As soon as I knew that “mom jeans” were an actual thing these days I thought it was a joke! When I think of mom jeans I think of that SNL skit simply called “Mom Jeans” 😂. I blame SNL for my misjudgment on this trend! And I know so many of my friends feel the same which is why I had to test out this fad for myself… buckle up (or button up) for my mom jeans styling post 🙌.
Questions
I had so many questions… What makes mom jeans, mom jeans? How do they fit? Which do I buy? Are they flattering? And my biggest question: How in the WORLD do I style them?
And I admit, I even wondered if I was “cool” enough to wear them…🤷♀️
In this post, I’ll answer all of these questions and more. My hope is to get you in some of your own favorite mom jeans confidently because if I’m being honest, they have easily become my favorite jeans ever!! Just check my Instagram account here for how many times I have already worn them 😜.
My Mom Jeans
These are my exact mom jeans that I bought! They weren’t my first choice, but I blame the photo because it does not do the jeans justice! They have a bit of stretch to them with a wide leg but tapered bottom. I love the way they fit and how I can just lounge around comfortably in them once I get home. The compliments I get when I wear them are insane! Everyone comments on the distressed look and button down detail.
They fit true to size! Below are my direct links to shop my jeans. Second and third photo are other jeans that I can see would also be lovely!
And check out these curvy girl options! I love that there is a mom jean for everyone and every size.❤
Mom Jean Styling
Once you find mom jeans that you love, styling options are pretty endless! These are perfect for the spring season as weather can vary slightly from day to day. Here are all of the ways I have styled mine for effortless looks that take no time to pull together:
White tee and sneakers.

Bodysuit & heels.
Turn your favorite day jeans into your favorite night jeans with a bodysuit and nude heels. Choose a detailed bodysuit like my sheer and puffed polka dot sleeves or a simple one for a classic look that’s anything but basic.
Here are the items to pull this chic look together:
Boots and boots.
Express yourself (and your various moods) with a good pair of boots. The mom jeans are cut wide enough at the bottom to work perfectly with your favorite pair. Don’t be afraid to take chances here! See how a simple swap of boots changes the vibe of this edgy look.
Below are my exact black boots. The second is not the exact same snakeskin boots pictured here but a lovely Steve Madden design that is very popular and highly rated!
Mix and match.
My favorite way to style outfits is by mixing and matching casual and dressy elements together for a put together look that’s a little unexpected but again so effortlessly chic! Here I paired my favorite cozy pullover with my jeans and heels. Try a graphic tee for warmer temps. Another option is a dressy blouse with sneakers. Warning: mixing and matching is addicting! Have fun 💕.
Here is my pullover and favorite strappy nude heels:
Thoughts?
So what do you think?! Are you feeling confident with ALL the fun ways to style mom jeans yet? I hope so, because I would hate to see you pass this trend up! Especially with sunny spring weather just around the corner.
Mom jeans jokes no more, I am excited to see how you all style this one! Be sure to tag me @thrillofhome here on Instagram so I can see! And never hesitate to reach out about sizing questions, although I will say everything here fits true to size (but size up on bodysuits!).
Leaving you with hugs 💖.
