Re: NYT on a "new denim cycle"

I agree that they look terribly unattractive!  That picture doesn't do the pants justice.

 

My look is totally different.  You'd never know that they are the same pants!

Everyone has their own taste but in my opinion, those jeans do not look attractive and they are about 4 inches too short. That's not a look that I will ever wear.

I do love "paperbag" waist jeans! (and shorts!)

I saw this too!  I had only started to accept skinny or straight jeans in 2019, before that, just bootcut.  2020 of course was the lost year, but wore straight jeans the few times I left the home.  I guess I am glad I still have my boot cuts and can wear them.  I rarely see any of these big jeans out and about, it's mostly, skinnies, straight, or leggings.  No paperbag pants for me.

Re: NYT on a "new denim cycle"

Nothing being produced these days will ever match the original "mom jeans". They were the unfortunate result of denim with no stretch. A high waist without some stretch is very hard to fit especially when you have hips. Pair that with a narrow ankle and a full leg and you get the dreaded 'mom jean' effect because they don't fit properly through the hips.

 

I have a couple pairs of jeans that were labeled 'mom jeans'but the only similarity is the high waist
