Does anyone still wear maternity clothes?

I'm interested to know if other (non-pregnant) MNers ever wear maternity clothes, or is that just weird?

I'm throwing out most of mine but there's a few things I think I might keep. I don't think they're obviously maternity but of course they're cut a bit more generously at the front, and I don't want people thinking I'm pregnant again/still.

And as for the tights, I find the maternity sort so much comfier I'm not sure I ever want to go back...

I've just realised I'm wearing a maternity polo neck today - it's been lurking in the drawer since I was pregnant last winter. It's plain black in a stretch fabric and doesn't look particularly baggy at the front so I think I can get away with it. I've also kept the maternity tights and leggings as I love the high waistband!

Oh god, I’m still in mine! The embarrassment in seeing them on the line is offset by the comfort level.

I agree with leggings and tights. I wasn’t going to go back to jeans tbh but the seraphine post-maternity ones are excellent and really comfy

Ha, no judgment from me!! They were insanely comfy but I think after both pregnancies, once I was recovered from birth, I needed to feel like ‘me’ again and frankly it was the only thing I had the energy to do! I’m 5m post DS now and fighting the urge to throw out all the clothes I own in a giant identity crisis..

Maternity tights are the best, don't fall down and much warmer. Still wear white maternity work shirts that are just roomier over the bust and more forgiving over a tummy. Oh and I bought a coat that was technically maternity but just a cape coat that is great when wearing a thickest jumper

I have donated all the rest now though as needed the excuse to get some new more up to date stuff
