To ask what you think of mom jeans?

[Allinadaystwerk]

My daughter got me to try some on and...
To my surprise, I like them! What are your goes on mom jeans?

Saw them in local M & S Outlet a couple of weeks ago. The fabric is a little bit thicker than normal jeans. These were Mom ankle grazer ones but came in different lengths.

I bought a pair from M & S last year and wore them though the winter.

I only suit bootcut jeans. I walk a lot and so skinny jeans are out because if they fit my waist and thighs I cannot get them over my calves, and if they fit my calves they are baggy above the knees, which is really not a good look! Other jeans just look really shapeless on me. Can we start a movement to bring back the bootcut?

Yes!! Bring back the Bootcut!!!!

I want a pair of boot it’s too, look so good

Boot cuts*

The straight leg also works well on a lot of people.

I love them. I think they suit me but DH thinks they turn the most attractive of people in to shapeless lumps! He hates them, though doesn't stop me wearing them (obviously).

verybritishproblems boot cut really is my style - I'm pear shaped and they really help. i'm glad they are making a come-back.

@Fandanglethat Me too, I’m a classic pear! I’m definitely going to try some on. Where do you get yours from?

As a cyclist, bootcut is horrendous for me. I hated it when skinnies went out of fashion & were hard to get hold of.

I thought the term ‘mom jeans’ was a derogatory comment on frumpy shapeless jeans.

Are they actually called that?

And yes, very 80’s and not in a good way!

They really are called that. Weird, I know. Or maybe not, since they're so awful. Maybe it's supposed to be ironic.

Mom jeans and a great range of other styles and colours are available at Monki , an off shoot of H & M where there is currently 20%
I recently got 2 pairs true dark indigo and black
Cannot recommend them enough , well made, stout denim and very reasonably priced , fast delivery
My requirements for jeans are as follows
Minimal stretch , if any , can’t abide a baggy arsed knee or arse
Must accommodate my smallish waist and wider hips
Must have a decent rise
Robust denim , preferably able to stand up on their own 😂
Minimal fading, holes , tearing etc , specially on thigh area
I have always found jeans incredibly tricky and never really had a pair which fitted me properly and I felt were a flattering shape , these ones are brilliant, they don’t gape at the back fit my waist and stomach skin over the other bits.....
Having worked in relatively high end retail I know how jean shopping expeditions can reduce us to tears so finding the perfect pair feels amazing, I love denim

I really like them but think you have to be fairly slim and pretty tall or they arent very flattering. I'm a 14 now, two stone gain I'd lost previously, thanks covid, and they no longer suit me at all.

Iv just bought some from new look. I thought they looked good on my fat tummy big hips frame.... But I don't have a full sized mirror except for the kids plastic one to check 😂😂

I love them! I’m a size 8, pear shaped and find them so comfortable, I buy mine from H&M or primark, they always fit well.
My DH hates that all of my jeans sit above my ankles though 😂

I really like the look of them! Where do you get them and what are they called? Surely not mom jeans?

I have a small waist but big hips, thighs and bum. They made my large but pert derrierre look saggy. Not the best look for me.

Love them. They flatter my bum and I don't have to worry about the dreaded muffin top or overhang when I sit down. The best ones I've found are ASOS Farleigh. So comfortable, when I put them on for the first time it was a breath of fresh air.

fuckingcovid - yes, that is definitely what they are called - "Mom" jeans. Seen them in M&S and NEXT.

I've deduced that if you're overweight (as I am) no style of jeans is flattering. Mom jeans definitely look better on me than skinny jeans though! I used to love bootcut but somehow these days they make me look shorter and fatter

I've got a great-fitting pair that make my arse look great and waist look tiny(ish) - I love them, and I'm a size 16, so not a skinny teenager. I usually wear them with Vans and a t-shirt.

I love them, I hadn’t worn jeans in years, but got a pair in Zara which I love.

I think skinny jeans look terrible on anyone. Short tall fat thin young old, they look dreadful.

I have a pair on I got in the sale from M&S. High rise and strauighjt leg. Hides my massive tummy, comfy, not tight. Thick material, long pockets. Love them.
