It is the cropped look that I'm into. The skirt is an idea, too. Summer is rough for ladies with less than perfect legs ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s/page/2#post-1744855 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 09:10:17 +0000 cyndistar3 1744855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't even own yoga pants lol... do I need to get some now that I am a mom? Am I behind times? I basically only wear jeans, I do have some jean capris be cause I hate my legs but at least they are fitted right? I don't think I've owned a skort since before I hit the double digits of age, I had no idea they were making a comeback! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s/page/2#post-1744812 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 08:53:20 +0000 blackbird 1744812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bahaha i love my lululemon running skirt. But i don't wear it to the park. I can see why people do, though. I love workout gear with the underwear panels built in...i wear them all the time in the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s/page/2#post-1744720 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 08:18:24 +0000 looch 1744720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meredithNYC: I know we said no to the tennis skort earlier in this thread, but check out Athleta, on the Gap site, for other options. I have both the Whenever and Whatever skorts and you would have no idea that they've got little bike shorts underneath. They are all I live in come summer, I also don't do shorts, unless they're bermudas.</p> <p>I also think there's a difference between cropped pants and capris...capris tend to just stop mid calf, with a flare, and cropped pants tend to taper into the ankle, which is a whole different and more modern look. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s/page/2#post-1744707 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 08:15:03 +0000 MrsBrewer 1744707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: yep, I own capris too because my legs are horrible! I don't even own shorts!! I wear those tops that are in the pictures on the other page. Oh well though truthfully, I'm comfortable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s/page/2#post-1743789 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 18:16:38 +0000 photojane 1743789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: all three of those are my mom exactly! so funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s/page/2#post-1743746 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 17:57:13 +0000 meredithNYC 1743746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I also hate my legs and only wear shorts in the extreme heat, so I do go with the capri option usually. However, I think capris are okay, provided they're more fitted. I have a J. Crew pair I bought like, 3 years ago and I think they're pretty respectable. I mean, non-moms have even complimented them :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s/page/2#post-1743653 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 17:01:47 +0000 Mae 1743653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I own 3 pairs of capris lol. Life is hard when you hate your legs! My thighs are awful so shorts are off the table and skirts are only okay if I don't have to walk around much (chub rub). So my options are long pants or capris in the summer and sometimes its just too damn hot for long pants. ah well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s/page/2#post-1743643 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 16:58:18 +0000 MrsBrewer 1743643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I wear a ton of stuff from this thread, and I'm not even a mom yet! :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s#post-1743631 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 16:49:29 +0000 Mae 1743631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Panda: I'll be with you in the more bootcut-ish jeans! I carry weight in my legs and skinnies look just awful on me. </p> <p>Also I totally wear a lot of the stuff from this thread lol. Not sure if I should be bummed because I wear uncool stuff-- or happy (at least?) that I've been wearing it since long before I was a mom so it really isn't LO's fault, I"m just chronically unstylish haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s#post-1743533 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 15:42:40 +0000 .twist. 1743533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: Spot on! In addition, I feel like "mom jeans" were coined as such because mothers lost themselves to their children and let their looks go. Which, as rahlyrah stated, meant they didn't evolve with the times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s#post-1743497 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 15:26:25 +0000 Greentea 1743497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: yes you know! I see a lot of baggy capris with keens, crocks, flip flops... cargo capris with strings at the bottom... tshirts... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s#post-1743467 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 15:16:56 +0000 Greentea 1743467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Panda: flares are classic 1970s, don't worry! What works for your body type is most important. I think *some* things, like pleated tapered jeans and baggy capris just don't really flatter anybody... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s#post-1743464 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 15:16:23 +0000 loveisstrange 1743464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: OMG. yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s#post-1743455 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 15:13:46 +0000 fussygal 1743455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: I've never seen anyone wear a tennis skirt.

Thisthisthis. Floral print stretchy tops like in your second photo. Those slip on clunky shoes too. I'm describing what every older woman in Florida wears. </p> <p>I wear boot cut/flared jeans but mostly because my legs are larger and my calves don't fit into skinny jeans ;( I don't want to be out of style! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s#post-1742889 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 11:05:24 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 1742889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: say it ain't so! i love my fake toms and skinnies. but at least when my kids look back at their childhood photos and see me in them they will know i was stylish then. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s#post-1742764 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 10:17:16 +0000 Anagram 1742764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here you go..... </p> [attach=2976/14/n8cl4s.285x600.capri-pants.JPG] [attach=2976/14/n8cl4u.385x600.capris-3.JPG] [attach=2976/14/n8cl4w.250x250.capri-pants-2.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s#post-1742749 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 10:12:12 +0000 Anagram 1742749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Greentea: agree on the capri pants!!! Those are 1000% mom territory. I mean, you do see young kids wearing them. And teens wear the tighter fitting kind. But I see so many older moms (I'm talking moms in their 40s, 50s, 60s wearing the elastic waist, no shape capris, usually pair with those flowing cardigan-shirt combos. I'll try to find a pic.</p> <p>I am a librarian and at librarian functions, 75% of the room is wearing capris (sometimes even "fancy" capris). It's...interesting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s#post-1742732 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 10:05:48 +0000 catlady 1742732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me, I think it's boot cut jeans. Also pants/jeans that seem a little too loose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s#post-1742724 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 10:01:47 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1742724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not yoga pants or athleisure attire because I'm in college and all the college girls wear yoga pants all.the.time. @rahlyrah: totally makes sense and I think I agree!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s#post-1742705 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 09:51:39 +0000 Greentea 1742705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing I can think of is capri pants and tshirts with flipflops, but all ages wear that! Just randomly piping in :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s#post-1742691 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 09:45:10 +0000 loveisstrange 1742691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @BakerBee: A HUGE chunk of the women I saw walking around on the 4th were wearing them, I also saw a bunch in the past couple weeks when I took C to the zoo and the science museum.</p> <p>Maybe I just notice because I think they're kind of awful... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s#post-1742687 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 09:43:49 +0000 Greentea 1742687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: haha! Yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s#post-1742678 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 09:39:40 +0000 Greentea 1742678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also think it is too bad that "look like a mom" has a negative connotation- or maybe I am just perceiving it that way? I don't think any jeans are "mom jeans" unless they are sexless, and that might be my interpretation of the term. I don't think the term applies/has to apply to a certain cut of jeans necessarily. Also, moms are coool! And certainly not sexless so I want to reclaim "mom look" to mean you look like a good/awesome/hot mom :) Cuz we are, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s#post-1742670 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 09:35:07 +0000 Shutterbug 1742670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha some day skinnies and toms will be the new pleated jeans and keds :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s#post-1742668 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 09:34:44 +0000 looch 1742668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I totally agree, and I think that means that skinny jeans tucked into boots will be similar to the tapered jeans of the 90s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-jeans-circa-2010s#post-1742666 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 09:32:54 +0000 Greentea 1742666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I totally agree! I think "mom jeans" gave moms away only YEARS after people realized they were unflattering. Even non-moms wore those styles at the time- heck, I wore those jeans in 1990 when I was a kid! </p>
