How MOTHER's lines hold up
MOTHER jeans — what owners report
Owners report soft, stretchy denim that is comfortable for all-day wear and fits well straight off the rack, with no break-in needed. The recurring complaint is sizing: most cuts run roughly true to size, but individual styles run notably small or large, and reviewers describe the sizing as inconsistent from cut to cut. Owners who prefer crisp, rigid denim note the soft hand is not for them, and the high price draws repeated comment.
- Strengths
- Comfortable stretch denim with a fit owners praise straight out of the box, no break-in required.
- Watch out for
- Sizing varies widely between cuts, and the soft, stretchy fabric disappoints owners who want structured, rigid denim.
- Sizing
- Most cuts run true to size and long in the leg, but check style-specific guidance before buying — some styles run small enough to size up and others large enough to size down one or two sizes.

MOTHER hoodies — what owners report
Third-party coverage of MOTHER's sweatshirt line is sparse — the brand's reputation rests on its jeans, and the fleece tops have only a handful of retailer reviews. The owners who have reviewed them are positive: they praise the fabric and fit and rate the pieces five stars. Reviewers report the fit runs true to size with a relaxed cut, and at least one deliberately sized down for a closer look. Retailer listings describe the fabric as mid-weight french terry in 100% cotton.
- Strengths
- The few owner reviews available consistently praise the soft cotton fabric and the fit.
- Watch out for
- Owner feedback is too scarce to establish any track record on shrinkage or long-term durability, and the relaxed cut leads some buyers to size down.
- Sizing
- Reviewers report a true-to-size but relaxed fit; one chose an XS specifically for a tighter look, so consider sizing down if you want a closer fit.

MOTHER shorts — what owners report
Try-on reviewers describe MOTHER's denim shorts as lightweight and stretchy — "insanely comfy" — with a comfortable feel straight out of the box. One reviewer who wore a pair hard through a full summer says they held up and rates the shorts even better than the brand's jeans. Complaints are style-specific: inseams run short for taller wearers, wash colours can look different (less blue) in person than in online photos, and one high-waisted cut with added side paneling struck a reviewer as unflattering.
- Strengths
- Soft stretch denim that reviewers find immediately comfortable and durable through a summer of heavy wear.
- Watch out for
- Short inseams and cut-dependent fit — reviewers flag lengths "right on the edge of being too short" and washes that arrive less blue than pictured.
- Sizing
- Fit varies by cut — one try-on reviewer took her usual size while another went one size up — so check per-style measurements, especially inseam length.

MOTHER sweaters — what owners report
Third-party coverage of MOTHER's knitwear is thin next to its denim, and what exists is positive but limited. One long-form owner review of a MOTHER cardigan calls it 'a substantial cardigan that provides some actual warmth on cool days' but reports it is 'not uber soft' and was 'very itchy' worn over a tank top, settling down once layered over long sleeves. Retailer customer reviews of the brand's knit tops are favorable and report true-to-size fit, though they number only a handful per style.
- Strengths
- The knits reviewers describe are substantial and genuinely warm rather than flimsy, with design detailing that won over an initially skeptical owner.
- Watch out for
- Softness is the complaint that surfaces — the knits can itch against bare skin at first — and coverage is too sparse to establish any durability track record.
- Sizing
- The limited fit feedback available, on the brand's knit tops, reports true-to-size fit.

MOTHER skirts — what owners report
Skirt-specific coverage of MOTHER is thin — most third-party reporting covers the brand's denim range as a whole, which the skirts are cut from. One reviewer who covers the skirts directly describes the mini as comfortable with a snug high-rise waist. Across the denim line, owners report fabric that holds up unusually well — no stretching out or fading after years of regular wear — but sizing that varies noticeably from style to style, with waists running small on some cuts and an overall size range reviewers call not very inclusive.
- Strengths
- Owners consistently report the denim keeps its shape and color through years of near-daily wear and washing.
- Watch out for
- Sizing inconsistency is the recurring complaint — the same person can span two sizes across styles, and some waists run small.
- Sizing
- Owners report sizing differs by style, with some waists running small, so check the per-style measurements rather than assuming your usual size.

MOTHER jackets — what owners report
MOTHER's jackets are cut from the same soft, stretch-blended denim that dominates owner commentary on the brand: reviewers describe the fabric as very soft and flexible, holding up to near-daily wear, with prices running roughly $170 to $700 across the line. Jacket-specific owner data is thinner than for the jeans, but a few dozen renters of the core Drifter denim-jacket style on Rent the Runway average it 4.5 stars, with most reporting a true-to-size fit and a handful finding it large. The softness cuts both ways — reviewers note that anyone wanting rigid, traditional denim may find the fabric too soft.
- Strengths
- Very soft, stretch-blended denim with fits owners call flattering and comfortable, and durability reviewers say survives near-daily wear.
- Watch out for
- The stretch-heavy softness disappoints anyone expecting rigid traditional denim, prices sit at the premium end, and fit varies enough between cuts that reviewers tell buyers to check the size guide every time.
- Sizing
- Fit varies by cut — some styles run small or snug, so reviewers advise double-checking the size guide, though most renters found the core denim-jacket style true to size.

MOTHER t-shirts — what owners report
Owners report MOTHER's tees are soft and comfortable, with cuts that match expectations — one retailer reviewer called the core crewneck 'so comfortable and the perfect size and shape,' and a graphic-tee-focused blogger who owns several ranks the brand in her top two for graphic tees. The recurring gripe is value: even a five-star reviewer wrote that the 'fabric does not equate to price,' and another questioned pricing relative to quality, since the jersey is lightweight. Composition also shifts across the range — one retailer lists a colorway as 100% Supima cotton while another lists a 60% cotton/40% recycled cotton shell — so the fabric feel varies style to style.
- Strengths
- Soft cotton crewnecks and vintage-styled graphic tees that owners find comfortable and well-shaped, with the graphics singled out as among the best around by a tee-focused reviewer.
- Watch out for
- Reviewers — including satisfied ones — repeatedly flag that the thin, lightweight jersey does not feel worth the price, and fiber content differs by style and colorway.
- Sizing
- Retailer fit feedback on the core Lil Goodie Goodie crewneck reports it runs true to size.

MOTHER pants — what owners report
Reviewers report MOTHER's denim-led pants range delivers soft, stretchy fabric that molds to curves and holds its shape through repeated wear, and several say these are the pairs they reach for most often. Fit praise concentrates on curvier builds — one stylist notes they work best for hourglass and pear shapes — while owners who prefer crisp, rigid denim find the soft hand a downside. Price is the recurring barrier, with styles hovering around $230 a pair.
- Strengths
- Soft, stretchy denim that keeps its shape and flatters curvy builds is the consistent praise across reviews.
- Watch out for
- The price draws complaints, sizing shifts between cuts, and the soft stretchy fabric disappoints owners who want structured rigid denim.
- Sizing
- Sizing varies by style — the stretch lets some owners size down, while others size up in specific cuts — so check each fit rather than assuming one size across the line.

MOTHER tops — what owners report
Third-party coverage of MOTHER's tops is thin next to its denim, but what exists is consistent: style bloggers who own several of the tees rank the graphic tees among the best they've tried, and retailer customers describe the shirts as comfortable, well made, and true to the photos. The recurring gripe is price — owners on retailer sites call the tees overpriced for what they are, and bloggers say they only buy the line on sale. Nobody reports durability failures; the complaints are about value, not construction.
- Strengths
- Owners report comfortable fabric and a fit that works straight out of the bag, with graphic tees strong enough that one denim-focused blog ranks the brand in its top two for the style.
- Watch out for
- Price is the complaint that repeats — 'overpriced' and 'a steep price point for a graphic tee' — so experienced buyers wait for markdowns.
- Sizing
- Retailer reviewers report their usual size fitting well in the core tees — one 5'2", 116 lb reviewer took a small and called the fit good.

MOTHER sweatshirts — what owners report
Third-party coverage of MOTHER's sweatshirt range is thin — nearly all owner discussion of the brand centers on its jeans. The retailer owner reviews that do exist are short and positive: two five-star reviews of a popular graphic crew style report the fit is true to size, while the same sweatshirt line averages 3.5 of 5 stars across two reviews at a national department store, so ratings are not uniformly high. Retailer listings consistently describe the pieces as 100% cotton in a mid-weight jersey or knit, with hand-wash, dry-flat care on some styles.
- Strengths
- The handful of owner reviews on record are five-star and call the fit true to size, and listings consistently show all-cotton fabric.
- Watch out for
- There are too few reviews to establish a recurring failure; the practical cautions are fussy care labels (hand wash, dry flat on some styles) and steep retailer markdowns — one style listed at $175 was cut to $70 as a final sale — which argues against paying full price.
- Sizing
- Owner reviews and an editorial sizing guide agree the brand's tops run true to size with a relaxed cut, so most buyers can take their usual size.
