Smart white maternity trousers

33 replies

Does anyone know where I could buy white maternity trousers? Smart ones I could wear to a wedding, not casual linen ones.Definitely not cropped!

I have two weddings to go to - one abroad and one in the UK, when I'm 4-5 months pregnant. On my first pregnancy I didn't even tell people until 6 months but this is now the third so expect to be pretty fat by then. I have a lovely floaty tunic style turquoise top and sandles so need white trousers ( black would look too dark and definitely no good for wedding abroad).

Any suggestions? Already tried the usual suspects but black seems to be the ONLY colour for smart maternity trousers

I think linen is super comfy too. But it loosk like an old dishcloth 30 secs after you put it on. And at 5 months pregnant you need well cut, tailored, preferably lined white trousers. Esp if you are very old like me

Cod - have you not listened to Trinny and Susannah? Drawstring gathered white trousers = bad idea for fat middle aged preggy woman.
