WTF is with all the young'uns wearing MOM JEANS? I don't get it! They're SO uncomfortable!!! Either they fit in the waist and they're baggy as all get-out in the ass, or they're too tight in the butt and too loose in the waist. And don't even get me started on the likelihood that these pants will show off a great camel toe!!! Nobody needs to see that!   I just don't get the appeal.

 

There must be a contest happening to see who can keep me on off-topic rants the longest! 

 

I moved my super important Mom Jeans analysis to a thread, @Eggers feel free to cut and paste away!

We've had a few conversations about the abomination that is 20 year olds in mom jeans. Here's the thing, I think the whole thing is based on a misunderstanding. In the 80's, denim didn't have 2% Lycra or spandex or whatever. Lower rise jeans hadn't been invented yet, but when guess came out with the shorter front zippers, the leg taper, and the zippers on the ankles, it was a BIG FUCKING DEAL. I worked in an expensive "designer" (Sassoon, Gloria Vanderbilt, etc) denim store thru HS so I know too much about 80's denim. I tried on every single pair that we ever got shipped in that ducking store. The owner had a great eye for denim and did custom alterations. He always steered customers to the smallest size possible because the denim stretched naturally, not because it had Lycra. Which meant it didn't snap back to its original shape until washed and shrunk and then restretched through honest movement and thick thighs. But here's the thing, the waist bands are double/triple sewn and reinforced AND DO NOT STRETCH. So those tight waist bands chose the path of least resistance, which means RIDING UP to the thinner waist than down to the thicker hips, which lead to that look of puffy belly and camel 🐫 toe. So anyone who's wearing it because it's a retro look is not understanding that people only looked like that back then because no one had bothered to put Lycra in the denim! It's a fashion trend based on a misunderstanding and a lack of denim technology.

P.S. please try to remember what I said about waist bands choosing the path of least resistance when cutting jeans into shorts and add 2 inches to where you think they're going to start showing off your legs. And make the inseam approx 1/2 inch longer than outseam so it doesn't look like your inner thighs are sucking the shorts upwards.

We totally need a "GOING OT" thread, where we can just copy/paste, and continue on our merry way!  

 

This. All of this. Every last thing you said up there. No Lycra, reinforced waistbands, paths of least resistance, and thighs sucking shorts upwards. Horrible business, all of it.  

 

I work with 3 girls who wear these pants all the time, and I feel SO physically uncomfortable whenever I look at them, it's like I'M wearing the horrible jeans. 

 

As far as shorts go, I've taken my own path of least resistance, and started cutting my jeans from my chubbier days. Yeah, they're baggy and loose and look like sh*t, but man, they're comfy. And given that I'm in the middle of my "f*ck it forties", I'm okay with that.

On application, the musk almost made me want to wash it off immediately. It came across such sharp scent which shot right to my 3rd eye. With time and patience, it wears very close to the skin and probably great for an evening of pampering on the couch. I can see myself wearing this if only I apply at least 2 hours beforehand.
