOOD PLUS SIZE

Have some junk in the trunk and looking for stylish and flattering plus-size maternity jeans? Fear not because Motherhood Maternity understands that real women have curves, and they have hip maternity jeans that look anything but matronly. Featuring all-around belly bands to fit comfortably over your belly accommodating sizes up to 3X (or 26-28), plus-sized moms-to-be can feel good about themselves in these jeans. One reader said her Motherhood Jeans made her feel sexy even though she had blossomed into a size 1X. Her tip? “I just cut off the tags and removed all the evidence.”

Favorite Styles:

The Plus Size Motherhood Ring Spun Jean ($44.98) lends extra give with the slight stretch of its fabric, while the cropped American Star Vintage Dream ($44.98) is a breezy find for warmer days.

BELLA BAND

No matter what your size, style or shape, you gave Ingrid and Isabel’s Maternity Bella Bands the thumbs up. Wear them over your favorite pre-prego jeans (unbuttoned) to get a few extra weeks out of them, or wear them over your designer low-riders when you’re feeling a little over-exposed. However way you choose to wear it, you’ll benefit from the extra support while achieving a chic, layered look.

Favorite Styles:

Original Bella Band ($26)
Lace Trim Bella Band ($30)
