Gigi Hadid Just Made Mom Jeans Look Brand New Again in Paris

It’s been a minute since we discussed mom jeans here on Who What Wear, after they peaked in the 2010s, but Gigi Hadid just wore a pair in Paris, so there’s no time like the present to reignite the conversation. As a reminder, the mom jeans trend has origins in the ’80s and ’90s, and is fairly polarizing, as far as denim trends go. The high-waisted, slightly cropped, tight at the top, slightly looser and tapered at the bottom jeans have a reputation of being frumpy, but modern pairs from chic brands are far more flattering than their decades-ago predecessors.

Hadid opted for one of those modern pairs, which she wore to a Paris Fashion Week-related Schiaparelli fitting. She wore a faded black pair, and her styling of them was as 2025 as it gets. She went with a layered look which included a polo top over a black tee, which she finished off with a colorful guest in rstriped barn jacket. And on her feet was a pair of printed socks with almond-toe ballet flats. Perfect styling, if you ask me.

Will this Gigi Hadid outfit make mom jeans a trend again? Perhaps it’s an early indicator, but either way, it’s a great outfit idea, and serves as inspiration in case you want to yours out from your closet, buy a new pair, or wear it with any other jean trend. With that, keep scrolling to shop Hadid’s look and a few of the chicest pairs of mom jeans on the market.
