I'm 27 Weeks Pregnant, and These Are the Workout Clothes I'd Wear
Yep, I guess I forgot to mention it until now—in my defense, there has been a lot going on—but I am, in fact, a whopping 27 weeks pregnant today, and my first order of business as a newly informed maternity shopper is to share my findings on the best clothes for working out in. While for me, "working out" has mostly consisted of biweekly yoga and daily brisk walks over the last five or so months, I think the fact that I’ve actually spent 90% of my time in athleticwear as of late makes up for my lack of actual activity. In short, trust me—I’ve spent a lot of time in this stuff.
On that note, below you’ll find the tops, bras, shorts, leggings, and even one bonus dress that I’ve personally tested out myself, are similar to pieces I own, or have the customer reviews to back them up. In some cases, it’s a combo of more than one qualifier, and in all cases, I stand by my findings! So if you're in the market for cool, comfortable, and functional activewear (both from the maternity section and not), just keep scrolling to shop all 24 of my picks.
According to a handful of my previously pregnant friends, Amazon is your friend when it comes to finding affordable maternity basics such as shorts, leggings, and tanks. These shorts (which also have convenient pockets) have solid reviews, and I love the cut and color.
Next: I'm 5'2", and these are my favorite swimsuits right now.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
