Remember, mom jeans are also great at flattering figures so you will not have a problem showing off your silhouette. Even those who have something to hide will find that mom jeans are ideal for camouflaging a bit of flesh. You can even dare to wear a cropped top and you will look smashing.

Vintage style is also in and can be achieved by ripping your mom jeans apart. Take a pair of scissors and cut a few lines on the knee. Presto, you will have a stylish piece of trousers.
