Top five short summer maternity skirts

In keeping with our simple summer maternity series, we've decided today that it's time to set our sights on the skirt.

Skirts are a great way to show off your bump and there is a huge range to choose from including smarter pencil styles that are great for the office, maxi styles that look amazing with your bump, and of course shorter numbers that are perfect for flashing your pins.

And today we're all about the latter, with a number of lovely styles to choose from. A denim skirt is great for a classic take on this look, while cargo and linen skirts are perfect for a relaxing day with friends or family. If you're feeling brave then opt for a printed skirt, which channels one of this season's hottest styles, ensuring your bump stays bang on-trend.

Team with a simple maternity vest top or maternity kooky tee for a casual look.

Below are just a few of our virtual highstreet finds.
