If you’re wondering what to wear with ‘mom jeans’ in spring, my aim is for you to have a logbook of outfits for different occasions for you to refer back to.
Mom jeans are a great wardrobe staple. Start with this item then play around with tops and accessories to formulate your desired look.
Mom jeans originated in the 80s and have made a comeback in the last few years. With a relaxed style and slouchy silhouette, they are easy to dress up or dress down. Due to this stylish versatility, the mom jeans trend is here to stay. Once you find a great fitting pair, mom jeans enhance and complement curves, especially for those mid-size women like me.
Mom jeans will elongate your silhouette with the high waist and balance your proportions if you have wider hips. Mom jeans have a tapered fit meaning they curve inwards towards the bottom, rather than a straight down jean, enhancing your curves. Chi from Petite Dressing has some great tips on the best silhouettes that suit mom jeans.
Mom jeans provide a versatile and timeless aesthetic that can be easily styled, whether you want a casual, smart party look. Styling these jeans with different accessories and tops will provide a variety of outfit combinations. Check out these outfit ideas for how to style mom jeans in 2022.
