10 Best Maternity Tights UK 2024 | Mamalicious, John Lewis and More

As well as their superior quality and softness, these tights have two stand-out features. The first is that they'll grow as you glow, thanks to a specially shaped knitted front panel that'll expand and fit your bump. 

During pregnancy, your feet can become longer and wider, not to mention they can become swollen. Luckily, these tights have reinforced toes for additional comfort during these special months of pregnancy. For a well-made pair that'll last your whole pregnancy, look no further.

Let's face it – one pair isn't always enough, especially if you're wearing a lot of skirts or dresses during pregnancy. Here's a pack of two tights so you'll have one to wash and one to wear. Plus, you can get them in two different colours to match different outfits!

These thick, legging-style tights have a massive 19% elastane and an adjustable waistband cord, so they'll fit you well whether you're 8 months in or a couple of months post-partum. They're pretty affordable too, so why not stock up with a few to see you through your pregnancy? 

The last thing you want when pregnant is a pair of tights that dig into your skin and cause discomfort. These tights have a soft waistband that will cradle your belly but won't dig in or irritate your skin. 

Made with care from high-quality Italian materials, they won't sag or lose their shape once you've worn them a few times, making for a good fit that will last the whole of your pregnancy. These silky soft tights also come in a few stylish colours including camel, brown and grey. 

Remember what we said earlier about semi-sheer tights? That's right, they're a great alternative to sheer tights if you'd like something a bit sturdier. This pair will maintain their invisible look, only they won't ladder so easily. 

These tights have a wide elastic band and a generous 15% elastane, so they won't put too much pressure on your belly either. This makes them ideal for larger baby bumps as your pregnancy progresses. A top buy!

Opaque tights in lighter colours are a great idea for those between-season days, as they won't absorb as much heat as black. With this pair from Calzitaly, you get to have fun with a great range of shades too. 

The soft yarn and stretchy support are designed to accommodate your bump for your entire pregnancy, and they feature a flat seam design that won't dig in or leave marks on your belly. The addition of a cotton gusset will also keep you cool and comfy. 

These tights from popular maternity brand Mamalicious come in a pack of two, which is great if you wear them often. If you're pulling them on them every day, you're more likely to hole them, plus, you'll have something to wear whilst the others are in the wash!

If you want to wear your tights on warmer days, this ultra-soft pair are a good pick. They're 50 denier so they aren't too thick and warm, but they're durable enough that they won't ladder too easily. 

These tights have a high-rise and stretchy waistband that will adjust to your body, making them a comfortable choice that'll last from bump to baby. The footless design makes a nice change style-wise and actually means they'll stay up better than ordinary maternity tights! 

The quality is great and they're soft to touch with just the right amount of sheer coverage. The fabric is also made from a recycled polyamide blend, so you'll be doing your bit for the environment by choosing these, too. 

These tights are an inexpensive option that is ideal if you're trying to save money for when your little one arrives. Kids can be expensive, so you have to make cutbacks somewhere! They come in a few colours with some darker options, so you're sure to find a skin tone match.

It's worth noting that there is a visible seam that goes up the middle of the tights, which could cause some discomfort and look messy. Nevertheless, they still offer good quality at a reasonable price.

Your legs might tingle, swell and feel tired whilst you're pregnant. These tights have a light compression, which stimulates blood circulation to ease help you feel more comfortable. They also have reinforced toes for extra support and better durability. 

Although they have some unique features that aid comfort, the fabric is not as soft as some, which could become irritating if you're wearing them for long periods. These tights may be best reserved for shorter trips out.

Are you fed up with thin tights that ladder easily? When you're saving for your newborn, the last thing you want is to be replacing your tights every day. This 120 denier pair are sturdy and thick so they're a great choice for winter, too. 

Although they do have an elasticated waistband and a fair bit of elastane, they have been reported to slip down under some women's bumps, especially when doing a lot of walking. With that in mind, these are probably better during the early months of pregnancy.
