How to Wear Mom Jeans? Our Tips

The arrival of the warm season coincides with the infamous "wardrobe change"—that time when we unearth lighter garments that have been tucked away in forgotten corners. Among them, you might find a pair (or more) of mom jeans. If you're aiming for a ‘90s-inspired outfit, light blue mom jeans are perfect. They pair effortlessly with practically any t-shirt, from solid colors to bold graphic prints. Then there are white mom jeans, which instantly give off summer vibes, and black ones—ideal for an elegant yet casual evening look. But enough spoilers—let’s dive into all our styling tips.

How to Style Mom Jeans?

Experimenting is key to creating unique outfits that allow you to express creativity while staying comfortable. Elegance doesn’t have to mean sacrificing comfort—just look at the combination of mom jeans, a t-shirt, and a blazer. The jacket adds a sophisticated touch, and the color combinations are endless. A black-on-black jeans and blazer duo is a classic, but mixing different shades of blue works just as well. This is a perfect spring look that transitions effortlessly from day to night. If you want to elevate it further, swap the basic t-shirt for a blouse or a button-down shirt.

For a more casual vibe, hoodies are a great option. Cream and ivory tones complement light blue jeans beautifully, but don’t shy away from bolder hues—they’re a great way to add energy to your outfit.

Mom Jeans outfits: so many choices!

And what about crop tops? Spring already has us thinking about summer, and crop tops are a perfect match for any type of jeans. Of course, accessories play a crucial role in completing the look. Which bag should you go for? It depends. Bucket bags have been trending lately, making them a great choice for the season. For occasions where you only need the essentials, mini bags are fantastic. For an extra stylish touch, try adding a belt—experiment with different styles to find the one that best complements your outfit.

Don’t overlook the trench coat! A must-have outerwear piece for both fall and spring, it pairs beautifully with mom jeans, just like a blazer does. And if you're wondering which shoes to wear with an outfit like this, keep reading.

For that season, we recommend giving the timeless ankle boots a chance.
