Maternity Summer Dresses

When the temperature starts rising, you turn to your closet and decide what needs to change. There is no place for high necks when it’s hot and you’re sporting a bump! So what do you wear instead? The only right answer is: maternity summer dresses.


Cute maternity summer dresses are the most stylish (and comfortable) option for those scorching days. We all want to feel the sun on our skin, but we also want to stay cool and protected. With loose, breathable fabric and adorable skin-baring cuts, pregnancy summer dresses give you the best of both worlds.


You might only be pregnant in the summertime once in your life! Staying comfy when it’s hot and you’re eating for two is a unique challenge many mothers don’t expect. Don’t sweat (literally)! We can help you stay cool and find the best maternity summer dresses. 

How to Dress for Pregnancy in the Summer

Summer pregnancy clothes should be loose and breathable. It’s best to wear light colors that don’t absorb heat. If you burn easily, consider opting for sleeves and other styles that cover your skin to avoid sunburn.


So, the thermometer reads over 85 degrees Fahrenheit, and your fundal height is over 29 centimeters. What do you do?


You buy casual maternity dresses for summer, that’s what you do! They check off all the boxes we just described. Here are some pointers to help you find a dress that actually helps you beat the heat.

Let it Breathe

Maternity summer dresses should always be cut from a porous cloth that allows air and moisture to pass through. This prevents heat and sweat from getting trapped around your body. Plus, it makes it easier for you to cool down.


Look for maternity summer maxi dresses made of cotton or rayon. You can find a dress in those materials here! Our maternity summer dresses are made with rayon and elastic to keep you cool and supported all day.

Let Loose

A loose maternity dress is best in the summer because it keeps heat away from your body and offers better air circulation. This is why we highly recommend maternity summer maxi dresses for those sultry days.


Maternity summer maxi dresses fit loose and give your bump an incredible shape with some cinching beneath the bust. These dresses have so much flowy fabric that you can actually fan yourself with it if you get hot! They also protect your legs from sunburn.


You can find all styles of maxi maternity gowns here! There are cute tank styles for when you want to feel the sun and long sleeves for those concerned about sunburns. All the casual maternity dresses for summer you could ever want are in this collection. 

Cover Your Skin

The sun is no joke. Seriously, it can do a number on your skin if you’re not careful! That’s why wearing a long sleeve maternity dress might actually be beneficial when the sun is shining bright.


Pregnancy summer dresses with sleeves can save your skin from UV damage, reducing your risk of skin cancer in the future. As long as the dress is made of rayon or cotton, it should still keep you cool!

Layers

It might sound backward, but wearing layers in the summer can help you control your temperature. You might be shifting from the outdoors to chilly air-conditioned spaces, so keeping a cardigan or jacket with you is a smart idea.


Luckily, our cheap maternity summer dresses are kind to your wallet, so you have extra to spend on a fancy cardigan! Have fun with accents colors and wild prints. Your maternity wear is as extravagant as you make it. 

Ditch the Black

Yes, black is our favorite too, and we’re sad to see it go, but it’s not the best for scorching temperatures. Dark colors like black lock in heat, so they’re not the best option for pregnancy summer dresses.


On the flip side, a white summer maternity dress keeps you cool and cute! In fact, white is the color of summer. It will reflect the sunlight, so heat will bounce off you.


If a white summer maternity dress isn’t your style, you can choose any light color, like mauve or lavender, and it will have the same effect.

Summer Maternity Dresses for Photoshoot

Summer is one of the best times for a maternity photoshoot because you have more hours in the day to make use of the gorgeous natural light. All you need is a stunning dress to capture the glowing glory.


Summer maternity dresses for photoshoot are lightweight and a bit sheer. Since they are made of porous fabric, they let light pass through them. This is ideal for pictures taken at sunset! It creates a translucent effect and shows off your form.


A flowing maxi dress is a prime option for photoshoot because it gives you material to play with. A maxi maternity dress also adds movement and texture to your photos that other styles might lack.


So, which summer maternity dresses for photoshoot produce the most amazing pictures? We would say a maxi-length, white summer maternity dress that lets plenty of light pass through.
