Denim & Jeans

Mom jeans

Mom jeans are high-rise, tapered jeans with a relaxed fit through the hip and thigh that narrows toward the ankle. Cut in rigid or low-stretch denim, they have a slightly loose, vintage-inspired shape borrowed from 1980s and '90s styles.

The defining features are the high waist and the rigid, non-stretch denim, which together create structure through the hip and a tapered ankle. They sit away from the body more than skinny or slim jeans, so they read as casual and retro.

Mom jeans and boyfriend jeans are often confused: mom jeans taper at the ankle and sit high, while boyfriend jeans are looser and straighter throughout with a lower rise.
