20 Maternity Outfits for Teachers With Dresses, Layers and Simple Separates

Looking for maternity outfits for teachers that give you a few more options than the same dress every day? Think brown cardigans, floral prints and a checked blazer over a plain white top.

These looks include dressier combinations plus casual ideas you can adapt for school.

You can keep things simple or bring in a little color. Just keep your school’s dress code in mind, especially with shorts, shorter hems and low necklines.

Some of these outfits need a small swap before heading into the classroom.

Maternity outfit ideas to save for the school week

brown cardigan and gray jeans

We’re starting off with this cute brown cardigan and gray jeans combination. I love the black high neckline underneath.

The little bows on the black flats are such a pretty detail.

Try leaving the lower cardigan buttons open like this so the black top shows through.

cream cardigan and black leggings

If you are looking for something simple to put together, this one is for you. A long cream cardigan goes over a white top and black leggings, with brown sandals to finish the look.

The small brown crossbody bag is a cute addition. For more coverage at school, choose a longer white top underneath.

green dress with puff sleeves

How gorgeous is this green? I am obsessed with the puff sleeves and the long gathered skirt.

The small beige bag lets that bright color do its thing.

The neckline here is quite low for a classroom outfit. Try a higher-neck version of this dress or add a camisole underneath.

brown dress and beige cardigan

This is one of my favorite color combinations on the list. The brown ribbed dress looks so pretty with the long beige cardigan.

You don’t need to add much here. I’d choose a pair of brown flats and keep the little necklace.

blue overalls and scalloped trim

How cute is the white scalloped trim peeking out above these blue overalls? The large front pocket and wide legs keep the rest of the look simple.

One strap sits off the shoulder here. For a school-day version, wear both straps up and try a white blouse with a higher neckline.

pale blue shirt and flared jeans

Don’t want to go all out with accessories? No problem!

Try an open pale blue shirt over a white tank with flared jeans. I love the rolled sleeves and the black bag with its little gold-tone detail.

gray turtleneck and tall boots

The tall black boots are my favorite part of this outfit. They’re paired with black tights and a gray turtleneck mini dress, with a black handbag beside them.

If you want to borrow this look for teaching, choose a longer dress while keeping the same gray-and-black pairing.

cream dress and pointed flats

I love this cream dress with the narrow pleats down the front. The loose sleeves and white pointed slingbacks are just so pretty together.

Add a dark brown bag like the one here if you want something a little different from an all-cream outfit.

blue pinafore and black layers

Here’s another cute way to wear an overall-style piece. This blue pinafore has a front pocket and rows of side buttons, with a black long-sleeve top underneath.

Keep the black tights and chunky boots if you want to try the same combination. A longer pinafore would be an option for stricter school dress codes.

striped tee and gray shorts

The stripe fans are going to love this oversized tee! It’s paired with gray shorts, a white baseball cap and pale sneakers.

This one is more of an off-duty look than a classroom outfit as shown. Swap the shorts for full-length gray trousers and leave off the cap to take the striped top into your school wardrobe.

checked blazer and wide-leg pants

This blazer outfit may just be my favorite one so far. I love the small checks over the plain white top.

The black wide-leg pants and white sneakers keep the rest simple.

A little white handbag finishes the outfit without adding another color.

floral dress and sneakers

How cute is this floral dress? The little ruffled sleeves and gathered hem are adorable.

I especially love the orange and blue details in the print.

Try white sneakers instead of dressier shoes to follow this look. The pale shoulder bag is a pretty finishing touch.

striped shirt over a black dress

Don’t want to add a cardigan to your dress? No problem there! Simply try an open striped shirt over a long black dress.

The pushed-up sleeves and black sandals keep this outfit casual. I’d keep the shirt untucked just like it is here.

rust print and a beige coat

Bring a little print into your outfit with this rust-colored top. I love the tiny pale shapes and the gathered section above the bump.

The beige coat is draped over the shoulders, with black trousers underneath. Try wearing the coat normally for your commute, then let the printed top stand on its own indoors.

beige sweater and a cream skirt

I am obsessed with this pale skirt and beige sweater pairing. It’s so pretty with the white high-top sneakers and little cream bag.

If you want a skirt outfit without lots of accessories, this is a lovely one to save.

taupe sweater and white tiers

This is another pale skirt look, but it’s a little different from the one above. I love the gathered tiers on the long white skirt and the wide cuffs on the taupe sweater.

The brown flats peeking out below the hem are worth keeping if you try this combination.

tiny florals and a tan cardigan

If you’re looking for a dress outfit with a little pattern, go with this pale floral midi and tan cardigan. The tiny flowers are so sweet.

I especially love the cardigan’s big pockets. You could switch the tan slides for closed-toe flats if that works better for your classroom.

long white shirt and black layers

Don’t want to spend time matching lots of colors? This black-and-white combination gives you a simple starting point.

The long open shirt sits over a fitted black outfit, with white socks and striped sneakers below.

For a dressier variation, try black straight-leg trousers in place of the fitted bottoms.

leopard print and a white blazer

How cute is this little leopard-print dress with the white blazer? I love how the rolled sleeves keep it from looking too formal.

The picture pairs it with tan ankle-strap heels. If you’d rather wear flats, try a tan pair and keep the same colors.

long trench and gray sneakers

Last but definitely not least, we have this beige trench over a white tee and black leggings. I love the checked lining showing along the open front!

Gray sneakers and white socks finish this casual look. For a school-day variation, swap the leggings for black trousers while keeping the long coat.
