Maternity fashion can be quite challenging – your body is constantly changing, you want to be comfortable, and you don't want to spend a bundle on garments that won't fit in a few months. This list of fashion staples will help any expecting woman get through nine months with style and ease without breaking the bank.

Belly Band
The must-have for every expecting woman – a belly band. This piece will extend the life of your pre-maternity trousers, assist in holding up too large maternity pants, and even work as a camisole under too low-cut of blouses. This one from Be by Bellaband is simple and far cheaper than many other brands. |

Short Sleeve Faux Wrap Maternity Dress
The perfect LBD for all expecting ladies – pair with boots for the office and slingbacks for a wedding or Date Night. |

Maternity Pants
There is nothing more stressful than finding a pair of stylish, comfortable and budget-friendly maternity pants. These great pants from Liz Lange for Target fit the bill. They can dress up or down, can handle a machine washing and are under $30. |

Broadcloth Shirt
The best deal on the Internet – this great stretch broadcloth shirt will look crisp and tailored with trousers or a pencil skirt – machine washable and wrinkle resistant, it's a great piece to have you look polished even when you're feeling a bit overwhelmed. |

Pencil Skirt
An easy way to look polished when you're expecting. A simple black pencil skirt pairs beautifully with tailored shirts, knits and sweaters. Accessorize with tall boots or Mary Jane flats for a great autumnal look. |

Ruffled Top
This elegant and feminine top can pull together all your maternity basics – worn with jeans and metallic sandals for a night out, under a suit for work… you'll find this top works with almost every garment in your wardrobe. |

The Secret Fit Belly brand of trousers and jeans are a must-have for pregnant women across the country. Comfortable, supportive, invisible under tops and stylish. This classic cut and color of jeans will work with all the fall and winter fashions and colors. |
