Whether this is your first pregnancy or you’re growing baby #1’s sibling, that pregnant belly of yours is something to admire and celebrate. Yet those bumps can make pre-pregnancy clothes super uncomfortable, which is why you may suddenly find yourself only wanting to wear flowy maternity dresses or maternity robes. But when the temperatures soar, another wardrobe essential becomes clear: an easy-breezy tank top. Whether it’s in an A-line cut or made from the stretchiest material imaginable, the best maternity tank tops offer complete comfort, no matter what your day has in store.

But here’s a little secret: While there are certainly plenty of specifically maternity tanks to shop from, you may not be limited to just baby-on-board fashions. Depending on how far along in the pregnancy, sometimes it works to size up a size or two or to choose a flowy fit — and, to be honest, going this route will probably come with more styles to choose from. But when that bump gets huge (and it will!) there’s really nothing better than a maternity top with stretch for days. Plus, once baby is out, if you choose to breastfeed or pump, nursing tops will make that part of motherhood so much easier.

Ahead you’ll find the best maternity tank tops — and you may want a few from each category to see you through those pregnant, postpartum, and nursing days and months (and maybe even years). Get ready to stock up; you’ll be so glad you have plenty of clean tanks on hand when you’re deep in the newborn phase.
