Finding your pair of jeans—you know, the ones that make you feel confident, fit well, and are actually comfortable—seems like a never-ending battle. I don’t even want to think about the number of times that I’ve found myself in a dressing room, pulling rigid denim over sweaty thighs for what feels like hours on end, only to end up with nothing.
In my personal journey to find my go-to pair of jeans, I’ve bought, worn, and fallen in love with (or absolutely hated) countless denim options. I might find a pair that I like, only to discover less than a year later that they wear out or are actually not very comfortable at all.
But throughout my years of wearing jeans, I have found a few pairs that have truly stood the test of time. So we’ve put together this list of the absolute best pairs of jeans for moms, including personal and editor favorites as well as some of our most popular reader favorites. From our go-to brands like Madewell, Old Navy, Everlane, Abercrombie, and more, these are the jeans that will make you actually excited to wear denim. Check out the best pairs of jeans for moms below, in every style you may be looking for.
How we chose the best jeans for moms
With the exception of maybe one or two pairs of perfect jeans, you probably categorize your denim into standing jeans that look great and jeans that are actually comfortable. But who says you can’t have both? To put together this list of the best jeans for moms, we asked our team to share their current favorite pairs of jeans. And boy, did they deliver. We’ve included all of our editors’ favorites, and made sure to showcase different styles to give you plenty of options to choose from. We also made the effort to provide a range of jeans that fit every budget. So, whether you opt for a more relaxed fit or a pair of tried-and-true straight jeans, know that our picks will not disappoint.
Best Relaxed Jeans for Moms
On the days when you want to wear jeans but don’t really want to wear jeans, you can reach for your favorite pair of relaxed denim. These options give off ultimate cool-mom energy but are also extremely comfortable to wear. Opt for a slouchy fit or even a—I know it sounds crazy—low-rise pair.

Best Wide-Leg & Flare Jeans for Moms
Channel your inner ’70s girl with a pair of flare or wide-leg jeans. These are another very comfortable and versatile option. They pair perfectly with everything from a dressy top and heels to your favorite sweater and sneakers. Plus, adding a pair of wide-leg or flare jeans to your denim collection is a great way to switch things up.

Slim- and straight-silhouette jeans are true classics. You always know that they will be flattering and stylish, and they go with any outfit. From everyday straight-leg jeans to a chic pair of slim jeans, these are the ones you can dress up to wear to the office or for date night, or dress down to play at the park with your kids.
