Before I was pregnant, I thought I would be someone who would never buy maternity clothes. A lifelong lover of elongated belts and loose layers, I realized that the things in my closet would just expand enough to cover my growing belly. I quickly realized I was wrong (everything felt limited in the second trimester!), so I went on a quest to find the best flared maternity leggings for little ones.
At 5’0, I needed a pair that wouldn’t wipe the ground if I wore them outside, but like most fashion dilemmas for short girls, I found something quality. AND free was not easy. Thankfully, Amazon came to the rescue with the Joyspels Smooth Feeling Flare Maternity Leggings, which are the perfect length, come in tons of colors, and are currently on sale for up to 30% off.

I originally bought these maternity pants in black, hoping to keep things classic and versatile. However, I’ve worn them so much since they arrived last December that I’ve ordered two extra pairs in brown and blue. While the skirts come in six different colors in total, the main draw for me has been the length. Shoppers can choose between 29-, 32-, and 35-inch sizes, making sure they’re perfect for those with short legs (and long ones, too).
Thankfully, flared leggings have been in my rotation for a while (like, since the days they were called yoga pants), so I know there are a million ways to style them. While my usual way to wear my leggings is with an oversized sweatshirt or sweater, lately I’ve been embracing showing off my belly by pairing this Amazon pick with a fitted top or a sleek, cropped sweater .
Another detail worth mentioning? These maternity leggings include side pockets big enough to hold your iPhone or keys. This makes them ideal for days when I’m running errands or need a free hand while walking the dog.
Amazon customers love these flared leggings as much as I do, leaving many 5-star reviews.
“Soft without compromising on quality,” one person wrote. “They have a bit of weight, unlike the cheaper versions of these pants. Not transparent. Flattering fit (not too tight and not loose in the wrong places). The length was just right. I am very impressed with these and am thankful to be wearing something that makes me feel good about my body at 29 weeks. I may need to grow in the future (depending on how much bigger I get).
“If you’re pregnant, KILL, don’t walk to get these pants,” said another reviewer. “I was inspired to get pants like this by my sister-in-law who had a very expensive $90 pair, so I was determined to find a similar look. I was really struggling, I had gone through many different pairs and then I found this pair. Not only does it make me feel good and support me through 34 plus weeks, but I really don’t want to wear anything else. I will wear these pants every day. If they had more colors, I would have every color. They are so comfortable. The material does not pollute. The alignment is perfect. The fit is perfect. The support on my stomach is absolutely perfect. It doesn’t cause any discomfort anywhere and I feel very uncomfortable very easily with any slight pressure. Take these pants. Take these pants. Take these pants. Thank me later.”
While the Blue Steel option is the cheapest at the moment, all colors are currently on sale for Prime members. Hurry and grab a pair while you can. They would also make a lovely gift for an expectant mother!
