The Modern Mom Jean

Is the skinny jean finally going out of style? It's something we've been hearing for years now, and yet they still remain the predominant silhouette on the jean scene. Personally, I think that skinny jeans are super flattering and will continue to be a favorite. However, I'm definitely appreciating the rise in popularity of other denim shapes that we are currently seeing, as I'm always in favor of a bit variety to keep things fresh. We have the resurgence of the flare, as well as the new culotte jean, the cropped flare, and my new favorite silhouette, the vintage-cut "mom jean." It's a little bit like the boyfriend jean that we've been well-acquainted with these past few years, but with a high-waist and a more tapered leg.

I've been on the hunt for the perfect pair for a while now; some of them can be on the baggyish side so I was afraid they wouldn't flatter. I really liked the look of Levi's Wedgie Icon, but for my first pair I decided to go with a more slim-cut pair as a transition between the skinny jean and a truer mom jean. I've seen a lot of style bloggers killing it in the Asos Farleigh slim mom jeans, and since Asos has such an easy return policy, I ordered two pairs. I'm happy to report, they were a winner! I took my normal size and consider my first experiment with mom jeans a success. Definitely looking forward to wearing more of this denim silhouette in the future. Have you tried wearing mom jeans yet? How do you feel about the trend?
