Some people define the mom jeans as high waisted jeans. I would go a little further by saying that the mom jeans are typically in sky blue and are slightly loose fit around the thigh area. I think the name speaks for itself as the jeans really have that “mom” feel. Having said that, these jeans are not really for moms only. I know that many people believe that low waisted jeans look trendier but the mom jeans definitely has a place for your casual outfits. In this blog post, I am going to explore with you some of the best ways to wear mom jeans in a stylish fashion.
Mom Jeans with Black Long Sleeve Slim Fit Sweater
Some people that the disadvantage of mom jeans is that they make your waist look short. Like many things in life, the weekness is often also the strength. For some people, especially those that have relative narrow shoulders, they actually look better when you visually move up your waistline by wearing high waisted pants. They achieve a better body proportion with seemingly longer legs. Not saying that everyone belongs to that group of people, I am saying that you really have to try them on to see whether you actually look better with high waisted pants. This outfit is a perfect one to test whether you belongs to the group. For the top, wear a black, long sleeve, slim fit sweater with with mom jeans and ballet heels.
Wear with White Vest Top & Black Leather Jacket
Another way to look good wearing the mom jeans is to tuck in your top and wear a slightly oversized jacket over your top. For example, you can a wear white vest top and tuck it in your mom jeans. Wear a black leather jacket with the outfit to balance out the other pieces.
Wear with White Vest Top & Striped Boyfriend Shirt
Borrowing from the previous outfit idea in terms of wearing something oversized over a tucked-in top, instead of the leather jacket, you can wear a boyfriend striped shirt as the top layer. Complete the outfit with sneakers. With similar use of layerings, the outfit has a much softer tone and has a girl-next-door style.
Wear with Black Knit Sweater & Grey Wool Coat
This outfit demonstrates that mom jeans look good too with a long coat. The outfit consists of a black knit sweater, a long grey wool coat, mom jeans and ankle boots. I can see it as a beautiful outfit for the fall and the winter. You can see in this outfit how mom jeans can make you look taller when put together with the right pieces.
Black Vest Top & Grey Longline Cardigan
For the summer and the spring when a long wool coat is not suitable, you can wear a longline cardigan. You can wear a black vest top with a grey cardigan, mom jeans and heels.

From the previous example, you can sort of see how the high waisted cropped jeans and heels can make you look taller by visually moving up your waistline and also showing a few inches of skin around the ankle area. This outfit is another proof of the trick. Simply wear a white blouse, in this case one that has vertical stripes, with cropped mom jeans and black heels.
