Nowadays, when it comes to jeans, there's only one rule: the baggier, the better. Long gone are days of the form-fitting skinny jeans that would cut off our circulation, mom jeans have come into the picture and completely stolen the show - and honestly, we couldn't be happier.
Apart from being a super cool base to any outfit, mom jeans are also very comfy and easy to style. In other words, they're the perfect 'I've just snoozed my alarm for the 15th time and have no time to decide what to wear' trousers (guilty).
Whether you're painting the town red with your besties or going for Sunday brunch, the humble mom jean will see you through. She's versatile, she's easy to wear and the only thing that matters is how you style her - that's where we come in.
If you're looking to change up your look and make the most of your favourite mom jeans, we've done some top-notch outfit research, spotting the very best ways to style your mom jeans.
From Hailey Bieber to Madison Beer, we've gathered inspo from the most stylish influencers and found the best daytime and evening mom jean looks.
