I believe we’ve already seen the end of the trend of mom jeans. They’re just… the jeans we all wear today. For good reason—they fit high, they have enough space to fit legs in, and they are comfortable enough so that you can sit in without cutting off circulation.
However, as I know sometimes it’s a little tricky to style them. As it’s looser and vintage, it’s simple to really feel as though you’re swimming in fabric if you don’t get the proportions proper. You want to appear relaxed and not dowdy.
If you’ve been staring at a pair in your closet wondering what to actually pair them with, I’ve got you. From a dinner date to a quick outfit for a grocery run, I have compiled 31 outfit ideas that are easy, flattering and practical for any occasion.
1. Structured Blazer and Turtleneck
If you want to look professional but don’t want to suffer, this is the one. Put a sharp blazer over a well-fitting t-shirt and tuck it into your jeans. Complements the loose fitting denim just right.
Add on a pair of leather loafers and you’re in business. You are stylish and expensive looking, but really, it is so comfortable that it’s pretty easy to wear for the whole day.
2. Oversized T-Shirt and Sandals
At times, you may want to avoid the complexity of layers and that’s okay. Simply pick up your favorite large t-shirt, stuff it into the waistband and put on some sandals.
It’s effortless. Ideal for the weekends you want to look cute and yet you don’t want to look like you’re trying too hard.
3. Graphic T-Shirt and Varsity Bomber
Looking for a little more relief or relief? Combine a varsity style bomber jacket in combination with a graphic tee. It lends a sporty feel to the jeans. The catch, though, is wearing pointed heels with it.
It just seems strange, but the combination of the sports coat and the flashy shoes looks incredible. The easy “cool girl” attitude.
4. Fitted Long-Sleeve Bodysuit
Mom jeans make the perfect pants for bodysuits since you won’t have to deal with getting the pants to hold up. The smooth silhouette is produced by a long sleeve one.
The tight top really complements the baggy jeans. You can add some heels and you will have a great outfit for date night.
5. Sleeveless Mock Neck Top
If it’s getting warmer, be tempted to try a sleeveless mock neck. It is contemporary and new. Since the jeans hug your waist line and the neckline is high, you’re going to get a really good line.
Put on a pair of sandals and you’re ready to go! It’s easy to do and it’s effective!
6. Ribbed Halter Top and Flip-Flops
It’s the summer power purest of all. Add a ribbed halter top to your outfit and you instantly look like you’re on vacation. Go with basic flip flops for a beachy and casual style.
It is ideal for both hot and humid days, to keep you cool, while making you feel cute.
7. Mock Neck Crop Top and Platform Sandals
Mom Jeans have to be paired with a crop top! It doesn’t seem like a lot of skin since it’s only a little. Throw on some platform sandals to give yourself some height.
8. Teddy Coat and Sneakers
If it cold, dress in a large, fluffy teddy bear oversized coat over your jeans. It’s the blanket, but socially appropriate.
Complete it with sneakers for a comfortable walking experience. Cozy, textured and ideal for cold weather errands.
9. Ribbed V-Neck and Leopard Print Jacket
Looking to add a bit of pizzazz? Wear a basic V-neck and jeans and top it off with a leopard print jacket. Boom—instant outfit. Add some ankle boots to give it a bit of an edge.
Again, it’s the animal print that does the hard work here and lends a fun to a boring outfit.
10. Cropped Top and Leather Sandals
Once again, crop tops and high waists simply go with it. The ratios are correct. There are nice leather sandals that can be worn to make it look like a dressy shoe, but not a lounge shoe. Just enough for a brunch date or afternoon shopping.
11. Graphic T-Shirt and Slides
For the days you want to feel comfortable! Put on your coolest graphic tee and faves your favorite slides. The ultimate “I’m just going for a little while” look with a stylish appearance. Choose a shirt that reflects your personality.
12. Fair Isle Sweater and Ankle Boots
Nothing is cozier in the Fall than a patterned Fair Isle sweater. It has a nostalgic and sweet touch. Combine with your denims and some contemporary ankle boots to not make it appear like a costume.
The ideal garment for taking a snuggle to the pumpkin spice latte or for a walk.
13. Tweed Blazer and Button-Up Shirt
Want to get a little ‘old school’? For a combination of coats, wear a button down shirt with a tweed blazer. It contrasts so well with the rugged denim.
It can be dressed up with strappy heels for a great dinner or casual business meeting. A combination of textures which simply look cool.
14. Trench Coat and Striped Shirt
This is the traditional “French girl” look that everyone adores. A trench coat with a striped shirt is a never-fail outfit. Perfect for odd weather and in-between seasons. The stripes feature a nautical flair that’s a perfect touch for blue jeans.
15. Striped Polo Sweater and Sneakers
The striped polo sweater has a sporty and preppy vibe. It looks good with sneakers for stability. It’s a simple weekend outfit because you’re ready for lunch and at the same time you’re not too heavy for seating down for the evening.
16. Tweed Vest and Pointed Heels
Looking to do something a little different? Wear a tweed vest as your top. It provides structure to the outfit and makes it unique. The pointed heels make a statement when added. It’s elegant but not pretentious.
17. Graphic Hoodie and Sneakers
Get your street style on. Pick up a cool hoodie, put on your jeans and lace up your sneakers. Obviously it’s super comfy, but if you get the right hoodie, it’s a “look.
18. White Lace-Trim Cami and Pink Mom Jeans
If you’re wearing colored denim, such as pink mom jeans, let them pop. Combine with a light white cami with lace cuffs, and a pair of white sneakers. The lace also gives a feminine flair to the outfit, contrasting the denim, and the overall aesthetic is fresh and cheerful.
19. Oversized Blazer and Crop Top
I love this mix. You wear a large boxy blazer over a very short top. It will keep you warm and still have a nice time while wearing it. Add in pointed heels to dress it up for post-work drinks. It’s a good combination of both professional and party.
20. Oversized Blazer with Graphic T-Shirt
If the crop top is a bit too much, replace it with a graphic tee underneath the blazer. Include some loafers to add a little of the old school “prestige”. Ideal for an “Anything Goes Friday” or for the weekend.
21. Sweetheart Neckline Top and Sneakers
Top with a sweetheart neckline is so romantic and pretty. It won’t look too girly when worn with a pair of rugged denims and sneakers. A nice and well-balanced outfit for a day-time date or just going out in the town.
22. Structured Blazer and T-Shirt
Keep it simple. A casual white T-shirt and denims. A classic, because a classic it is. If it’s warm out, throw on sandals. It shows that you don’t have to have a million accessories to be looking your best, sometimes it’s simplicity that’s the best.
23. Black Off-Shoulder Top and Light Wash Jeans
Sure, the black off the shoulder top and light blue jeans definitely pop out. A little flirty as you’re displaying your collarbones. Add black heels and you’re ready for date night. Simple, yet sexy.
24. Sheer Long-Sleeve Top with Bralette
Going out at night? Go with a black sheer top on top of a bralette. It has a cool and edgy quality, but not too much. With the relaxed jeans and heels, it’s a perfect concert outfit or for hitting a bar with friends.
25. Long Wool Coat and Turtleneck
If it’s really cold, it’s about working first, but you can look good too! An oversized wool coat over a turtleneck will keep you warm and the mom jeans will tuck into the style. Casual shoes are sneakers. You’ll be warm, but not a marshmallow!
26. White Textured Blazer and Fitted T-Shirt
Opt for a monochrome look—white blazer and white t-shirt. Super fresh with light wash denim. Keep your slides from being matchy-matchy by adding in some chunky black ones.
27. Black Bomber Jacket and White Sneakers
Whether it’s a black bomber jacket or otherwise, a bomber jacket adds a certain toughness and coolness to any outfit. For high contrast wear with light jeans and white sneakers. It’s an easy, go-to outfit for when you just want to get out the door.
28. Wool Overshirt Jacket and Striped Top
Layers are important for Fall. Cover a striped t-shirt with a thick wool “shacket. A snug, warm and layered appearance. Add sneakers to complete the look. It’s great for those days when the weather can’t make up its mind.
29. Half-Zip Fleece Pullover
This is the most comfortable outfit ever. Fleece pullover and jeans and sneakers. It’s ideal for outdoor activities or a very lazy Saturday. You are in an adventure mood, if it’s the grocery store.
30. Light Blue Button-Up Shirt and Flat Sandals
Let’s finish with a classic. A light blue button-down tucked into similarly washed-in jeans appears very stylish. Close to a “Canadian Tuxedo” but more subdued. It’s easy with flat sandals. It’s for the office, brunch or anything else you have in mind.
