The best maternity and postpartum clothes of 2021, according to Ovia parents and expectant parents.
What are the Ovia Family Awards?
Each year, we ask Ovia parents to vote for their favorite family products, including the retailers that offer a variety of maternity options and the brands that marry style and comfort.
This year, we collected 40,000 votes and thousands of thoughtful recommendations from parents to find the best-of-the-best, tried-and-true products worthy of an Ovia Family Award. When you see the Ovia Family Award seal, you know the product you’re buying was selected by parents who’ve used it, trust it, and can genuinely recommend it to other families.

Best maternity retailer and best maternity jeans: Target
If you’re looking for a one-stop-shop for maternity clothes, Ovia parents say look no further than Target. Besides offering a wide-range of styles and sizes, Target’s online store is a quick and easy way to find all the items you need without breaking the bank. And if you’re looking for a great pair of maternity jeans that just feel like you, Target maternity jeans are the way to go!
Here’s what Ovia parents are saying
Best maternity retailer: Target
“Stock up on their maternity tank tops, they’re AMAZING. You can wear their breastfeeding tank tops post pregnancy and you can’t even tell they were maternity.”
“I just like how convenient it is. Most Target stores have maternity clothes in stock and if you need a size they don’t have, their shipping is very fast.”
Best maternity jeans: Target maternity jeans
“They fit wonderfully and are very affordable. They are also extremely comfortable.”
“They run true to size — easy returns/exchanges.”

Best maternity brand and best nursing bra: Kindred Bravely
When you’re pregnant, you still want to feel like your stylish self — and that’s why Ovia parents recommend Kindred Bravely. No need to sacrifice comfort or style, you’ll find them both here.
Kindred Bravely also won, overwhelmingly, for best nursing bra. Stay secure and comfortable in one of their wide-ranging options. Kindred Bravely Nursing Bras are ultra-soft and breathable with functional features to make your life easier. They were designed by a nursing mom, so you know they’ll check every box.

The Frida Mom Kit is for when things get real, providing you with delivery and postpartum must-haves for every step of the journey.
