Summer is all about holidays, sunshine and relaxing moments. But when you’re pregnant, packing your suitcase can quickly become a challenge: how can you stay comfortable without compromising your style?
The good news is that you only need a few carefully chosen pieces to create outfits for every occasion. Here are our tips for packing a practical, elegant maternity wardrobe that’s easy to wear throughout your trip.
Pack Smart Instead of Packing More
When you’re pregnant, there’s no need to overpack. The key is to choose versatile pieces that you can wear from morning to evening and easily mix and match.
A capsule wardrobe allows you to travel lighter while always having the perfect outfit, whether you’re spending the day at the beach, exploring a city or enjoying dinner on a terrace.
The Essentials to Pack
Two Maternity Dresses
A maternity dress is undoubtedly your best holiday companion. Lightweight, comfortable and easy to slip on, it keeps you feeling cool even on the hottest days.
A fitted dress beautifully highlights your baby bump, such as our beloved Aimée Dress with its colourful prints. For warmer days or long walks, a looser silhouette like our Charlie Dress is the perfect choice thanks to its relaxed fit and versatile style.
Comfortable Shorts
Perfect for sightseeing, walks or days by the sea, maternity shorts offer complete freedom of movement while pairing effortlessly with a tank top or T-shirt.
Lightweight Denim
Even in summer, evenings can get cooler. A comfortable pair of maternity jeans lets you enjoy long evenings outdoors while staying stylish.
Our Marie Denim Trousers are the perfect option thanks to their soft fabric and flattering wide-leg fit, making them a wardrobe staple all year round.
Leggings
Often forgotten when packing, maternity leggings are one of the true essentials. They provide exceptional comfort during road trips, flights, cooler days, sightseeing or simply relaxing at your accommodation.
Easy-to-Match Tops
Basic T-shirts, tank tops and nursing tops (if you plan to wear them after your baby’s arrival) allow you to create multiple outfits without overloading your suitcase.
Choose Breathable Fabrics
When travelling in summer, fabric matters just as much as the cut.
Choose breathable materials such as organic cotton, TENCEL™, bamboo or lightweight knits. They help regulate body temperature and remain comfortable throughout the day.
On the other hand, synthetic fabrics with poor breathability can quickly become uncomfortable in the heat.
The Perfect Outfit for Every Holiday Moment
At the Beach
A lightweight dress worn over your swimsuit is ideal for moving effortlessly from the beach to lunch by the sea.

Dinner Out
A fitted maternity dress, a few accessories and comfortable sandals are all you need for an elegant evening look.
Travelling
Whether you’re travelling by car, train or plane, opt for leggings or lightweight trousers paired with a breathable top and a light jacket.
Accessories That Complete the Look
A few carefully chosen accessories make all the difference:
- a wide-brim hat for sun protection;
- sunglasses;
- a spacious tote bag;
- a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated;
- comfortable sandals for long walks.
Choose Clothes You’ll Wear After Pregnancy
Your holiday may only last a few weeks, but your wardrobe can last much longer.
Instead of buying clothes you’ll only wear during pregnancy, choose versatile pieces designed to evolve with your body.
Jolibump maternity clothing is designed to support you before, during and after pregnancy. Many styles can also be worn while breastfeeding, making them a more sustainable investment.
