These 16 White Maternity Dresses Are Perfect For Summer

These look so cool and comfortable.

When you’re expecting, you want to get a lot of mileage out of your maternity clothes. And with good reason, since the clothes you purchase for your nine months will probably only last that long, and perhaps postpartum, too. But if you’re looking for something fancy schmancy to wear instead of your preggo leggings and tee shirts, you can doll yourself up in these 15 white maternity dresses that are stylish no matter what season you’re in.

Once upon a time, wearing white was relegated to just those sultry summer months. But then, people realized that white looks wonderful year-round, so rocking white jeans in the fall or even the winter became acceptable. And if you’re expecting, you definitely might want a dress that goes with everything (cue the color white). And think about it: white is a cool color, literally, and can keep you comfortable, especially if you’re 9 months-pregnant in August (which is never, ever fun).

Whether you’re going to a party, planning a day at the beach, need something stylish to wear to work, or even need a dress for your nuptials, you can’t go wrong with these white maternity dresses that can keep you cool — and make you look pretty hot, too.
