A Definitive Ranking of the Best, FUPA-Defying Mom Jeans

Our top pick goes to Topshop. Not only do they come in a wide array of colors (including acid wash), they are super affordable and have a higher inseam than most styles. 

Everlane makes some of the best, no-stretch denim. We especially love the eco-friendly brand for offering two different inseam lengths. For petite girls like myself, the ankle cut fits me like a full-length jean. 

You can trace the return of the mom jean back to Re/Done, who reworked vintage Levi’s for a modern body. Fans include L.A. it-girls, like the Hadids and Emily Ratajkowski. 

Speaking of Levi’s, the denim giant recently launched their own mom jeans that are just as good as vintage 501s. 

Agolde is fast-becoming one of our favorite denim brands. The Riley jean will not give you a FUPA, a tragic side-effect of most mom jeans. 

& Other Stories is one of our favorite places to buy pants. Their denim fabric is super soft but offers no stretch. Everyone will think these jeans are designer. 

For a slouchier fit, look to Reformation. Their styles are more boyish, and look best with sneakers. 

Goldsign is a Los Angeles-based label that’s been around since 2005, but recently came up on our radar for their perfect Benefit jeans. We love the true blue shade of this pair the most. 

ELLE.com’s style director loves these jeans so much she has them in black, blue, and is considering buying these white ones as well.
