What was your fave item of maternity wear?

I mean a specific item, not "I lived in my mat leggings". I have all the mat clothes in terms of basics (third pregnancy) but there is nothing I really love.

It's casual t-shirts/bottoms/dresses really. I don't have trouble fitting into normal jumpers so I don't buy maternity specific ones.

I want to put something on and love it! So much mat wear is stripes and I am bored of stripes. Did you have a top or bottoms which you actually loved style-wise?

I had some lovely dresses from Seraphine which were great for work.

Idk if you’re on TikTok as I brought quite a lot stuff off TikTok shop. But I got quite a lot of onesie type things and it was super comfy!

I love my Beyond Nine Ottie dungarees, but depends on your style. I think H&M have some quite nice maternity stuff at the moment

I had a strapless maxi dress with a shirred (is that the right word? Ruched and stretchy) top. At the bottom was palm trees and it got more sunsetty as it reached the top. I felt amazing in it!
Otherwise I had a wonder woman t-shirt I loved, from a Spanish shop called PreNatal

No stripes. Most of my stuff came from H&M.

I have thoroughly searched H&M, Next (includes Seraphine), George.

Seraphine does have some more bold prints, but they are all on the flouncy dresses, which won't work for my day to day casual style. All the tops/t-shirts at Seraphine and the other stores are either plain (usually a choice of black brown white) or stripey.

I suppose I'm looking for tops which are either

  • plain in more interesting colours, with features like buttons on the shoulder or something
  • in a print, but not stripes
