STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: The Mom Jean

We all remember those times as little kids when we would look up to our parents, wanting to be just like them. I always remember wishing I could wear the things my mom did, including her clothes, shoes and jewelry.

Well now that vintage clothing is a huge trend, so is the “mom jean.” This type of jean is the epitome of comfort and conservative class. They are so versatile and you are able to dress them up or down by just changing out your top and shoes.

This Fashionista rocks her mom’s jeans, as well as many other vintage accessories, on the streets of Brooklyn on a beautiful September afternoon. The high-rise of the jeans and the skinny belt emphasize her tiny waist, giving her a beautiful, feminine silhouette. She paired the jeans with a velvet scoop-back top to add a touch of sexiness. The heeled booties class up the outfit even more along with her vintage watch and red nails. She even customized the jeans with a Rolling Stones patch.

The mom jean is so popular right now because of its comfort and ability to flatter all different types of bodies. They are loose, has tons of room and the right cut will compliment a range of body types. They keep you warm when it is chilly outside and eliminate the hassle of the “skinny jean dance” that we all can admit to having done at one point or another.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I used to hate wearing really tight jeans because they are just plain uncomfortable, and not every day is a legging day. Mom jeans are the happy medium between comfort and style. Find the pair that is right for you, because no two are alike!
