This hilarious post on how Old Navy and Gap sells mom jeans cracked me up:

I haven't bought new jeans in a while, but the brands I've tried are Seven, J Brand, Citizens of Humanity, AG, Joe's Jeans and Hudson. Right now J Brands are my current fave, but there are soooo many designer jeans out there now.
Which brands have you tried, and which ones are your favorite?
