Athleisure Airport Pregnancy Outfit for Long Flights
It is essential to be comfortable and stylish while you are pregnant and traveling. Choosing the ideal airport outfit that’s both functional and stylish is key, especially when spaciousness is important on those long-haul flights. So here are my outfits geared towards maintaining comfort while pregnant in an airplane.
Lululemon Align Super-High Rise Pant This is one of my all-time fave picks even without a sale. These are full-coverage leggings that allow you enough room to contort your body into an airplane seat, and they’re great for pregnant tummies. Wear these with the Reebok Maternity Tank for comfort, and opt for a jean jacket (in place of a cardigan) to add an extra layer of style — and warmth! You will need to layer to make sure you can deal with this air con then be prepared or cold airplane!
Wear New Balance Sneakers and compression socks for increased blood flow and to prevent clots when flying. For a little more expense, I suggest Bombas or Comrad. Consider the Baby Bag by Caara for your carry-on. Not just for travel—it could grow with your baby!
I fly in airplanes on a daily basis, and travelling by air comes with all of the stress; hours standing squished neck to neck with other people or hunting down lost luggage, layovers missed and delayed flights. You can take some of that stress away by knowing and having reliable essentials that may help in all cases whether you are catching a long-haul flight to Croatia or Australia.
Trendy Travel Pregnancy Look with Jeans
It can be hard for moms-to-be to make a stylish travel outfit, but Madewell Maternity Jeans are loose and casual enough that they move freely with the body while also looking slightly dressy when paired with your favorite white button-up. This classic duo is appealing in all airport contexts, making it an ideal option for those marathon trips especially. Throw on an oversized coat and you’re set for the AC temperatures at the airport.
For shoes, Chelsea boots are a nice replacement for sneakers when going through TSA security. The boots, being simple to slip on and off are great once you hit that third trimester when every move, including putting on shoes takes the grace of Billy Elliot. Also, simple slip on shoes is definitely a win when thinking in terms of comfort.
Top off your look, obviously also with a hand bag or shoulderbag like this chic Mango one. This is both stylish and practical, so it will make an ideal bag for carrying all of your necessities for that long-haul flight. Using a close fitting pair of jeggings or comfier maternity trousers is paramount, (undoubtedly when sleeping on overnight flights ).
Even for men, loungewear can be actively stylish — think of a cozy hoodie with joggers or a sharp blazer over your favorite band tee and leather. Both managing to keep you looking dapper whilst protecting from the cold whether that be in a sort of preppy style or rather biker-esque.
Maternity Airport Outfit for Summer
If it is the middle of summer and the temperature is high or you are traveling, feel cool and be comfortable. Maternity shorts and a button up striped shirt are great options to start with. They’re a classic and instantly give any outfit—even, like, a plain t-shirt—else an upgrade. And of course to be prepared for drops and changes in temperature (cue those icy airplane A/C units), always have an oversized cardigan on hand. Instead, it adds interest and it gives you an easy way to layer without having to pack additional sweaters for the inevitable fluctuations between airpot/ump outside heat.
Also don’t be too good to go in sneakers, but for shoes do not be afraid of birkenstock. They’re comfy, convenient and hands-free (plus easy to take off for security). Style with gold jewelry and a sleek Stevie backpack for a comfortable option that will take you anywhere during your summer travels.
For those that lean towards dresses there are tiered maxi dresses with shirred detail. It’s breezy, loose and is great for warm weather. Now for a cool layer, add bling with a denim shirt-star of the season devore t-shirt (100 % polyester) and sandals. This will ensure that you look chic and be comfortable when you land to kick start your holiday!
Neutral Pregnancy Travel Look
Traveling pregnant — this is the one, oversized cocoon crewneck. it’s cushy, looks chic as ever, and is so versatile. It is another convenient option that you can use during the time of your pregnancy as well as after giving birth to your little one. The oversized fit will leave you with room to breathe and makes it perfect for post-baby wear too. Style your fave oversized knit with faux leather leggings for the win. Pair a loose-knit sweater with shiny, skinny leggings to give your travel ensemble an extra trendy boost.
On the footwear front, Chelsea boots are an easy slip-on/ slippy off option for maximum comfort. So minimalistic, super comfy and stylish whether you go for black or brown. A shopper bag in leather is the bow that binds all of that together for a perfect personal bag, containing the bare essentials you need as an individual. It has ample space for your lifestyle needs, and manages not to compromise on style.
Remember, you can easily elevate this look with simple touches like layering or by using a scarf. You need to feel all fresh and comfy tip toeing the airport that will make you actually enjoy your next destination.
Simple Maternity Airport Travel Outfit
One-piece garments such as jumpsuits are some of the best outfits to wear while traveling at them seem stylish and comfortable during pregnancy. You can slip it on without much thought into an easy to throw on one-size-fits-most-pajamas look very quickly, yet appear impeccably tailored. Throw on a jean jacket to stay cozy and style with a knit black maternity jumpsuit. Cloud 5 Running Shoes (3rd Trimester): Slips on and off with no need to tie laces Throw in a pop of color with a tote to carry all your essentials for those speedy TSA lines.
Just keep in mind that when you think of comfort, make sure you have a good supportive pair of shoes on your feet. Wearing Tennis shoes will take the pressure off your feet from all that rushing and long lines in the airport. The jean jacket, over and above providing you some sort of sleeve for your arms also mildly thickens you without making you weigh a ton more. It offers the best of both worlds, it is practical for a family holiday but can be dressed up for a romantic couples retreat.
Packing for a vacation is always a balance that we try to strike between all day comfort, style and convenience… even more so since I was going to be traveling pregnant. No matter if it’s on the long-haul flight or those drives that feel even longer– this fit belongs in any well appointed style guide. You will travel prepared and in style, comfortable and secure no matter which way the wind blows.
