Top 10 Maternity Jean Shorts

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: Thanks to the genius side panels that adapt to your growing bump, this style lets you rock the denim shorts you know and love without sacrificing style. You can wear them all pregnancy long, and even better, they ring up at just $30 a pop.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW: You can pick these up in four other washes—white included—and believe us, you're going to want to.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: These classic denim shorts boast a smooth and comfy waistband that stretches high above the bump for a full-pregnancy fit. They're also made with stretch denim, so they're easily some of the comfiest maternity jean shorts on the list.

USER REVIEW: "I have never loved a pair of shorts so much, maternity or otherwise, than these shorts! I ordered at least 20 different pairs and could not find anything that would stay up, felt comfortable, and didn't look saggy until these. They have so much stretch but still look more like denim versus jegging material."

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: According to reviewers, these maternity denim shorts hit the sweet spot when it comes to fit—they're loose enough for a relaxed fit but tight enough to keep from looking frumpy. To top it all off, the belly band is incredibly comfortable.

WHO IT'S FOR: If you struggle to find shorts that don't squeeze your bum or thighs, look no further.

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: There are so many reasons to love these shorts. The cutoff style, the comfy over-the-bump band, the sustainable denim made of recycled plastic bottles—the list goes on. Grab yourself a pair, and you'll see what we mean.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW: The panel on this pair of shorts crisscrosses in the back for a breezy feel, making them an excellent choice for hot summer days.

WHO IT'S FOR: If you're looking to splurge, you can't go wrong with The Ozzie from Joe's Jeans. A shorter version of the brand's beloved Lara Bermuda Short, they have an ultra-soft, lived-in feel and the kind of effortlessness you'd expect from a vintage pair you DIY'ed.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW: These run a little small, so we recommend sizing up if you're between sizes.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: The V-shaped band on these denim shorts allows for an under-the-bump fit that doesn't add pressure or stress to the belly. Sitting, standing, walking—this pair is comfortable through and through.

STYLE WITH: Add an oversized t-shirt and white sneakers for an effortless summertime look.

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: Hatch is the crème de la crème of maternity brands, so it's no surprise these classic denim shorts have made their way to the top of this list. Perfectly slouchy with the brand's signature grow-with-you bamboo/spandex wedge, they're fully worth the splurge.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW: These have a stylish stacked hem (shorter in the front and longer in the back), making them some of the most non-maternity-like shorts on the list.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: Reviewers rave about these chic, distressed maternity denim shorts for their ability to fit through it all—we're talking pre-pregnancy to 36 weeks, twins and all.

USER REVIEW: "Best maternity shorts! I have been struggling to find comfortable maternity shorts that fit. I’m expecting twins very soon, and my expanding belly made this difficult. These shorts delivered. They’re awesome and extremely comfortable."

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: Meet the Goldilocks of maternity shorts. Raved about for their not-too-long-but-not-too-short length and just-right fit, you'll be turning to these shorts for every outfit come spring and summer.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW: Reviewers say these shorts run small, so we recommend sizing up for the best fit.

WHO IT'S FOR: If you prefer a fitted look, opt for these classic Levi's shorts. Complete with a cozy tummy panel, they'll give you the shortie-short vibe you crave without constricting your bump.

USER REVIEW: "This is my first pregnancy, and I wasn't wanting to wear just dresses for summer but didn't want to wear frumpy maternity clothes either. These shorts are so comfy, are mid to upper thigh in length (no crotch pulling here!), AND the waist fits well enough that I don't feel like I need to pull them up like I do with a lot of maternity jeans. They fit perfectly, and they have the perfect amount of stretch in them too."
