How the ugliest and most unflattering jeans in the history of mankind have crawled back into fashion in the midst of 2014 beats the hell out of me. Unless we’re Cindy Crawford, Linda Evanghelista and the rest of those 80’s & 90’s supermodels, we’re pretty much fucked by this trend, which is lasting for a little over a year now.
They’re the in-between jeans. The ugliest mother fuckers out there, which, alongside their siblings – the Birkenstocks – have started the infamous fashion trend called normcore. Yeah they were cool in the 90s, but I like to think the reason for it was the lack of options, right? And besides, not even back then were they doing any justice to anyone. Except flawless supermodels.
Amen to that.
Why I ended up LOVING the mom jeans trend? No, no. There was no typo there, you read that right. After prolonged consideration (1 year) I am now considering giving these jeans a try. I will go out with them. Wine and dine and all that shit. Of course all is pure theory so far, as I have yet to buy a pair. So, why do I love them now?
- They’re incredibly comfortable. Their ugliness is the best thing about them, cause no matter what pair you choose, you know it’s gonna look meh, but you know that’s not the point. Or better yet, THAT is the very point. We’re not after sexy here, so grabbing a pair off the rack, without even trying it on is the best thing about these jeans. Fit and hotness is not what we’re after.
- They are the definition of French-chic. YASSSS! I mean OUI. Now how many French chic girls have you seen wearing incredibly mainstream clothes (skinny jeans I’m looking at you)? Exactly. Okay… maybe a few, but more often than not these women seem to not give a damn about what they wear in terms of trend consciousnesses hence managing to pull off the ultimate chic and effortless looks. Think mom jeans + white shirt. Sometimes red lips. Sometimes heels, and sometimes flats.
- They’re more than just some… jeans. Maybe some of us have just had it with oversexed up looks & incredibly dolled up styles. Maybe we’re sick of cuts and designs that only show how big, perked up, small, curvy, wiggly or jiggly our bums are. How skinny our legs look. Are they up to our armpits? Do I look like a supermodel in them? Perhaps women just grew tired of all this bullshit, so instead we now choose clothes for the sake of clothes, fun and us. Us being us, not pigeonholed to some TV image par example.
The moment you stop worrying about how hot you look in a pair of jeans is the moment you’ll look hotter than ever. Even in a pair of mom jeans.
Or especially in a pair of mom jeans. They do take a certain kind of coolness, effortlessness and je m’en fiche attitude to be rocked, which will translate into French chicness and incredible personal style.
I sure do hope mom jeans will have a different destiny in my case, and up my French-chic game.
But whatever. That’s the very essence of the mom jeans: to hell with overly-sexy-glam-body-conscious-clothes, and everyone who thinks all women should wear them. As long as boys wear those ‘Sharon-get-in-the-car-pants’ (khaki shorts) I’m sticking with my mom jeans story. :)
And now the pics…
Personally, I cannot stand the high – waisted mom jeans trend. Not one single guy I know finds that look attractive and I am sick of not being able to find low – rise (or even mid – rise jeans anywhere! The high – rise jeans remind me of the coochie cutter shorts, but in jean form. I just find this trend gross and obsolete and hope it goes away soon so I, along with probably a ton of other women, can buy a normal pair of actually flattering jeans again!
I lost my job few months back and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn’t get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Wilfred Doran helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I never believe it but I took the risk to take a loan of $2000. and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I earn $22,500 in 6 working days, the most joy is that I can now take care of my family I don’t know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services.

Wow, fantastic weblog layout! How long have you ever been running a blog for? you made running a blog glance easy. The entire look of your site is fantastic, as smartly as the content material!
Where can I find mom jeans ? Like a high waisted 90’s look
Hey Viviana, I’ve found this pair at Topshop, I think you’re gonna like it, it’s soooo 90s cool: http://bit.ly/1Md7N3N
Hope I helped. :)
Kisses!
Meh. Wear whatever the hell you like and looks good on YOU. If you have a full ass and thighs rock the skinny jeans. If you don’t they’re really not the most flattering jeans. I hate fashion trends. Skinny jeans DO NOT look good on everyone. So there’s no reason EVERYONE should feel the need to wear them.
And those same fucking boots that everyone wears good lord.
Have some originality!
Nah. I’d look like a sausage in them.
ahaha, love them on others, still have to try on a pair. That’s the plan for next week: try on and maybe buy a pair of mom jeans, at least for the sake of the preaching, you know. We’ll see how that goes. Thanks xox
I know how you feel. I love them on other people-they look cool and nonchalant in a French sort of way, as in “pffff I just put on whatever I found on the top of the pile”. I’m just not brave enough to wear them. My only concern is that one day I will pluck up the courage to buy a pair but by that time they will be so outdated again. ..

ahahaha EXACTLY my thoughts, Ana! Ahhh, but I still wanna give them a try, cause I actually do love them on others, so it’s a fashion and style challenge for me right now. Next week gotta find a pair. I agree tho, it’ll be kind of hilarious (the super high waist, long butt, who the fuck wants that? weird crotch? omg), but I shall not give up :)) Thanks Ana xxx
