Stylist’s tip: If you splash out on just one item this season, make it a really great quality coat – it has the power to set the tone for your entire winter wardrobe.
This one is made in a really luxurious wool & cashmere blend, and the wrap design allows you to wear it throughout pregnancy & long afterwards!
Made in the softest chambray denim, this little number has plenty of attitude & is ultra-easy to wear – it even offers easy zip access for nursing at the shoulders.
Team with tights & boots for an effortless autumn look.
Two chic styles in one great dress – this little cotton dress comes with a detachable cropped jumper, which lifts up to allow easy access for breastfeeding after baby is born.
It’s the perfect piece to adapt summer’s Oxford shirt inspired trend for the new season.
A chic floral print in classic black & white, this style is ultra-flattering & feminine & offers ultra-discreet nursing access with a concealed zip at the front.
Expertly tailored to highlight the empire waist, this flattering dress is the one worn by The Duchess of Cambridge for her first official appearance with Meghan Markle at the inaugural Royal Foundation Forum.
Have fun building up your new season style mamas – we hope you love these dresses as much as we do!
Here at Seraphine, we love to work with real pregnant models – there’s nothing quite like watching our beautiful mamas’ families blossom and grow before our eyes.
This season we are thrilled to once again be working with one of our favourite models Zabeena, who recently welcomed baby number three!
Zabeena Road Tests our Latest Collection with her Girls
We have been working together with Zabeena for almost 10 years now – she has modelled for us while expecting all three of her gorgeous daughters, 8-year-old Amelia, 4-year-old Isis & her latest addition – gorgeous newborn Gabriella.
We caught up with her after our latest photoshoot together, once she’d had time to road test a few of the styles, and she shared her favourite looks from our new collection.
“I breastfed both of my older two & knew I wanted to do the same this time around if I could.
This dress looked so cute with the bump, even up to the last weeks and the nursing access is nice & easy to use – I can already tell it’s going to be one of my favourites this Autumn!”
Are you planning on babywearing when your little one arrives? If so, we’ve got something you’re going to love!
Inspired by our best-selling 3 in 1 Maternity Parkas, we are thrilled to introduce the brand new 3 in 1 Maternity Hoodie – a must-have for baby’s first autumn.
This cosy hoodie provides a flexible fit for pregnancy & comes with a zip-on kangaroo pouch to fit over your front carrier or baby sling after baby arrives. It’s designed for bump, for baby and forever.
1) For Bump
The perfect hoodie for pregnancy, ours is made with extra stretch and designed to zip up over the bump throughout your nine months.
Once baby arrives, simply strap on your front carrier or baby sling, then zip on the detachable kangaroo pouch. The hoodie makes the perfect partner for a Baby K’tan Sling and one of our stylish baby changing bags!
Hold your little one close & the babywearing hoodie will keep you both cosy on outdoor adventures.
3) Forever
The ultimate in easy luxury, you’ll be reaching for this cosy hoodie long after your little one has outgrown the baby carrier!
Team it with leggings and an easy tee for relaxing at home, or throw it on with your favourite jeans & boots for effortless everyday style.
This chic hoodie will take you & your little one from weekday errands & coffee shop trips to sunny Sunday strolls in the country – it’s a must-have for the coming cooler weather.
Offering amazing comfort & head-turning style, our little off the shoulder dress is another style that you can dress down for the daytime or style up for the evening – a huge advantage when packing space is limited!
Featuring statement sleeves and feminine embroidery, this dress is utterly on trend.
And of course, let’s not forget Séraphine’s hometown! London has some stunning locations to offer, and this mama is making the most of a brief moment of sunshine for a stroll with her son.
She looks absolutely gorgeous in one of our spring knits.
We’d like to say a big thanks to all the stylish mamas featured in this post:
Here at Seraphine we love to see you stylish mamas having fun with fashion & rocking your Seraphine maternity clothes. This week we thought we’d share a little styling inspiration from some of our favourite pregnant fashion bloggers & style influencers.
“For me, finding basicandstretchy pieces that I can style in every trimester has been a life-saver. One thing I’ve learned along the way is to avoid wearing clothes that are too baggy. Finding a happy middle ground will allow you to show off your bump while still looking/feeling super cute!”
“Any new dads out there need to get this Parka from Seraphine Maternity. Not only is it a great looking parka jacket but it also has a little extra part you can attach to the front to extend it into a baby carrier cover. I love it.”
We’d like to thank all the stylish fashion bloggers who rocked their Seraphine maternity clothes in this post:
Designers in London, Paris, New York & Milan were all in agreement this season: The cape is the must-have outerwear style. In honour of this cosy sartorial classic, here are a few of our favourite maternity capes & cover-ups to try this autumn.
A seasonal layering essential, a maternity cape should be cosy to wear and effortlessly stylish. The loose oversize fit makes it a perfect option for pregnancy, and this one even opens up to allow easy access for breastfeeding.
If you’re after a more luxurious layered up look, you can’t go wrong with our signature wrap, blending premium merino wool with cashmere. The ultra-soft style drapes beautifully over your curves, providing the perfect finishing touch to any outfit. Or why not try our chic maternity poncho, crafted in the same luxury knitted blend.
As well as a stylish maternity cape, our maternity and breastfeeding shawls make for a fantastic investment in style. Perfect for layering through pregnancy, these stylish shawls provide discreet cover for breastfeeding after baby is born.
Whether you wear it fastened at the shoulder as a chic maternity poncho, wrapped as a breastfeeding scarf or draped over your shoulders, this must-have accessory will be a constant companion through the colder months.
It’s official – Autumn is here. With the evenings drawing in and the leaves starting to turn, we love this time of year – not least because the changing season brings a whole host of new maternity fashion. Now is the perfect time to buy a brand new maternity dress… or three!
Wrap dresses are everywhere this season. Soft, flexible and super-easy to wear, the classic wrap design is a maternity fashion must-have. It allows you to adjust the fit as you grow and adapts easily for breastfeeding after baby is born. A maternity wrap dress is a go-anywhere style that your autumn wardrobe should not be without!
There’s no need to give up your floral dresses just because summer is over. This season saw some stunning autumn and winter florals coming down the catwalks, and we can’t get enough. From subtle, muted petals to bold designs in rich autumn tones, the floral trend continues in full bloom.
Designers were all in agreement this season, the colour of Autumn/Winter 2017 is red. From Max Mara to Prada, Gucci, Oscar de la Renta and many more, there was hardly a designer anywhere at fashion week who didn’t showcase a top to toe look in red. Adapt the trend for maternity fashion with one of our hot red maternity dresses!
As the weather turns colder, a stylish maternity knit dress is a must-have – it’s A comfy, cosy option, which sacrifices nothing when it comes to style! Perfect for pregnancy, a chic maternity sweater dress can be rocked alone to transition the seasons or layered up with tights & a cute jacket.

When it comes to maternity fashion, international blogger & insta-star Maya Williams certainly knows a thing or two! This week on the blog, we caught up with her at our head office in London, where she shared some of her top tips for navigating each trimester in style. Read on and watch the video for Maya’s maternity fashion tips and to see which Seraphine maternity clothes she recommends for each stage of pregnancy.

1st Trimester Maternity Fashion Must-Haves
“In my first trimester the first thing I did was run to Seraphine and get jeans. I immediately fell in love with over the bump – they’re just so comfy and they hug you in.”
Maya recommends Maternity Jeans as the essential first maternity fashion purchase. After that, it’s all about The Bump Kit – our chic maternity starter kit complete with maternity LBD, stretchy black skirt, leggings & essential white vest. And of course oversize shirts are perfect for hiding a blossoming bump through the first trimester – just be sure to team them with a slim leg style to balance out the volume.
“This is my favourite trimester. They call it the honeymoon of your pregnancy – you’ve got your energy back, you’ve told the world you’re pregnant and you can show off your bump!”
Maya recommends chic maternity dresses for the second trimester, preferring bodycon jersey dresses to show off the bump, or woven A-line dresses for a chic look.
“The cigarette pants – you can wear these for work or you can dress them up in the evening. I actually really love these, I got them in black. They hug you in, they slim you down and they really dress you up if you wear them with heels and they look nice and stylish.”
“Of course we still need to look fabulous, we still need to feel fabulous, so this is a cocktail dress that you can wear to a wedding, your baby shower, a friend’s birthday party…. I really love the pastel colour of this and the style, and the way it falls – it would really accentuate your baby bump.”
“And now I’m heading into the third trimester, which is so exciting because it means I’m going to meet my baby very soon! A lot of the pieces that you’ll invest in at this stage need to be super comfortable and versatile so that you can wear them later during your nursing.”
With Royal Ascot last week, and the Wimbledon Championships heating up next week, the summer event season is getting into full swing. Choosing an outfit for this kind of occasion can be a challenge at the best of times, but with a baby bump to think about, it can become downright tricky. That’s where we come in! This year, royal commentator & author Katie Nicholl reported from Royal Ascot, looking utterly stunning in Seraphine luxe maternity dresses. Check out her Ascot Dresses for a little maternity fashion inspiration!
“I was thrilled to be asked to be a co-presenter for ITV Racing’s coverage of Royal Ascot but there was a lot of pressure. My job was to commentate on the daily Royal Procession and so I needed to look the part. Being 33 weeks pregnant and broadcasting through the hottest June week on record since 1976 was a rather daunting prospect. I knew that I needed to feel comfortable and confident on air so I headed to Seraphine for Ascot Dresses! I felt elegant (so far as you can at 33 weeks pregnant in the sweltering heat) stylish and smart, which was really important. After all, it is Royal Ascot!”
“I chose four designs by Seraphine for Royal Ascot and made sure my looks were deliberately different each day ranging from florals to black and white polka dots to an elegant navy blue dress with white piping and a glamorous nude lace frock, my personal favourite. All the dresses looked great on camera and what I liked was that each look was very different. I love to experiment when it comes to fashion – even with a bump. Seraphine has such an eclectic collection, there really is something for everyone.”
“When I’m broadcasting I like to wear elegant fitted dresses and fortunately maternity dresses aren’t the tent like creations they used to be! I’ve tried to stick to classic designs and experiment with colours. One of the things I love about Seraphine dresses is they are so comfortable and well made.”
We love Katie’s style – she looked perfectly polished all week long in her stunning Seraphine Ascot dresses. For more summer event outfit inspiration, check out our Luxe Collection of chic formal maternity dresses and cocktail dresses – they’re perfect for looking smart in in the sun!
Katie Nicholl is an international royal commentator, author and journalist. She has written two books about the Royal Family and is currently writing her third, a biography on Prince Harry to be released next year. She lives in North London with her husband and their four year old daughter Matilda and are expecting a second baby this summer.
With spring in full swing and summer just around the corner, now is the perfect time for printed maternity dresses! This fantastic maternity fashion trend is easy-to-wear, and adapts effortlessly for any occasion, from office to evening to stylish summer parties.
Today we’re sharing a few of our favourite printed maternity dresses along with how and where to work them…
Perfect for the office, a stylish geometric print will always look smart, and is a great way to flatter a baby bump. Repeating patterns without a lot of negative space are guaranteed to look great – try our Geo Print Maternity Wrap Dress with a cute pair of shoes and shades – it’s an instant style winner.
Like the geometric prints, but with a more exotic twist, our Aztec inspired printed dresses are perfect for summer days out exploring, and a must-have for your summer holiday suitcase! Our Coral Printed Maternity & Nursing Wrap Dress is the perfect example in a breezy summer shade.
Floral Maternity Dresses
Feminine floral prints are a must-have maternity fashion trend for spring and summer – you can match the blossoms outside with some beautiful blooms of your own! A stunning option for spring weddings and summer parties – our floral maternity dresses are sure to put a spring in your step and a smile on your face.
Some women tend to be afraid of wearing stripes, but when you’re pregnant, stripes are actually a super-flattering option! Emphasizing your bump, they’re a great way to make the most of your new curves and really show off your shape! Add a belt at the empire waist to really define your figure.
Classic polka dots are always a stylish choice – whether you’re at the office, attending a smart occasion, or just out and about for a casual day around town. Polka dot prints never fail to hit the right notes. Add some statement accessories in a contrasting colour to really make the look pop!
