Mom jean is a high-waist, solid mid-blue (no distressing or rips), full hip and thigh with a tapered leg and cuff silhouette, and [they] button above the belly button with a roomy hip and thigh. Mom jeans have been lumped into ‘90s style denim, which also includes baggy, straight, boot cut and wide-leg denim.

Flats

These shoes are a no-brainer choice: Ballet flats, loafers are perfect for mom jeans silhouettes. No rolling necessary. Easy and clean.

Fancy Heels

This season, mom jeans are looking—dare we say it—sexy, since they’re showing up on fashion show attendees paired with satin pointy-toe pumps, the kind of shoes we usually associate with micro-mini skirts. We recommend pairing a super cool sweatshirt with mom jeans and fancy heels, or a sharp blazer, tee and mom jean with a fancy heel.

Classic Sneakers

Sneakers easily pair with mom jeans. Showing the ankle bone, which is the smallest part of the leg, is most times the most flattering. It’s one of the stylist’s tricks.

Established fashion designer Veekee James recently shared some valuable wisdom with aspiring designers. In an Instagram post uploaded on May 14, 2024, she focused on the importance of brand protection. Veekee James offered key steps that up-and-coming designers can take to safeguard their creations and build a thriving fashion brand.

She wrote,

“I don’t know anything about the issue going around on social media so I can’t really speak on it! Here’s my advise as someone who has been there done that.”

In her advice to aspiring designers, Veekee James emphasised the importance of setting clear boundaries with clients, particularly regarding payment and social media recognition.

She cautioned designers against situations where a client offers social media recognition (tagging the designer on a post) instead of proper payment for their work. This puts the designer in a difficult position, forcing them to choose between financial security and potential brand exposure.

She suggests designers establish clear terms upfront with clients.

“Once anyone comes to you with the ‘Do you want money or tag’ phrase, You better run! I’ve had so many of your faves, both in this country and abroad, use that phrase with me and that was it! Today some of these people will give anything to be in my piece! No cap. It just shows no respect or regard for your brand! Once you allow that, it confirms the fact that your brand has no value whatsoever!” she warned.

In her talk, the designer stressed the importance of clearly communicating a brand’s values to celebrity clientele.

“Be wise! Don’t let money come first before the important things! Sacrifice in business is a must! As long as you have made glaring the values of your brand, be ready to collaborate sometimes only with celebs who respect you as well! Never forget that it’s a win-win for you and the celeb! No one is doing you a favour!”

She stressed the importance of both staying true to your beliefs and not relying solely on celebrity clients for publicity.

“Don’t be desperate to be known through a person! You must know that only God is the LIFTER of Men! He will use only the people He chooses to lift you! Don’t try to do what only God can do for your brand! Don’t expect publicity from every celebrity and make desperate decisions without thinking!” she said.

The celebrity designer added,

“If you want to be a fashion designer, go and research the true meaning of being a designer! So that you don’t end up being a tailor parading him or herself as a designer! If you are a designer, do the work of a designer!”
