23. High-Waisted Jeans
How you present yourself to the world can say a lot about you, and avoiding these 23 mom fashion fails is crucial when putting on a good front— for you and your kids.
Face it, nobody looks hot in high-waisted jeans.
22. Headbands And Other Childish Hair Accessories
Don't add fuel to the "mom jean" fire by rocking this out-of-date look.
Flower headbands are super cute for college-aged women and little girls.
21. Sheer Anything
You would probably be only mom rocking a daisy headband at the PTA meeting.
Unless you're Kim Kardashian, sheer tops are not a thing.
20. Destroyed Denim
They aren't flattering and lack the coverage any self-respecting mom should want when going out in public.
19. Message T-Shirts
Why pay more for destroyed denim just to look like you're trying to dress like your teenage daughter?
Save your "I'm grumpy" message shirts for bedtime.
18. Mini-Skirts
As a mom and mature adult (assuming), message shirts need to be a thing of your past.
Not to pick on Britney, but she does prove my point. Mini-skirts, particularly denim ones, need to be a thing of the past.
17. Mismatched Socks
Especially if you're a mother.
16. Oversized Handbags
Wearing mismatched socks is basically broadcasting to the world that you can't keep track of your laundry, which is not something a mom wants to be known for.
We get it, you have a lot of stuff to carry as a parent.
15. Furry Boots
That doesn't mean you need to carry around a bag that's as big as you are.
Sure, moms can buy furry boots if they really want to... for their kids.
14. Sweats With Writing
No adult can be taken seriously while wearing these atrocities.
13. Glitter Makeup
Wearing sweatpants with writing across the butt is so high school, and pretty much the equivalent of a tramp stamp.
Covering your face is glitter is practically announcing to the world that you never learned how to properly buy— or apply— cosmetics.
12. Leggings As Pants
As a mom, you may want to stay clear of anything your pre-teen daughter also wears, and that includes glitter eyeshadows.
11. Pink Hair
It doesn't matter how great of shape you're in, nobody should be wearing leggings as pants!
10. Short Shorts
The fact that pink-colored hair is popular among teenagers right now proves that no respectable mother should be rocking the trend.
9. Short, Skin-Tight Dresses
Walking around with your booty cheeks hanging out isn't cute at any age, much less when you're a mother.
Even Britney Spears needs to say "no" to mini-dresses, and so should you.
8. Crop Tops
Mini-dresses were cute for your 20s, but it's time to grow up now.
There's a good reason it's mainly teens and young adults who flaunt crop tops.
7. Tiaras
Let's leave the belly-baring shirts to the girls who don't have kids to embarrass.
No grown woman should be acting like a princess, and that includes wearing a tiara.
6. Overalls
These shiny accessories are cute for your kids, mom, but not you.
5. Stripper Heels
Everything about adult overalls just screams "frumpy!" And no, pairing them with heels doesn't make it a grown woman outfit.
There's never a right time or place for a mother to be seen in stripper heels.
4. Tube Tops
Plus, there's plenty of appropriate options that don't involved 6-inch plastic heels.
3. Fishnet Tops
Do yourself a favor and avoid looking like a porn star by staying far away from anything strapless.
There's nothing grown or sexy about fishnet tops.
2. Mesh Bra
Not even as bathing suit coverups, ladies.
It's not attractive when Kim Kardashian does it, and it won't be attractive for you either.
