Top five summer maternity maxi skirts

It's finally safe to say summer has arrived and we've been basking in the warm sunshine.
If you think it's still a little bit too early to get those pins out completely, you don't have to miss out on showing off this season's hottest trends.

A lightweight maxi skirt is perfect for filling the gap between cooler spring and sweltering summer day.

And there's some great options to choose from. Play it safe and go for a black or white number, or be daring and channel one of this season's hottest hues.

Team up with a cute maternity t-shirt for a cooler daytime look, or add a maternity vest and accessorise with a silk scarf or chunky necklace for when those temperatures rise.

Opting for this staple maternity piece in a sheer fabric makes it a great option for a night out. Just team up with a pair of sandals or wedges.

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.
