There\u2019s a reason we keep circling back to mom jeans every single season. Comfortable? Absolutely. Flattering? Hello peachy bum. This \u201890\u2019s icon is the ultimate balancing act between style and ease. But here\u2019s the trick to mom jeans in 2025 \u2014 lean into the nostalgia, but not too hard. Think darker or crisp denim instead of acid wash or elasticated waists. But, most importantly opt for modern or trending footwear and it-girl approved outerwear. That way, you\u2019ll channel effortless cool, not retro costume party clich\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Now that autumn is steadily creeping in, mom jeans are the piece you need to bridge chilly mornings and sunny afternoons. They\u2019re the ideal base for layering, and when styled right, they look straight out of a Paris fashion week round-up \u2014 not a cringy family photo from 1989. We\u2019ve pulled together 7 fresh shoe combos, all inspired by the street style set, so you can keep your beloved mom jeans on rotation and still feel bang on trend for autumn\/winter 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Classic ballet flats\"london,\"pinterest\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Is there anything a pair of ballet flats<\/a> don\u2019t go with? Try pairing black pumps with classic light blue mom jeans to lift the dark edge of the shoe. Match with an oversized bomber jacket for ultimate cool girl energy. Finish off with shades and a slicked-back pony.<\/p>\n

Everyone’s clicking on…Boat shoes, but make it Miu Miu\"paris,\"pinterest\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Who knew old man yacht shoes<\/a> would become the it-girls go to? (Emma Chamberlain called it in 2023, and the trend is still going strong). Lean into the nautical aesthetic with a striped tee, and add a pop of colour with a bright sock to keep the look feeling youthful. A smart black handbag<\/a> ensures the overall outfit is tied together. <\/p>\n

Statement loafers\"mon\"pinterest\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Loafers<\/a> + mom jeans = a match made in heaven. We love this wearer’s multi-coloured statement pair, but you can down a more subtle route. Think those brown M&S ones that keep selling out no matter how many times they are re-stocked. In our book, any loafer goes \u2014 then add a bright, patterned coat and pile on the accessories for a maximalist dream.<\/p>\n

White pointed pumps\"mom\"pinterest\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Light blue mom jeans with white heels can feel very ’80s. Instead, opt for faded black denim for a more modern edge. Add white pointed slingbacks, a slightly unbuttoned white shirt (off the shoulder, if you please), and layered gold jewellery for the cleanest yet chicest date-night outfit.<\/p>\n

Platform chunky boots \"paris,\"pinterest\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chunky platforms are the cheat code to making your legs look twice as long, especially with mom jeans and their high-waist silhouette. Throw on a racer-back vest, a soft pastel-coloured cardigan draped over your shoulders (trust us you will need it), and a black belt to match the boots. The simplest style equation for errand days or spontaneous trips out.<\/p>\n

Everyday trainers\"paris,\"pinterest\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Trainers<\/a> and mom jeans can go very wrong, very fast. So stick to minimal, clean sneakers with a flat sole (nothing too retro), oversized but well-cut outerwear, and staple knitwear to pull it all together. Add interest to your ‘fit with quirky bag charms.<\/p>\n

Mules rule\"berlin,\"pinterest\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ease into autumn by keeping out your leather mules for a few weeks more. Mix and match textures (and seasons) by adding a suede jacket, and summer woven bag<\/a>. The unexpected mix gives your outfit instant depth, and you get to hang onto summer for just that teeny bit longer. <\/p>\n
