Although mom jeans, in general,
had an overwhelming presence
in our survey, American Eagle’s
high-waisted mom jean is the one
that got the most mentions. As one
teen put it: “They’re so soft and
sturdy, and super-versatile. I can roll
them up or leave them down.”
Another of our respondents noted:
“I just love the quality of the denim,
but you can distress them on
your own if you want. And the waist
fits snug but allows movement,
so you don’t feel suffocated.”THECoolSCALEDenim

a warm and cozy atmosphere! After
a long day at school, I drop my
backpack, go to my room, and turn
on my fairy lights. The glowy
hue that these lights create helps me
de-stress and unwind.” —PHOEBE“I love these lights because they
easily enhance and change
the tone of the room. Besides that,
they are just fun to play around
with and look at.” —JADA-RENEE“Most of the time I don’t even use my
actual lights and just leave the
lanterns on with a candle burning to
make it feel more homey.” —FLORENCE“I hang my Polaroids on these
string lights up on my wall.
I’ll look at them while I’m reading
before bed. They give a soft
aesthetic to the room.” —SYDNEYSTRING LIGHTS
