11 Maternity Coats That’ll Keep You Warm Without Making You Sweat

Versatility is truly the key with this cozy Seraphine winter parka, which earned our best overall pick because of its long-lasting design and excellent quality that keeps you warm. The 3-in-1 style is suitable for every stage of pregnancy, as you can wear this coat with a small bump and then add the zip-on panel for your third trimester and postpartum baby-wearing. Many new moms raved about the extender panel which can be attached to your jacket for enough room to hold baby in a carrier against your chest. It's also windproof and water-resistant, making it great if you live somewhere windy and damp. And the drawstring ties at the waist and hem allow you to maintain a fitted look as your bump grows. This is a great middle-of-the-road coat too as it's warm enough for chilly climates but you won't feel overly bundled up as you can in some puffer jackets. Use it for multiple seasons to get the most amount of wear.

Modern Eternity's Gianna Maternity Puffer Jacket covers many of the bases for style, comfort and versatility. This puffer includes a 3-in-1 design, with a removable panel that accommodates either a baby bump or a baby in a carrier so you'll get multiple seasons of wear out of it. It's also waterproof to help keep you dry on snowy or rainy days, and it can easily be machine washed so you won't have a problem keeping it looking like new. Anyone who lives in windy places will also like the drawstring hood so you can pull it tight and keep your head warm.

Moms-to-be appreciated how much space this puffer has in the torso, with some not needing to use the extender for quite a while. As far as sizing goes, Modern Eternity recommends buying your pre-pregnancy size, which reviewers say is accurate.

What to Expect community members love Smallshow's nursing clothes, and the brand's maternity jacket is also pretty clutch. The hoodie-style maternity jacket is made with a soft, polar fleece that'll see you comfortably through multiple seasons. It's soft to the touch and easy to move in, and many moms like that it's great for day-to-day wear, as well as outdoor activities like trips to the park or zoo.

If you're someone who lives in a place where temperatures don't get too low or you need a spring or fall jacket, this lightweight fleece is a smart pick. While it's obviously great for wearing to accommodate your growing bump, many new moms found it especially comfortable for baby-wearing, due to the flexible fleece. The downside is that the extender panel is sold separately, but even with it added on, the total price of the jacket is still at a lower price point than other coats.

For a lightweight option to wear while running errands on a cool day, this Old Navy Maternity Full-Zip Sherpa Jacket will be comfortable, soft and provide just the right amount of warmth. It's designed to be roomy all over, especially around your bump, so you can layer a sweater underneath if you want to. Many reviewers loved the cozy sherpa-style and found the material warm. And, you'll find yourself wearing it post-pregnancy, too, as it's not obviously maternity wear. 

A great jacket extender is a smart solution for the mom-to-be who doesn't want to purchase a new maternity coat. The MakeMyBellyFit Jacket Extender attaches to your existing coat or jacket for a roomier fit to accommodate your growing belly, but it's also great for baby-wearing as it allows plenty of space for baby in a carrier. It's also great for multi-season use, since you can attach it to raincoats, winter puffers, light fleece jackets and more. Although it is expensive, it will be cost-effective for many in the long-run if you use it for multiple types of coats and seasons.

Several moms who live in especially cold locations, like Chicago to Canada, raved about this extender for allowing them to continue wearing their existing high-performance winter coats. What's great about this extender, too, is that after baby is born, both parents can take turns using it to hold baby in a carrier and keep you both warm, thanks to the polar fleece design.

Just keep in mind that while the zipper converter does work on most coats, it won't work on Metaluxe zippers, so double check your winter jacket before 

Although it's not a dedicated maternity coat, the Orolay Sherpa Jacket is beloved by the WTE community. Moms-to-be consistently rave about its warmth, roominess for pregnancy and versatility to be worn post-pregnancy, as well. The exterior features large pockets and cozy sherpa material, while the inside is super warm and spacious to accommodate your growing belly. The side panel has a few buttons which can be tightened or let out for a snugger or roomier fit, respectively. And there are also side zips at the hem. Though it’s not maternity specific, many pregnant people say they prefer it to dedicated maternity jackets.

If you're shopping for plus-size maternity coats, look no further than UK-based brand Yours Clothing. They have a variety of options, including parkas and puffers with sizes available up to 28. This Bump It Up Maternity Parka in particular has a soft outer cotton shell and polyester lining that keeps you warm without being bulky and uncomfortable. We also like that it includes a drawstring waistband so you can easily adjust the shape throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period. The roomy faux fur-rimmed hood will also keep your head warm, while the casual style is great when you're looking for an easy, lightweight option.

Size range: 10 - 28

Material: Cotton, polyester

There's no denying how absolutely warm and toasty some puffer jackets can be, but there's also no denying some of them can look (and feel!) bulky and less than flattering. One puffer that manages to maintain a level of warmth with a surprisingly sleek fit is Ingrid & Isabel's Maternity Grow With You Puffer Jacket. In addition to the relaxed silhouette, the puffer jacket is designed to grow with your body: You can unzip the sides to give yourseld eight more inches of room! Because of this, it runs fairly true to size. And it's easy to care for because you can just toss it in the washing machine. 

A cozy, chic wool coat can make even the coldest of winters a bit more bearable. This Kimi and Kai Wool Blend Maternity Duffle Coat has all the essential elements to keep you warm. The deep front pockets are sure to keep hands toasty, and the removable hood adds an extra layer of warmth. The toggle buttons are absolutely adorable, and covers up the interior zipper. While some wool coats can feel stiff, this one has a bit of movement, thanks to the a-line design that skims over your hips and growing belly. Many moms loved that this coat doesn’t look like maternity wear, providing a stylish option. Keep in mind that it does run large, as many ordered an entire size down from pre-pregnancy.

Size range: XS-L

Material: Wool

For that classic parka style, you can't go wrong with this H&M Maternity Parka. The jacket has a longer hem, hitting at the knewwss, and is perfect for chillier climates. What we really love is the addition of the elastic drawstrings at the hem, allowing you to adjust the coat for a better fit. The coat also has an elastic wasit, helping it grow with your bump. The sleeves provide just enough space so you can easily and comfortably layer a heavy sweater underneath for colder months. Yet, it's a great lightweight option for wearing during spring or fall or in areas where winters aren't too cold. 

A good down coat is important in especially cold climates, as it provides plenty of warmth and insulation. A favorite brand among the WTE community, Modern Eternity has a solid option for moms-to-be, with its lightweight 3-in-1 down maternity coat. The down and feather fill is warm without being overly bulky or stifling, instead maintaining a lightweight fit. While some puffers and down coats can be pretty shapeless, we love that this one has a defined silhouette, whether you're wearing it during pregnancy or choose to remove the extender and wear it after the baby is born. There are also a few small but important details that make it stand out, such as the elastic in the hem for extra comfort and sleeve cuffs to keep the jacket more insulated on those breezy days. And because it's a 3-in-1 maternity coat, you'll get tons of use out of it while pregnant and afterward, whether you’re wearing baby or using it as a normal coat.
