Hunting for the perfect pair of maternity jeans is something which everyone seems to be doing at the moment. Just the other day Natalie was pondering buying a super swish pair of 7 For All Mankind Maternity Jeans. There are a whole host of gorgeous maternity jeans on the market and Dutch designers Noppies have come up with a range you’ll be wishing you could wear all the time.

The Istanbul Maternity Jeans (above) are new for Autumn 2008 and are already a best seller across the country. They are boot-cut hipsters with almost invisible maternity adjustments: a button elastic at the waist and an over bump panel which can be worn over the bump or tucked inside. The way the fittings work means that you can wear these from the first signs of a bump through to nine months and beyond. The best feature of these jeans is that they don’t look like maternity wear. In sizes 8 - 18 for £61.

Now I know giving up the skinny jeans is a wrench for most so you’ll be glad to see that don’t have to. These Skinny Maternity Jeans are so close to a regular pair that people will be hard pushed to tell the difference. Using the same Noppies waistband as the Istanbul jeans you will be styling your way to the maternity ward. In sizes 8 - 16 for £61.
