The best maternity jeans under $30 that don’t look like mom jeans

Expecting moms everywhere know how important a good, quality pair of maternity jeans can be. And when it comes to building a baby-brewing wardrobe, they are absolutely essential. In recent years, there appears to have been a general overhaul of all maternity wear for expecting mamas — thus giving them more sophisticated and stylish options for putting together outfits at any point in their pregnancy.

Although not all maternity jeans are created equal, and some simply scream mom jeans, no new mom wants to be caught dead in the same old boring jeans like our own moms used to wear. That’s why we took our time, locating fashionable cuts and styles to suit young, hip moms who want to put their best foot forward, no matter what stage of life they are in.
