We know what you're thinking. The 80s called, and they want their jeans back. But hear us out. Mom jeans may be an 80s classic, but they're definitely no one-hit-wonder. This denim cut has stood the test of time, and came back into style in the mid-2010s where it has stayed a fan-favourite ever since. Everyone from Kendall Jenner, Zoe Kravitz, Gigi Hadid, Zendaya, and other big-name starlets have rocked mom jeans, both casually and glammed up. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for us!

You can never go wrong with denim, but there is something special about mom jeans. While the name makes it sound like something a bit more dated, it is anything but. Mom jeans for women feature a high waist that comes up to the mid-waist, and a looser fit on the legs. With the high waist that cinches in the waist, this style helps emphasise the narrowest part of your body - your waist - and slightly balloons out on the legs to give you more of an hourglass silhouette. The best mom jeans sit comfortably on the waist without any pinching, are fitted on the lower stomach area, and then skim over the legs with a bit more room. This style is great because it flatters so many different shapes and sizes. In fact, mom jeans look especially amazing on fuller figures, as a pair of plus size mom jeans helps emphasize those curves. Of course, those that are smaller also flatter this style. Petite mom jeans actually help add some height, as the high waist makes your legs appear longer. It's a win-win situation all around!

Half the battle with jeans shopping is finding the right fit for you. Denim can be a bit restricting and uncomfortable, which turns many away from wanting to wear it, However, stretch denim is incredibly comfortable and is a lot more forgiving than traditional denim. For those that prefer a bit more comfort in their denim, stretch mom jeans are ideal. You definitely can't go wrong with a pair of Cotton On mom jeans. Cotton On stretch mom jeans are perfectly soft and relax a bit more with each wear, making you feel like you're wearing a pair of sweatpants instead of jeans. They also come in a variety of denim shades and finishes, so there is something for everyone. Other must-try denim brands include Levi's, G-Star RAW, MANGO, and Factorie - all of which are available right now on Superbalist.com.

The beauty of mom jeans is that they are incredibly easy to style, whether it's black mom jeans, white mom jeans or blue mom jeans. Being denim, they work with pretty much anything and are an absolute style staple you can wear pretty much wherever and however you want. It's a very basic wardrobe item that can be as casual or as dressy as you want - you just have to be smart with how you style your mom jeans.

For a casual daytime look you can wear while out on errands, out with friends, or while just hanging out, pair ripped mom jeans with T-shirts tucked into the jeans, and sneakers. For extra style points, make sure to cuff the bottoms of your pant legs (and don't forget to wear ankle socks for a more flattering finish with your sneakers). If you want to dress your high rise mom jeans up a bit for an evening out on the town, pair them with boots, a crop top, and throw one of your oversized shirts on over for a cool-yet-casual look that says you've put the effort in but you aren't trying too hard. If you aren't into the shirt look, you could also rock this look with an oversized leather jacket. Finish off the look by layering on some gold necklaces, a pair of hoop earrings, and a watch for some extra bling.
