Mom Jeans Are Back And Even More Comfortable Than Ever

Mom jeans aren’t what they used to be! If you were familiar with the style in the 80s and 90s, you probably remember the high waist, acid-washed color and front pleats of mom jeans. Those days are gone, and mom jeans are back with a new twist – they look great!

If you’re in the market for a super soft, comfy pair of jeans you can wear every day, look no further than our list of the top comfortable mom jeans. Whether you have kids or not, these jeans are going to be your go-to for a day at home or out and about.

1. Standards & Practicies

Soft Distressing Light Wash Destroyed Cropped Ankle Mom Jeans

The first mom jean on our list is our Standards & Practices review. This company is American-based and prides itself on a reduced carbon footprint. Ozone Technology is used to produce each pair of indigo jeans, resulting in cleaner manufacturing and a jean that looks and feels great on you.

The Standards & Practices Hi Wire Soft Distressing Ankle Mom Jeans features a cropped look at the ankle, so you can pair the look with your favorite boots, sandals or even heels. The jeans are imported, but are designed in the USA. Standards & Practices offers international shipping.

We love the stretch of these jeans; a 2% spandex content creates a perfect fit. The Hi Wire Ankle Jeans are available in plus sizes 12 through 22.

2. Porter Blue

Heart Breaker High Rise Skinny Mom Jeans

Next on our list is our Porter Blue review. If you thought mom jeans were always acid washed and extra roomy, we hope the Skinny High Rise Medium Wash Jean will change your mind. This style brings mom jeans into the 21st century.

When you shop the Porter Blue site for your new mom jeans, be sure to check out the size chart. Shop according to your measurements and your jeans will fit you perfectly. We love that the jeans offer extra stretch in the seat without looking baggy, and that a 10” rise gives you coverage – even when you’re sitting or bending over.

3. Goodnight Macaroon

Nadia Distressed Raw Hem Skinny Mom Jeans

The next mom jeans on our list is what we’ve chosen for our Goodnight Macaroon review. These distressed raw jeans are perfect for casual get-togethers or going see your favorite band live. Made with a cotton/acrylic blend, the Nadia jean features a distressed look and a frayed hem.

Pair these Goodnight Macaroon mom jeans with a cute crop top or a sweater in the cooler months; you’ll love the relaxed stretch and comfort of the Nadia. We love that these jeans are machine washable, but customers who are Nadia jean veterans say it’s best to air or line dry them.

While you’re shopping for your Nadia jeans, be sure to take a look at the Goodnight Macaroon full catalog. You’ll find plenty of eco-friendly, organic and fair trade options to add to your wardrobe, no matter what season you’re shopping for.

5. Mango

We’ve mentioned that there’s certainly a “classic” look for mom jeans, and if that’ the look you’re going for, this Mango review is exactly what you need. These jeans embody the style of the mom jeans you’ve come to know and love, and they’ll fit the same way.

The Mango high-waist mom jean features a button fly, a cropped length and an ultra-high waist. You can choose from six colors, but for a classic look go with the bleach blue. Your jeans are made from eco-friendly organic cotton and are machine washable.

Mango offers free and fast delivery on all orders over $29, so your jeans will qualify. However, we think you’ll love combining shipping with some of the other great natural, organic and eco-friendly products in Mango’s catalog.

6. Outerknown

The Outerknown catalog features products for men and women that are sustainably made, fair trade and earth-conscious.

7. United by Blue

United by Blue is one of our favorite clothing retailers. In addition to partnering with organizations to create fashions from plastics, the company also sponsors frequent waterway cleanups around the United States. If you’d like to participate in a cleanup, simply check the calendar to find an event near you.

For our United by Blue review we’ve selected these mom jeans that are both flattering and eco-friendly. Elasticity around the thighs gives you the fit you need while a straight, skinny leg offers the “mom” look you’re after.

Eco-friendly dyes, a low water consumption manufacturing process and the fact that these mom jeans are made in a vertically-integrated factory make these some of the most sustainable jeans we’ve found to date.

8. Able

Able understands that fashion is one of the biggest industries employing women worldwide. That’s why they launched the company – to make a difference in the working conditions and lives of women around the globe. Only around 2% of fashion workers are paid a sustainable wage, so Able has committed to publishing its lowest wages in each factory in Tennessee, Ethiopia, Brazil, India and Mexico.

The mom jeans we’ve selected for our Able review are stretchy yet straight-leg, and offer full coverage but with a cropped cut. Your jeans are handcrafted in Mexico where all workers are paid an hourly wage according to the cost of living in the area.

No matter what clothing, handbag or jewelry you’re shopping for, be sure to check Able first. Your purchase will empower women globally and help workers support and sustain their families.

10. Sanctuary

Last on our list of the top sustainable mom jeans is a classic in itself: our Sanctuary’s review. Sanctuary’s is, in a sense, the “mother of blue jeans.” Established in 1853 as a workers’ brand, the company has grown to be no less than a household name.

Our Sanctuary’s mom jean is the Wide Leg High Rise Jean. Available in distressed style, this jean will give you the quality and the fit you’ve come to expect from the company. A frayed hem is cropped and looks great your flip-flops or your favorite trainers. Customers say that they fit more like a legging than a jean, but that the comfort is second to none.
