During her pregnancies, one of Kate Middleton’s go-to outfits included her cream maternity coat from Jojo Maman Bebe. Although Kate’s exact £69 coat has long since sold out, the brand has plenty of other versions available, including a chic grey coat that’s perfect for transitioning from winter into spring.
The Grey Maternity Tailored Coat is not only a sophisticated style for mums to be, but it’s also budget friendly too. Usually priced at £79, the coat has now been reduced in the sale to £30, making it the perfect time to add to your maternity wardrobe.
Made from 10% wool, the Grey Maternity Tailored Coat is cosy and warm, whilst still being breathable and comfortable to wear. It has long sleeves and oversized, roomy pockets, and although it looks just like a regular tailored coat on the outside, it has a hidden built-in bump protection that helps support you during your pregnancy.
The beauty of the Grey Maternity Tailored Coat is that although it’s pregnancy-friendly, it’s also easy enough to wear after giving birth, with a timeless design that can be worn for years afterwards. The roomy pockets are also handy for keeping anything you might need to hand for your children, from snacks and tissues to toys.

Its charcoal grey colour is also elegant and classic, and can be paired with anything in your wardrobe. Whether it’s for a family day out or a smart evening event, you can throw it on over everything from jeans to a cocktail dress.
Sizes 8 and 18 are currently sold out, however you can still pick up the Grey Maternity Tailored Coat in sizes 10-16. If you’re after something that’s just as timeless but without any of the maternity-supporting bells and whistles, H&M’s Double Breasted Coat comes in sizes small to XL with a choice of cream, black and grey colourways for £54.99.
If you’re looking for a practical purchase, the Mountain Warehouse Maternity Amethyst Water Resistant Long Padded Jacket is currently on sale down from £139.99 to £55.99. It has a water-resistant outer with soft microfiber insulation that keeps you cosy and dry, with an inlet that easily zips-in to allow extra space for the bump and can be removed after the pregnancy. It’s also adjustable under the bust for a flattering fit.
