There are always a ton of denim debates going on in the fashion world. Blue or black? Ripped or clean? Cuffed or cropped? And, of course, skinny or not? Do we stick with our beloved, trusted skinny jeans, or do we dip into a style like a mom jean instead?

Personally, we say everyone should simply wear the style they want — and we know we have multiple cuts of jeans in our own wardrobe. Our biggest concern is that everyone knows what’s out there and tries different styles of jeans at least once. You never know — you might end up loving them!

Mom jeans are stylish, comfy and timeless, boasting a high-rise fit with a looser leg. Don’t picture the ’90s stereotype — when you buy a modern version and style it accordingly, it can make you feel your most fashionable yet. Shop our picks below!
