The Best Mom Jeans for Pear Shape Mid Size Bodies

Today is ALL about MOM JEANS! More specifically the best mom jeans for pear shape midsize girls like myself!

I’ve tried a LOT of mom jeans on – A LOT A LOT – and I’ve lived to share it! Jeans are a wild item of clothing – one day they fit one day they don’t – one color in a particular style fits, another one doesn’t. They literally have a mind of their own and it’s SO hard to shop for them so I thought I’d break it down as best as possible and let you know exactly which pairs are currently working for me and why AND what pairs aren’t working right now.

But first here are a few things to pay attention to when shopping for Mom jeans:

The material of the denim – What percentage of cotton? Polyester? Elastane? This makes a HUGE difference in how they will fit on you. I also suggest double checking the make-up even if you’re just buying the same pair of jeans you already have, but in a different wash or color. I can’t tell you how many times I found a perfect pair of jeans and order them in a color and they fit completely different because I didn’t pay attention to the materials!
Try not to be discouraged by size – In this post I’m sharing 5 pairs of mom jeans and I’m wearing THREE different sizes. I still struggle with the size element of shopping and having to size up, sizing across brands (and even within the same brand) is SO inconsistent that “not being discouraged by a number” is something I have to remind myself daily.

American Eagle Ripped Mom Jean with Comfort Stretch Waistband

$49.99 – Shop them HERE
Shown here in “Cool Classic” with Comfort Stretch Waistband
95% Cotton & 5% Polyester
Rise 11.75″
Leg Opening 13.5″
I’m wearing a size 12 Regular. Regular is referring to the inseam. These are also available in X-Short, Short, Long & X-Long.
These have the Comfort Stretch Waistband which is a GAMECHANGER for these mom jeans. This gives the waist the stretch it needs while being able to keep the rest of the jeans more rigid.
These are hands down the best fitting mom jeans I own and I think once you scroll through all the photos you’ll see they look the best too!

American Eagle Ripped Mom Jean with Comfort Stretch Waistband

$49.99 – Shop them HERE
Shown here in “Coldwater Rinse”
100% Cotton
Rise 11.75″
Leg Opening 13.5″
I’m wearing a size 12 Regular. These are also available in X-Short, Short, Long & X-Long inseams.
These also have the Comfort Stretch Waist Band (same as the jeans above), BUT they are 100% cotton and have no stretch in the hips which I desperately need! Because there is no stretch anywhere else the waist on these gaps and they aren’t nearly as comfortable has the above pair. (Check out this video of how they fit)

H&M Mom High Ankle Jeans

Only $29.99 – Shop them HERE
Shown here in “Light Blue”, but I also have “Light Denim Blue/Washed”
98% Cotton & 2% Elastane
High Waist (doesn’t have exact rise on site)
Leg Opening on the smaller side. I would say around 12 inches if I had to guess.
I’m wearing a size 8. But I recently ordered another pair and the 8 were too small. So I don’t know
These are VERY comfortable to wear thanks to the washed stretch denim
Cotton content is partly recycled!

Abercrombie & Fitch Curve Love High Rise Mom Jean

- $99 – Shop them HERE (but I don’t think they’re worth this price, try and buy them on sale)
- Shown here in “Dark Destroy”
- 99% Cotton & 1% Elastane
- Rise 11.25″
- Leg Opening 13″
- I’m wearing a size 30R. R standing for Regular Inseam, but also available in Short & Long. I do wish these were slightly longer so maybe I need the Long inseam.
- The Curve Love line features an additional 2 inches through the hip and thigh from their classic fit denim
- I love the fit on the legs of this vintage denim, it has the perfect amount of stretch and they’re very comfortable, but they’re a little loose around my crotch and it makes them look weird sometimes. I think I’m actually going to try the Classic Fit next.
