Mom jeans are back…and they aren't going anywhere soon if Kendall Jenner has to do with it.
Actually, we believe Hollywood's style elite—Selena Gomez, Emily Ratajkowski, even Beyoncé—would
have a small conniption if this denim trend fell out of favor. Why?
Because beyond millennial fascination in old styles, mom jeans are
simply just comfortable. They fall right at your waistline, hugging your
hips without suffocating any skin—a.k.a. back fat. The waistline
seemingly cinches you in at the smallest part of your body, creating
more of an hourglass shape. Not to mention, they are oftentimes cropped,
elongating your legs. Win-win-win.
Still,
not all mom jeans are created equal. Most tend to come with a slouch,
like a boyfriend jean, while others are more fitted or distressed. As
their celeb fans prove, there are different styles and even more
creative ways to sport this type of time-honored denim. Keep scrolling
to see how it's done.

Mom jeans are the best kind of weekend wear, especially
the semi-fitted, light-wash kind the "Fetish" singer was wearing while
out about. The coloring gives it that retro feel, while the two-tone hem
gives it a modern update. Feeling a little too mature for your age?
Pair it with a lightweight blouse featuring a low neckline. Adding a
textured jacket, in velvet or corduroy, over top gives it dimension.
There you have it: the perfect fall combo.

Painter pants, these are not. White jeans have a bad
reputation for being unforgiving—as in they show every crease and curve.
Not to mention, they get dirty quickly. However, in white, slouchy mom
jeans, you literally have wiggle room. Just opt for ones that are a bit
distressed or embellished, so you don't look like a professional painter
on the job. Is baring your rock-hard abs like Emily a bit too much for
you? Pair the relaxed pants with a structured-but-fitted top. A cami
will also work under a cropped jacket.

Kendall Jenner
Out of all three looks, the model's mom jeans look most
like the original style: light wash, roomier in the hips and leg but
tighter toward the hem. The
Keeping Up With the Kardashian star
kept the throwback vibes going, pairing her ensemble with a fanny pack
(albeit a structured designer one), white sneakers and a turtleneck.
Hey, if you're going to channel an old trend, you might as well go all
the way, right?
