Just because mom jeans are casual by nature doesn’t mean you can’t class them up a bit! A stylish pair of high heels that make a statement can take your mom jeans to a whole new level of class. Pair a chic silky blouse with a tailored suit jacket for a classy and refined look. Choosing the right jewelry can class up your mom jeans. Opting for a light denim wash or white jeans can really pull this whole look together. It would be best to avoid distressed or ripped mom jeans if you’re looking to achieve a timeless and classy look.  

 

Trendy Mom Jean Outfits

Some great ideas to pair for an edgy and trendy look are leather jackets, oversized sweaters, and cropped t-shirts. Opt for ripped jeans or distressed denim looks in your mom jeans. As far as shoes go, a chunky white sneaker or combat boot can take this look to the next level of trendy streetwear.
