Mom jeans are a fun 90s trend that are stylish, comfortable, and have a vintage feel to them. Just to clarify, you don’t have to be a mom to wear them!
Any woman of any age and background can wear them. This post will help you with how to style mom jeans and give you mom jean outfit ideas.
I have two pairs of mom jeans and they’re the only jeans I’ve wanted to wear recently! I have a pair that is a lighter wash and distressed and a pair that is a faded black color. I’m wearing size 0 regular in both and think they are true to size.
You can find my distressed pair of mom jeans here and my black mom jeans here. They’re both really comfortable and I love the stretch in the black jeans.

Adding a sherpa to your mom jean outfit is a great idea for fall fashion and winter fashion. It’s super cozy and will keep you warm. Depending on how your sherpa looks, you can tuck the front of your sherpa in to your jeans to add a little more shape to your outfit. Mine was a little too wide and loose for this though.
