5 Ways to Style Mom Jeans on a Midsize Body!
Lets take a moment talk about Mom Jeans! This ever popular style is a fun way to add a little edginess to your everyday outfit but lets be real, they can sometime be a little difficult to style, especially if you have a mid or plus sized body! I’m going to share 5 of my favorite simple ways to style your mom jeans with staples that you probably already have in your closet!
Now before we jump into the styles themselves lets talk about finding the right pair of Mom Jeans. If you are looking into buying a pair I would highly suggest that you pay close attention to the sizing! Read the Reviews and try them on first if possible! Depending on the amount of stretch that your mom jeans have you may end up having to get a pair that is different than your typical size. I personally have 2 pairs of Mom Jeans, both of which are from American Eagle. I have their Highest Waist Mom Jeans and their Stretch Mom Jeans and though they are from the same brand their fit and sizing is completely different! The Stretch Mom Jeans have a much looser, almost boyfriend like fit, and in these I ordered my typical size at American Eagle, which is an 8 and the are almost too big for me. The Highest Waist Mom Jeans have the complete opposite situation! These jeans have zero stretch in them and are more restrictive. When ordering these jeans I ended up sizing up one to a size 10 but to be honest I may have been better off with a 12! Moral of the story… read the reviews and try them on first!
1) Everyday/Basic
Lets start with the most basic of them all! The thing with mom jeans, is that they are a statement piece all on their own which means that going basic with your other pieces will always look great! Pairing the mom jeans with a basic T, tied up to accentuate the waist line and a cute pair of sandals or sneakers and you are good to go!
2) Target Style
Pairing mom jeans with a well structured tank top and a cute pair of sandals is a great way to make mom jeans look mature and well styled while still maintaining a trendier vibe. In this photo I took a standard length, flowier tank top, gathered the excess fabric into the center (slightly below where I wanted my top to hit), secured it with a hair tie and tucked the end into the bottom of my bra. This is a great way to create the cropped look while being able to control where you want it to hit!
3) Beachy Boho Vibes
The cool thing about mom jeans is that they can transition from having an edgier feel to a laid back beachy feel! Pairing a looser pair of mom jeans with a crochet or sweater tank and some strappy sandals and you are good to go! I know not everyone has a crochet tank but you could easily pair a basic or lace cropped tank and achieve the same feel!
4) Band T
Want an edgier look? Say no more! Distressed mom jeans paired with a band T is the way to go! Throw on some cute sneakers and a hat and your look is complete! This is a great way to be comfortable and casual while still looking well styled! This is the ‘no makeup, makeup look’ equivalent for mom jeans!
5) Date Night!
Last, but not least, we have the perfect date night outfit! This is a great blend of casual meets dressy! In this picture I paired a basic black bodysuit with a distressed pair of mom jeans and a strappy pair of black heals to create a sassy but trendy look! This look would also be great for a day to night transition by simple swapping out the shoes from sandals to heals!
