Those look just like normal Wranglers/Levy's/Lloyds that my girlfriend would have worn during the 70s, meaning normal jeans as opposed to the low-cut, plumber buttcrack-exposing, skanky jeans that many tramps wear nowadays. So why are the normal jeans called 'mom jeans' rather than simply 'jeans'?😕

And don't make this about the lady wearing the jeans. That was a babe thread and it already got locked (see link above).
 
Well they're not cute or flattering at all, and that's the type of jeans you would expect to see a mom wearing. Jeans don't have to be exposing and skanky. but they don't have to be Soccer Mom either. Jessica has thickened up a bit - which is good. But she should wear jeans that would enhance her newfound thickness. Perhaps some Baby Phat or PZI jeans. Something that looks sexy without looking slutty, or something my mom would wear.

 
The problem is that the jeans your girlfriends wore in the '70's are now the jeans my mom wears. Remember, that was around 35 years ago.
 
those jeans (the ones on JS) are ridiculously tall... and, no, i don't like those skanky muffin-top flat-ass jeans that a lot of girls wear now. don't they make anything in between?
 
When a woman has children, there is no longer a biological reason for her to be "sexy" since she is already a success at reproduction. With no biological need to entice a male, her attire shifts from flattering to comfort. This along with the "mom" haircut comes in when the desire for convenience outweighs the need for looking attractive.

Those jeans look like crap.

I have this very cool memory of my Mom in the 50's, a time when ZERO, that's right, ZERO women wore jeans in public anywhere. She was repainting the inside of our window frames, and for "work clothes" was wearing THE ONLY kind of women's jeans then available on the entire planet.

They looked exactly like classic men's levis, but their top button and zipper was in one of the front side pockets. My Mom was still young enough to look hot, and she did in those puppies.

Oedipal urges. :shftyeyes;

those "slimming" abdomen crushers probably aren't all that comfortable

That was slightly disturbing. But only in a metaphysical sense...
