Well, when you get to the age where mom jeans are what you want, it’s a given that you’re also at the no fucks given age WRT fashion.
It’s as liberating as hell.
I blew past mom jeans and went straight to cargo shorts and a strap belt to hold them up (in spite of being fat, I still have no ass), flip flop sandals and leg warmers. And an oxblood woolrich winter flannel shirt.
I am still confused by the Sydney Sweeney ad showing off jeans.
At first I heard the howling about that ad being dog whistling for Aryan eugenics, I thought it was just overreaction. Then I saw the ad and yeah, it’s absolutely Nazi shit.
Yeah I initially just saw one of them and was like… yeah this is somewhere between ‘pretty edgy’ and dogwhistling…
… and then I saw more from the same campaign and was at the “ok, really?” stage.
But all that aside, I still just don’t get why you’d put her in an ad campaign for pants, telling the viewer they make your ass look great, when what is shown is … again, basically Hank Hill ass.
I guess the marketing execs realized that language is now fully in hyperreality mode, and if you just have generally popular pretty person say thing seductively, it is true.
Someone please stop the capitalist realism ride, I want to get off.
Found them in their Gen-X mom’s closet? I remember a lot of the girls I dated back in the early nineties wore them because they were pretty cheap. You could get them in K-Mart, Wal-Mart, etc. When I met my now wife she would wear Wal-Mart jeans and these bras (also Wal-Mart) that must have been designed in the fifties and had this slightly conical look to them. This country was broke as fuck in the early nineties and we looked it.
Madonna is a well known, more modern wearer of those kinds of bras, but… they were actually a pretty common type of bra going back to the 40s - 60s, worn by Marilyn Monroe and many other actresses and models / pin up girls.
Up coming demographics will usually embrace whatever is cheap and cringey at thrift stores because they are broke. When enough of them buy in it becomes a trend.
this is and always will better than brocolli head and white nike ankle socks
And mom jeans. Why the mom jeans??
Every generation goes through a trend of trying to dress older than they are. Momcore is kind of the GenZ version of Millennial “preppy” look.
tbh that look repulsed me as well 20 years ago, haha
They’re comfy and I like them.
I accept the personal comfort level, but the fashion is atrocious 😩

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ de gustibus, non erat disputandem
Some disputandem
90s retro aesthetic.
Its cool because they look terrible, ironically!
Haha guys isn’t that so clever?
… its basically brainrot irony poisoning as a fashion style.

Booba, she has, junk in the trunk, she does not, and those jeans made her look like she has Hank Hill’s ass.

I swear the conical bras were popular because of Madonna! I don’t know if that’s actually the case but that’s what I always associated them with, lol

Behold, the 1950s ‘Bullet Bra’ fashion trend:

So… Madonna too was actually doing a retro callback, as Gen Zers are now doing with ‘mom jeans’.
Mom jeans are hot
Dad, get off Lemmy.
Lol
