15 Best Maternity Sweaters to Stay Cozy All Winter

Although there are plenty of sweaters specifically designed for maternity wear, don’t overlook the non-maternity sweaters, either. These can be great to wear both during and after pregnancy, and this cardigan is the perfect example. It looks great unbuttoned, making it a perfect companion for an expanding belly. Pair it with your favorite fitted tank top and leggings for a casual chic vibe. Of course, it can be buttoned up as well, which would perfectly show off a fitted turtleneck.

This elegant maternity tunic is a perfect blend of trendy and comfy. The cashmere-like knit fabric and side ruching give it an effotlessly chic feel that’ll jazz up any excursion. Lots of reviewers love that the sweater extends to the upper thigh, which they say make it a great choice to wear with leggings (hello, comfort and style!).

Hoodie lovers will swear by this zip-up with a soft fleece inside and built-in thumb holes. It’s made with stretchy side panels, meaning it’ll fit as your bump grows. Once baby arrives, the front of the hoodie easily fits over a carrier or baby sling, making colder weather walks so much cozier. You don’t have to toss it when your baby starts to grow, either — it doesn’t scream “maternity,” so you can get plenty of post-baby seasons out of it. Mom and baby will appreciate the cotton exterior and fleece-like lining.
