    I don't get it at all. I wear mom jeans. I like mom jeans. And for the life of me and I can't understand HOW they became unfashionable. I go to the mall and see the muffin tops and the awkward looking bodies and I don't understand WHY people like the jeans that are popular today.

    Honestly, I thought the problem was the obesity epidemic. I thought girls had just gotten THAT lumpy and their figures had gotten THAT unnatural and it was a health problem. I thought that the reason the girls looked frumpy in their jeans was because of some really horrible changes in our country's food. I thought maybe hormones in foods caused young girls and women to have muffin tops and scrawny thighs and droopy butts and awkwardly large rolls of fat hovering on top of their waist bands.

    And then I went shopping for jeans.

    It isn't the girls/women. It is the pants! Hardly anyone can wear those low rise jeans with the button flap pockets and the too long, wide leg pants legs and not look weird.

    High waist. Modest sized non-pocket-flapped pockets. Zippers that don't end right where the stomach bulge (if you have one) starts. Tapered legs.

    This is what I want.

    I agree that I hate jeans that stretch out after an hour. That part is right on. And the part about the way too big, wide spaced pockets, I'll go with that, too.

    But I thought some of the jeans that the blogger declared horrible were the best looking.

    I'm a national embarrassment, perhaps, but I want my stomach covered, even if it means a longer zipper. And I don't want details on my butt that call attention to the wrong angles.

    I'm betting that in 20 years, if that blog post is still out there, people will read it and howl.

    The 7 FAM Bootcut Happy Butt picture in the blog is a perfect demonstration of what I consider a fairly unattractive fit for a pair of jeans. The mom butt beside it is round and girly. The happy butt is strange looking, awkward, and just all around unnatural. That is the look that made me wonder if our food was ruining our female hormones.

    i'm totally wearing mom jeans :laugh: but i still have 2 sizes to lose before i'll spend the $$ on nice fitting designer jeans like rock n republic and true religion that will make my *kitten* look great!

    in the meantime i'm OK with spending $20 for jeans that make me look OK. i'm hoping people are too busy being dazzled by my fabulous boobs to even notice the crazy ON back pockets :laugh:

    i found this quote hilarious :
    So even if they don’t look like Mom Jeans when you put them on, they will before the next episode of Dora the Explorer is over.

    Those are horrendous, it looks like she's wearing a massive adult diaper under those jeans....Maybe she is?! Ugh, yuk! I stick to Seven for All Mankind, J Brand or Blue Cult.

    What are these mom jeans? Where do you buy them cuz if they r comfortable, count me in! I want comfort. And are you all thin & fit enoufh to wear non stretch jeans?does your stomach lap over the waistband like mine? Please don't be a snob to those who aren't into tight, regular jeans. . I LOVE the stretch Jeans, and they don't look like they r stretch and are not cheap. I am heavy and look like a sausage in regulate jeans. I also have a foot long scar down my belly and they are comfortable. SO STRETCH JEANS WORK FOR SOME OE US!

    Best to wear skirts and dresses unless you're in a bikini or workout clothes. Or a belly dance costume.

    Mom jeans should be outlawed. Shame on manufacturers for making them!

    LOVE THIS!! :) I have always been very good about buying classic pieces for work, and am even good about picking my jeans. But, since I've started bringing my daughter shopping with me, I've found that my tops and accessories have gotten a little more fun. She just knows how to mix it up a little cuter than I do. :)

    I found the BEST mom jeans ever at Goodwill the other day. They had PLEATS! The zipper was about 16 miles long and the little tapered ankles were so skinny that I probably couldn't have gotten a foot through them. They looked like diaper jeans, they... were.... awesome. lol.

    I'm fanatical about pocket placement.

    At the risk of sounding vain, I have a great tush. I work really hard at it. So if a pair of jeans makes that tush look bad... that's the jeans' fault and I will NOT buy them.

    Even when I was chunky, I would not wear jeans that didn't flatter my rear. I don't have cleavage. Unless I'm in high heels and a short skirt, I have short legs. My *kitten* is all I got.

    Bump. I love all of the "good styles" in the article. My mom gets 7 FAM, and I will when I loose all my weight. Each pari is $100 and there is no way I will pay that for pants I will only wear for a month. But still NO mom jeans here. :)
