Personally, I have found the difference between these three types of jeans very confusing. Yea they all look the same, but there are some small details that differentiate them from each other. We are facing unmarked territory that hasn't really been clarified for everyone.
Boyfriend Jeans-
The jeans above are from ZARA for $69 and are called "Jeans slim boyfriend Malibu Blue."
When I think of boyfriend jeans, I immediately picture jeans a guy would wear. Of course they are adjusted to a women's body however they are almost the same as guys jeans.
Boyfriend jeans are usually low to mid rise as they sit right on the hip. The denim used for boyfriend jeans are slouchy and sorta have a baggy feel. Things that can help identify boyfriend jeans include the relaxed fit. It carries more of a straight leg that looks loose on the client. Boyfriend jeans also have a baggy shape and they sit lower on the hip. There are high waisted boyfriend jeans however that's when they start to classify as either girlfriend or mom jeans.
Girlfriend Jeans-
The jeans above are from Urban Outfitters for $69 and are called "BDG Girlfriend High-Rise Jean - Light Wash"
Girlfriend jeans are very similar to boyfriend jeans except they are more feminine in certain qualities.
The waist of the jean sits higher on your hip (high rise) and are tighter to enhance curves of the body. The denim is more rigid to offer a more slim fit look. Things to look for when purchasing girlfriend jeans include the slim fit throughout the leg. Most girlfriend jeans are high waisted and tighter on the waist and parts of the leg. They are tighter than boyfriend and mom jeans and have little slouch.
Mom Jeans-
This jean can be found at Urban Outfitters for $69. They are called "BDG Mom Jean - Pintuck"
Mom jeans look like your mom's jeans in the 90s. Very retro, loose, vintage, and simple. They have a very unique style that have made a comeback in full force.
Mom jeans have some very distinctive features that can be spotted. The jean itself is usually high waisted and have a longer waist area in the back. The jeans are supposed to make your buttocks area look longer and flatter. Things to look for include a more relaxed zipper, longer back pockets, and a relaxed fit along the whole leg.
Jeans have been around for decades and have continued to overpower the population for all ages. Boyfriend jeans, girlfriend jeans, and mom jeans have made a big impact to the fashion world today and have changed many perspectives on style. The subtle yet noticeable differences are what changes the human eye to see the beauty in these different jeans.
