Maternity Skirted Leggings with Side Pocket Over-Bump Yoga Pants

Want the comfort of leggings without feeling like you're wearing only leggings?

There's a point in every pregnancy where leggings become the only thing that fits, and also the thing you feel self-conscious leaving the house in. These maternity skirted leggings solve both at once: a soft cropped legging with a short skirt attached at the waist, so you get the coverage of a skirt over the hips and bottom without the faff of pulling two pieces on. The V-shaped waistband sits over the bump without compressing it, and there's a hidden pocket on the side that takes a phone. You get dressed once and you're done.

It's made in a soft air-cotton knit with four-way stretch, thin enough to layer under a coat but with enough body that it doesn't cling or go sheer when you sit. The skirt is cut with a gentle flare so it skims rather than clings, and the legging underneath is cropped just above the ankle — the length that works with trainers, boots or bare feet. The waistband is the part that matters most: a wide V-shaped panel that rises over the bump and stretches as you grow, instead of a flat band that presses across the middle.

Features & Benefits

Most maternity leggings ask you to choose between comfort and feeling put together. This pair doesn't, and that's the whole point of the attached skirt. The waistband grows with you from the second trimester onward, the pocket saves you carrying a bag on short trips, and the size range runs from M all the way to 4XL — a range most UK maternity brands simply don't offer. Expect a pair you can wear to a coffee, to a nursery visit and to a stretch class without changing.

• Attached skirt overlay — the coverage of a two-piece outfit, pulled on as one.
• V-shaped over-bump waistband — rises over the bump and stretches with it, no band pressing across your middle.
• Hidden side pocket — deep enough for a phone, tissues or keys.
• Soft air-cotton knit — four-way stretch with enough weight to stay opaque.
• Sizes M to 4XL — a genuine extended range, not an afterthought.

V-shaped over-bump waistband

The waistband is cut into a V at the front so it rises over the bump rather than cutting across it. Because it's knitted with high stretch rather than elasticated, it holds the leggings up through the day without the digging or rolling that ends most maternity leggings' useful life by month seven.

Hidden side pocket

Set into the side seam beneath the skirt, so it holds a phone securely without printing through the fabric or bouncing when you walk. Small thing, enormous difference when you're carrying a bump and a toddler and have run out of hands.

Skirt overlay that skims, not clings

The skirt is attached at the waistband and cut with a soft flare through the hip, so it falls away from the body instead of gripping it. It gives you coverage over the bottom and thighs — the reason most people reach for a long top over leggings — without the extra layer riding up all day.

Four colourways, sizes M to 4XL

Starry Black and Heather Grey are the everyday pairs; Misty Blue and Berry Purple are there for when you're tired of wearing dark colours for nine months straight. All four run the full size range, so the extended sizes aren't limited to black the way they usually are.

How to Use

Step in and pull up as one piece, then draw the V-panel up and over your bump so the point of the V sits above the fullest part. Settle the skirt so the side seams — and the pocket — sit flat on your hips. The knit stretches a long way, so most people stay in the same size right through pregnancy; if you're between sizes or already in your third trimester, size up. Cold gentle machine wash and dry flat, since heat is what kills the stretch in a knit like this.

Size Guide

Go by your pre-pregnancy hip measurement. Each waist and hip figure below is a range: the lower number is the relaxed measurement, the higher number is how far the knit comfortably stretches. Pick the size where your measurement sits comfortably inside the range rather than at the very top of it, and if you're between sizes or already in your third trimester, size up.

Leg length is the full outside length from waistband to hem. Front rise runs 28–33 cm and back rise 38–43 cm across the range. Measurements are approximate.
