20 Maternity Work Outfits With Dresses, Blazers and Simple Layers
Looking for maternity work outfits that give you a few more options than the same dress every day? Think blue shirts, matching black separates and long dresses with an open blazer.
These looks include dressier combinations plus casual ideas for workplaces where jeans and sneakers are welcome.
You can keep things simple or bring in a little print. Start with your office dress code, then pick the layers and little details you love.
That checked blazer and those brown-and-cream pairings are especially worth saving!
Maternity outfit ideas for your workweek
camel blazer and dark brown dress
We’re starting off strong with this gorgeous brown dress and camel blazer. I love the long hem with those little black bow flats.
Leave your blazer open and push up the sleeves to follow this look. A black handbag keeps the accessories simple.
blue shirt and white pants
How pretty is this blue and white pairing? The loose button-front shirt sits over white ribbed wide-leg pants, with the lower buttons left open.
Try the rolled cuffs and a small gold-tone necklace if you want the same finishing touches. For an office that doesn't allow sandals, swap in closed-toe flats.
black tie-front separates
I am obsessed with this matching black outfit. The wide sleeves and tie beneath the bust are so pretty with the wide-leg pants.
The tan bag adds a little color without changing the whole look. Choose a higher-neck top underneath if you’d like more coverage for work.
leopard print and a long cardigan
If you want a little print without lots of bright colors, this one is for you. The dark leopard-patterned dress sits beneath a long taupe cardigan.
I especially love the simple pendant at the neckline. Keep your bag plain black if you want to follow the same combination.
pinstripes and white sneakers
This layered dress look may just be one of my favorites here. I love the white high neckline above the gray pinstriped dress, with a long black blazer over both.
The white sneakers repeat the white at the neckline. Save this combination for an office where sneakers are welcome.
cream vest and black dress
Don't want to wear a full blazer? No problem!
Try a long cream vest over a black dress like this one. The lapels and double rows of buttons are such pretty details.
There’s a lace-trimmed neckline here too. For a more covered version, choose a plain higher-neck dress underneath.
brown dress and black boots
If you’re looking for an outfit without lots of separate pieces, go with this brown ribbed dress and black boots. The V-neck, long sleeves and side slit give you plenty of detail without adding extra accessories.

navy blazer and flared jeans
Calling all casual-Friday fans, this is such a cute way to wear jeans. The navy pinstriped blazer goes over a plain gray top, with dark shoes peeking out below the flared hems.
I’d keep the small structured bag too. It looks lovely beside those simple blue and gray pieces.
striped shirt over black
I love this striped shirt worn open over a long black dress. The pushed-up sleeves and little black chain-strap bag are just too cute together.
Try the same idea with black flats instead of the pictured sandals if you want a more office-ready version.
cream top and brown skirt
How cute is this brown-and-cream outfit? Not gonna lie, the brown sneakers with white stripes are a favorite detail!
The cream sweater ends above the long brown skirt, with a small brown bag tucked under one arm. Swap the sneakers for loafers if your workday calls for something dressier.
camel layers and white boots
Bring a little matching color into your workweek with this camel dress and long coat. I am in love with the white ankle boots against all that brown.
The small tan handbag is a lovely finishing touch. Try this same color combination with flat ankle boots if that’s what you prefer.
wide sleeves and a tan bag
Here’s another view of the black tie-front outfit from earlier. You can see the wide sleeves and long ties especially clearly here.
That tan bag with its chunky gold-tone chain is worth a closer look too. I’d borrow that accessory pairing for plain black separates you already own.
foldover neckline and gold details
This off-the-shoulder dress is so pretty, especially with the chunky gold-tone necklace. The wide folded neckline and long vertical ribs are my favorite details.
For work, check whether the bare shoulders and side slit suit your office. A blazer would be one way to add shoulder coverage without changing the dress.
gray sweater and white collar
Don’t want to go all out and want something super simple? This gray sweater, white shirt and wide-leg jeans combination gives you a casual starting point.
Let the white collar and shirt hem show like they do here. The turned-up jeans and tan shoes finish the look.
gray dress and charcoal cardigan
This is another pretty way to wear a long cardigan. The charcoal layer sits open over a lighter gray dress, with a large taupe tote over one shoulder.
I love those shades together. Choose a higher neckline for your own dress if you want a little more coverage at work.
checked blazer and white separates
I am obsessed with this checked blazer. It’s so cute over the white top and loose white pants, especially with that curved brown shoulder bag.
Keep the blazer open to show the matching pieces underneath. There’s no need to add another pattern here.
little flowers and a green layer
Want something a little different from the neutral outfits? This floral one-piece has tiny orange and blue flowers, with a long green layer worn open over it.
The white tee underneath is a cute detail. For a casual workplace, you might try closed-toe shoes instead of the chunky sandals shown here.

cream cardigan and black leggings
If your workplace allows leggings, this is a simple combination to build on. A white top and long cream cardigan sit above black leggings, with a small brown crossbody bag.

The cardigan’s raised pattern is my favorite part. For a dressier variation, try black trousers in place of the leggings.
black blazer and wide-leg pants
Don’t want to add prints or bright colors? No problem there! Simply try this black blazer, black top and wide-leg trousers combination.
The white sneakers are the only big break from black. A little gold-tone jewelry at the neckline is all I’d add.
checked blazer and strap flats
Last but definitely not least, we have this checked blazer outfit. I love the black strap flats!
The cropped black pants let you see that little shoe detail clearly.
A dark V-neck layer sits over a white tee beneath the blazer. Keep the small brown handbag if you want to bring out the brown in the checks.
