As far as denim trends go, 2017 was undoubtedly the year of mom jeans, like it or not. The latest iteration of the trend is decidedly cool, flattering, and vintage-inspired (in contrast to the jeans that actual moms wore in the '90s).
A big part of wearing denim the right way is knowing which shoes to pair with them, and we've noticed that stylish celebs have really embraced four shoe trends, in particular, that make mom jeans look amazing every single time. And since two of them are casual and two are a bit fancier, there's something for every type of look you're going for.
Read on to see which four shoe trends celebrities wear with mom jeans.
White boots make mom jeans feel fresh and modern, as proven by these recent celeb looks.
