True to my minimalist roots, I didn’t buy more maternity clothes than absolutely necessary. This Amazon top, however, I bought in basically every color!

Best maternity tunic ever

When buying maternity clothes with minimalism in mind, it’s important to choose items that provide versatility and longevity. Without ruching on the side, this top is safe to wear early in pregnancy (during the “is she pregnant or did she have a big lunch?” stage) as well as postpartum (best known as the “fourth trimester”). However, it’s a true maternity top and I was still wearing it late in the third trimester.

It’s easily dressed up a bit to meet business casual standards, and I wore it several times with maternity jeans. And, of course, it does what every maternity shirt needs to do – it pairs perfectly with the best maternity leggings (buttery soft!)

I don’t think I ever dried it (we tend to hang dry frequently – thankful for our foldable clothes drying rack that slides right under the bed)… but the fabric washed well on a normal cycle.

I also ran across this super unique long-sleeve tunic with side zipper for a similar but warmer option! (I personally wore short sleeves throughout all my pregnancies because #hormones…)

Perfect for starting your maternity top collection or gifting to a mama-to-be. 🌿
