“Dear Gypsy Warrior,
How the hell do I wear these mom jeans so that I don’t look like an actual mom??”
——————————–
Ah, the Mom Jean. At first glance when you pick them up off the hanger, they appear confusing and, frankly, a little bit scary. But fear not! We’re going to make these bad boys seem a whole lot more wearable, and a whole lot less scary. A few simple rules:
1. Proportions matter! Mom jeans work with your body differently than, say, low-rise pants or high-waist jeans. The leg is alot wider and the waist slim. Pair with a crop tee for a younger 90’s vibe, or throw something super blousey over it and just rock a slouchy look!
2. Details, baby. Cuffing the hem to show off your shoes is a chic take on the sometimes-slouchy staple. Distressed finishing brings the look to a grungier place, like you dug these old jeans out of your attic or something. And rips? Leave them bare, or layer fishnets or patterned tights under!
3. Make it yours. The easiest way to conquer these jeans is to pair them with something you’d wear anyway. If your style is more tailored, a chic as hell menswear inspired top is the perfect choice. If you’re more into the Tumblr-chic side of fashion, white sneaks and a cropped sweatshirt is a go-to. Or, if you’re a vintage vixen, an old shaggy band tee, concho belt and Aviators brings the look to a blogger-perfect level of rad.
The long and the short of it is that these jeans are extremely versatile, whether you’re pairing them with a white tee or heels and a leather. Shop our two fave styles in our Mom Jean Monday spotlight, and peep the Gallery below for MAJOR inspiration!
