What do you guys wear most days out just doing mom stuff? My last pair of jeans has holes so I’m down to my Zella leggings which I LOVE buf I don’t like my butt not covered in leggings. Do I get more leggings? Some other type of pants? Invest in longer shirts??

@gotkimchi: Democracy jeans off Amazon. More like jeggings and so comfy. Very structured but move with you.
-
@Tanjowen: great I’m checking these right now!
-
Old navy rock star jeggings are pretty comfy and cheap!
-
I wear Hue jeggings ALL the time, I’ve found them on Amazon as well as department stores. Stretchy but substantial, elastic waist
-
I have these super stretchy skinny jeans. They don’t look quite as good as real, good jeans, but for hanging out, doing mom stuff, they are perfect. Nicer than leggings but not as constricting as jeans.

They stretch out a lot so definitely err on the smaller side.

Thanks everyone I’m probably going to order all of these and try them
-
Joggers?
-
@looch: another great idea!
-
I would just buy more jeans.
-
@erinbaderin: haha! I might, but I seem to wear them out quickly, they tend to be expensive and there’s nothing that’s been the 100% perfect jean.
-
I second the old navy rock star jeggings! I also loved the spanx jeggings I got off a recommendation from here but I wore a hole into the crotch after the first few wears, not sure if it was a glitchy pair or a general flaw, they’re too $ for me to try again... also I’m still rocking maternity jeans as they’re comfy af, lol
-
Very unexpected when I found them, but I love Banana Republic OUTLET jeggings. Super stretchy and comfy but look like regular jeans.
-
I third old navy rock star jeans. Some of them are stiffer then others but the dark denim color feels like leggings to me. Top shop jean also have a good feel to them. I like the high waisted Joni jeans.
ETA- rockstar jeans STRETCH a lot. So size down. (I went down two sizes!!) They’ll feel like you can’t breath at first but they totally stretch out quickly.
-
Ponte pants?
-
@youboots: I have some for work that I love, and I was thinking I could prob do those for daily stuff too. They’re ankle length
-
I love my Zellas too! If not in my Zellas, I could slide into my joggers which are supposed to be cool but I kinda feel sloppy bc I wear with loose tshirts. I think they only look cool with fitted tshirts. So I usually just wear those around the house. My toothpick skinny jeans (KUT) are my faves errand runners right now....and the Zellas. https://www.nordstromrack.com/brands/KUT%20from%20the%20Kloth

@808love: I tried some ponte leggings from Ann Taylor and they do not compare to Zella!
-
I own a bunch of Hue jeggings, and I actually have had luck with a lot of jeggings from Walmart! I only wear jeggings with elastic waists and back pockets!
-
@gotkimchi: i love old navy jeggings. Lots of cute colors and comfortable. Usually good prices too
-
I have been buying jeans secondhand due to cost and environmental factors. Just a thought if that is why you don't want to get new jeans.
-
@skipra: I was looking for an old thread were someone recommend a different site instead of thread up but couldn’t find it. Was that you by chance?
-
I just got some stretchy jeans from Uniqlo - they are great and cheap.
-
@gotkimchi: not me! I just go to the local thrift stores. I have found several pairs of high quality jeans that fit perfectly for $5-15.
