Maternity Shorts
Maternity shorts are one of the most practical warm-weather pregnancy essentials — comfortable enough for lounging at home, casual enough for errands and outdoor activities, and versatile enough to pair with almost any maternity top in your wardrobe. At Glamix, our maternity shorts collection includes casual cargo styles with roomy pockets, comfortable jersey shorts for everyday wear, active shorts for exercise and yoga, and denim-style maternity shorts for a more polished casual look. All styles feature wide over-bump waistbands or belly panels that sit securely without digging in or rolling down throughout the day.
Whether you are looking for the most comfortable maternity shorts for lounging through the summer months, active styles for prenatal exercise, or casual shorts that work for outdoor activities and beach days, our collection covers every need. Maternity shorts are available in sizes S to 5XL and are designed to be worn comfortably from the first trimester through the third — and even after baby.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of maternity shorts are available?
Our maternity shorts collection includes casual cotton and jersey shorts for everyday lounge and errand wear, cargo-style shorts with roomy pockets for practical outdoor activities, active shorts in stretch performance fabrics for prenatal exercise and yoga, and denim-style maternity shorts for a more put-together casual look. All styles feature wide over-bump waistbands or belly panels that provide comfortable coverage and support without digging in or rolling down throughout the day.
When should I switch to maternity shorts during pregnancy?
Most people switch to maternity shorts between weeks 14 and 20, when regular shorts start to feel tight at the waistband or cannot be fastened comfortably around a growing bump. In summer pregnancies, many mamas switch even earlier simply for the comfort advantage of the wide over-bump waistband. If your regular shorts still fit but the waistband feels uncomfortable, a belly band can extend their use temporarily before you switch to dedicated maternity shorts.
Are maternity shorts suitable for exercise during pregnancy?
Yes, our active maternity shorts are specifically designed for prenatal exercise including yoga, walking, swimming, and light gym sessions. They feature moisture-wicking stretch fabrics that move freely with your body, wide over-bump waistbands that provide gentle belly support during movement, and non-restrictive leg openings that allow a full range of motion. For higher intensity cardio, look for styles labeled as activewear or performance in our collection for the best exercise performance.
Do maternity shorts come in plus sizes?
Yes, plus size maternity shorts are available in our collection in sizes up to 5XL. Our plus size styles feature the same wide over-bump waistbands and stretch fabrics as standard sizes, with proportionally wider cuts that provide comfortable coverage for a fuller figure throughout pregnancy. Check individual product listings for specific size availability across our maternity shorts range.
Can I wear maternity shorts after giving birth?
Yes, maternity shorts are an excellent postpartum option, particularly in the warmer months when you need comfortable, practical bottoms that accommodate your postpartum body without pressure at the waist. The wide waistbands provide gentle belly support during recovery, and the stretch fabrics accommodate your changing postpartum shape comfortably. Many mamas wear their maternity shorts for several months after birth before returning to regular shorts.
