My DD thinks I need to get out of mom jeans. I have a couple pairs of low rise ones to wear when she is around and have hidden my mom jeans to wear the rest of the time!

I loved hip-huggers when I was a teen, but today's "low-rise" jeans are just too low for my taste, even when the kids wear them. IMO it gives them an odd shape.

At my age and weight, I wouldn't even wear hip-huggers, if they were still around. My jeans tend to come to my belly button or waist, depending on the pair.

Me too; can't stand anything on my waist- it's very uncomfortable. I used to have gerd (reflux disease) and when I stopped wearing high waisted pants it helped immediately. Lower rise jeans and pants are getting harder to find, around here everything is waist high now, so I will be wearing my old stuff for a long time!

Ditto Farm & Fleet

Boy, do I agree with that! If they only knew how awful they looked!!

I like the Levi's 512 too. DD approves of these, because they do not have any elastic in the waistband.

Someday she too will understand WHY elastic waistbands are nice! I found out when wearing maternity clothes many years ago...

I hate the low rise stuff too.

Mm Hm...boot cut!!...try to find those. PLEASE..NO high waisted! I'm 5'2" and those make me look and feel cut in half.

This is funny. My 17 yr old boy, told me that my jeans were granny pants. I asked why and he said because they covered my belly button. I laughed and told him that I was over 40 and a mom and his reply was we're going shopping cause you don't look that old. Not sure if it was a compliment or not. But I did find a pair that were still modest. No plumbers crack or thong showing here.

I love my mom jeans. They drive my sisters nuts but I think they look far better than a "muffin top" spilling out over the sides of your pants. Wear what you want.
