Your Maternity Wardrobe Game-Changer: The Perfect Work Capsule

The Best Work Clothes for Pregnancy and Nursing
(Because You Deserve to Feel Like a Boss While Growing a Human)
November 14, 2024

Alright, let’s talk about it: you’re pregnant and still doing the daily grind at work. You’ve got enough on your plate without having to worry about pants that dig, blouses that pinch, or dresses that have you constantly fussing with zippers and fabric. Let’s get you clothes that work as hard as you do—whether you’re at the office, on a Zoom call, or just surviving that third-trimester glow (a.k.a. “glow, but make it sweat”).

Enter MARION Maternity—a brand that makes stylish workwear for people who want to feel comfortable, look professional, and have a little room to breathe. These clothes are designed to grow with you, carry you through pregnancy, and support you if you’re nursing. Here are some MARION essentials that will take you from the start of your journey to motherhood all the way through those early, “I’m back, baby!” work days.

The Power of the Blazer

Black maternity blazer suit jacket in luxury Italian stretch suiting fabric. Empire waist pant suit separates for your best pregnancy, breastfeeding, and postpartum fit. Petite and regular sizes. 38% sustainable recycled fibers. Also sold by Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, and Macy's maternity.    

Let’s start with the blazer, because we all need one good power piece in the wardrobe rotation. The Nathalie Maternity Blazer is no ordinary blazer, my friends. It’s made from Italian stretch suiting fabric (fancy!), which basically means it can flex with you without looking, well, stretchy. It’s got an empire waist and side panels, giving it some magical ability to fit well both during pregnancy and after. Need a blazer that won’t look like it’s giving up halfway through the day? This is it. And bonus: it’s made with recycled fibers, so it’s also good for the planet. Because yes, you’re a mother now—you’re saving the Earth for that little one!

The Dream Trousers: Nathalie Wide Leg Black Maternity Trousers

For those of you who love a good pair of trousers but hate the idea of maternity pants that sag after two wears, behold the Nathalie Wide Leg Black Maternity Trousers. These pants have the same Italian stretch fabric as the blazer, which means they’re smooth, professional, and forgiving. They sit right under the belly, but still manage to keep everything in place with a wide waistband that doesn’t feel restrictive. They pair perfectly with the Nathalie Blazer, so you’ve got a ready-made suit that looks sharp and feels like pajamas (I mean, who doesn’t want that?).

All About the Boardroom Maternity & Nursing Dress

 

If you’re more of a dress person, I’ve got good news. The Boardroom Maternity & Nursing Dress is exactly what you need to pull off that classic office look without sacrificing one iota of comfort. It’s got nursing access (sneaky little zippers!), which is a lifesaver if you’re heading back to work but still need to nurse or pump. The fabric has enough structure to look professional but enough stretch to keep you comfortable. And the best part? It works for every stage of pregnancy and beyond. Wear it now, wear it later—it’s the dress that keeps on giving.

Top Off Your Look with the Short Sleeve Satin Maternity Shell Top

 

Layers are life when you’re going through maternity, and MARION knows it. The Short Sleeve Satin Maternity Shell Top is a lovely satin blouse that slips right under your Nathalie Blazer or stands alone beautifully. It’s got a nursing zip, because if you’re breastfeeding, you don’t want to fight with your outfit every time it’s time to pump. It’s a simple piece, but it goes a long way, making you look polished and put-together (even if you barely managed a shower that morning). You deserve it, mama.

For the Skirt Lovers: Sloan Maternity Pencil Skirt

Now, if nothing suits you quite like a skirt, don’t worry, MARION has you covered. The Sloan Maternity Pencil Skirt has that sleek pencil-skirt look with a fit that grows with you. It’s made from the same Italian stretch suiting fabric as the blazer and trousers, which means it’s got the same combination of style, durability, and comfort. The waistband has gentle support, so you won’t feel like it’s digging in, and you can pair it with any of MARION’s tops or the blazer. Now you can look like a million bucks, no matter what trimester you’re in.

Building Your Perfect MARION Capsule Wardrobe

With just a few of these MARION pieces, you’re ready to rock a capsule wardrobe that will carry you through the workweek. Here’s a sample lineup for a complete look:

Each piece is designed to keep you comfortable, looking professional, and, most importantly, feeling like yourself. Motherhood doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice style or function at work. So go ahead and show them who’s boss—pregnant or not, you’re more than ready.
