Out with the old, in with the...older
They're the backbone of our wardrobes, the saviour we turn to in times of sartorial struggle and the fashion industry's most in-demand item: Skinny jeans, we will forever be in your debt.
The staple in every wardrobe has somehow managed to transcend every season but like most things in life, if you truly love something, you have to let it go.
According to the shopping platform LIKEtoKNOW.it, there's a new style of jean in town and it just surpassed skinny jeans in terms of popularity. Allow us to introduce you to the mom jean. Ripped, cropped, high-waisted or dyed, mom jeans are skinny jeans without the discomfort.
Slowly but surely, mom jeans have been creeping their way out of your mother's wardrobe and into yours. The shopping app revealed that online searches for the retro style are up by a whopping 3700% confirming that mom is the new skinny.
With a relaxed fit, a high waistband, a retro vibe: mom jeans have a lot going for them. Just like your skinny jeans, mom jeans will go with absolutely everything in your wardrobe. From a band tee and runners to a statement blazer and strappy heel, mom jeans are the way forward.
