7 FOR ALL MANKIND : COMFORT, STYLE, LONGEVITY

7 for all mankindThey’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:

Underbelly Bootcut Jean ($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 : BUTT-LIFTING BACK POCKETS

laurel canyon jeansNew 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 of the Laurel Canyon Jean Jean ($179) makes legs look longer, while the bootcut style of the Robertson Stretch Jeanicon ($189) balances out the expectant silhouette.

HABITUAL : SEXY UNDERBELLY FIT

habitualThe 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:

Habitual 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 : DESIGNER LOOKS AT A FRACTION OF THE COST

gapBudget-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 Gap 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 Gap Fabulous jeans ($68).
