The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.
Our team has worn and researched sustainable fashion for a decade, so we asked the moms on our team for their favorite organic, eco-friendly, and ethical maternity brands.
Bodies change during pregnancy. As a person’s belly and baby grow, so too must their wardrobe — just one of the many ways a pregnant person can hope to remain comfortable for all nine months!
Whether you’re in your first trimester or well into your postpartum days, the following eco-friendly clothing brands offer comfortable and organic maternity clothes. Best yet, the brands are still cute and prioritize (sustainable) fashion!
Why choose sustainable maternity wear?
Choosing sustainable maternity wear supports environmental conservation by using eco-friendly materials and production processes that reduce waste and pollution. Sustainable fabrics like organic cotton, bamboo, and recycled materials are often used, which are gentler on the skin and safer for both the mother and baby. Additionally, sustainable maternity wear tends to be of higher quality and durability, ensuring that the clothes last longer and can be reused post-pregnancy or passed on to others. This not only saves money in the long run but also promotes a culture of recycling and reducing waste.
Moreover, many sustainable brands focus on ethical labor practices, ensuring fair wages and safe working conditions for their workers, thus supporting social sustainability. Overall, investing in eco-friendly maternity wear aligns with values of sustainability, health, and ethical consumption, making it a conscientious choice for expectant mothers!
Our criteria:
Our team has 10+ years of experience wearing and researching sustainable clothing brands — so with multiple moms on our team, we know a thing or two about sustainable maternity wear. For this guide, we’ve compiled brands that are organic, eco-friendly, and ethical without losing sight of wearability. Don’t worry, they’re all comfy, affordable, and durable too.
- ORGANIC | The brands on this list all use certified organic fabrics so you can keep yourself and your budding family healthy and protected from harsh chemicals.
- ECO-FRIENDLY | These maternity wear makers are all conscious of their impact on the environment — from thoughtfully sourcing materials to low-waste manufacturing. And they have the third-party credentials to back it up, so you know you’re doing your part to protect the environment for your little one.
- ETHICALLY PRODUCED | All of the brands on this list are committed to fair labor practices and transparent factory conditions.
- AFFORDABLE | Motherhood is expensive — so we’ve included affordable options on this list. Many of the items can also be worn before, after, and during pregnancy so the cost per wear is low.
- DURABLE | The items featured on this list are durable and will look great even after many washes, one less thing to worry about.

Customer Review | “My favorite summer maternity tank. I’m in Texas, so it gets very hot, but this tank is very breathable and comfortable. I’m glad I sized up because the last thing I want to wear is something form fitting. This is lightly loose on me and extremely comfortable.
