[@Meggsie]

I hated it when the low rise pants came in style. So many butt cracks..... I used to poke holes in my belts to get them tighter to avoid showing my own butt crack. When high rise came back in style I stocked the hell up. xD

[@lanaissa5504]

Me tooooo😩😂

[@HardKore5250]

I thought woman like to be sexy.

[@alexa-pz8wk]

low-rise pants suck and are unflattering

[@RainbowSprnklz]

i just realized that this is a rather small channel which is weird cause your videos are QUALITY and algorithm friendly

[@jimenagarcia9761]

RainbowSprnklz wtf is algorithm friendly and how is that a plus

[@RainbowSprnklz]

Art ByJ youtube is more likely to put quick, binge-able videos in users’ recommended (basically things that follow a buzzfeed format) it’s not necessarily better content that way, but i would just expect something like this to be more popular

[@jimenagarcia9761]

RainbowSprnklz oh ok

[@NA-oc7eq]

I hope this trend will be going through the next decade, they're very useful because they had deeper pockets and it slims your tummy giving you an hourglass shape. Also you don't have to pull up everytime you take a seat somewhere. Unlike lowrise jeans, ugh, tf.

[@Christinar626]

Ellie SoFab they’re terrible if you actually have an hour glass shape though which I find funny. They also give everyone I’ve seen wearing them such a flat ass. 😂

[@NA-oc7eq]

Well it depends tho, those with not too thick people i prefer them to wear skinnier mom jeans more than those slightly baggy mom jeans, that way it hugs them well and accentuates their silhouette. Only thick people can pull off those slightly baggy jeans because it has room for their ass.

[@lovemadeinjapan]

@@Christinar626 The more mom you get, the flatter your ass becomes...

[@FallacyUnknown]

Well you called it lol

[@ashleynichole8687]

From ages 12-23 I never wore anything other than skinny jeans (2006-2017). Just this year, I bought mom jeans for the first time. I have been BLESSED. They are worlds more comfy than any other jeans I’ve worn in my teenage/adult years. Thank the lord for whoever brought comfy jeans back into style. You are a saint.🙌🏻

[@cSedx00022]

I used to wear skinny jeans when I was little, but I realized they were too uncomfortable, so I switched to sweatpants. Then, I discovered mom jeans and they were so much more stylish and comfortable.

[@LaAyla-wl2wm]

My mom told me when she was a little girl, one day she was out riding her bicycle wearing "pedal pushers" and a neighbor lady waved her over. This neighbor basically said "Only very badly brought up girls wear that sort of thing, dear, and don't you think you'd better go right home and put on a nice dress like the good girls wear?" Mamma's reply was "But I am being good, my daddy told me to wear these so i don't ruin my dresses for school"

[@bluefox7678]

That. is. GOLD!

[@marije-382]

I’m dreading the day when low-rise jeans make a come back.

[@100SmilesAway]

Also they're comfy AF

[@eyeana_1529]

skinny ones don't

[@emmaponymous]

I thought they were called "mom" jeans because they were high-waisted and baggy enough in the front to contain saggy post-maternity abdominal skin.

[@annp9704]

Exactly!

[@HeavymetalHylian]

I'm so glad that "mom" jeans are in - they don't fall off your hips like low rise, but low rise is going to make a comeback eventually.

[@cloflomonster]

For millennials, I recognized the mom jeans resurgence came after the High Waisted Shorts/Daisy Dukes trends brought on by boho festival wear in the late 2000s-era/early 2010s. We were all looking at Goodwill and raiding our parent's closet for the perfect 80s/90s high-waist jeans to cut them shorter, but started realizing that once 90's grunge and normcore came back, we stopped cutting our jeans and wore them as is. Skinny jeans were passe and mom jeans were in.

[@av782]

The creators of Normcore didn't intend for that to be a "thing" at all. It was essentially a glorified art project done by a bunch of flatmates following them finding out about "trend forcasts," only everyone took it seriously and they ended up banking on it quite well. There is a fab video on vogue about it with Alexa Chung. www.vogue.co.uk/video/the-future-of-fashion-with-alexa-chung-series-2-episode-2

[@kissedbyearth5162]

I actually wear my mom's old Levi's 501s from the '90s and they're my favorite

[@janne6200]

For a second i thought it was zooey deschanel in the thumbnail!

[@mikaela5358]

That snl skit is the whole reason I clicked this video 😭

[@zyciekota]

Gah loved my dad’s bright high waisted jeans from the 90s so much they’re the reason why I feel pain from thinking about how impossible it was to buy trousers in the 2000s 😅

[@RuRaynor]

They're not mom jeans unless they do that gross baggy crotch "fupa" thing at the front 😣

[@romeoslover817]

mid rise is my favorite because i am short waisted and the mid rise hits me at the waist. the high waisted pants hit me at the bra band

[@MedievalMiniskirt]

NORMCORE LMAOOO I remember trying to dress that way

[@heatherpowell1838]

To me, normcore is anything that's ever sold at The GAP lol

[@abigailm7081]

I appreciate the well written script of this video. Snaps to the writers👏🏽

[@cyzhouhk]

Next, I’d love you to do the history of hoodies, that’s my favorite thing to wear at home for comfort.

[@julzalta6466]

I actually look like my mom with these. I love it.

[@generalpurpose772]

I wanted a pair of Levi’s 501s, but the sizes in the UK only go up to a 32 waist for women and I’m usually a 36. So I got a pair of their mom jeans, they only cost £60 and I got them in a 32 waist and they fit like a dream. I was originally a convert to the skinny jean, and I still love my super high waisted skinny jeans but they usually aren’t made with the best quality of denim but I need the stretch for my hips. I’m wearing my mom jeans right now, and I think I’ve fallen in love. These jeans will last me so much longer than my other pairs ever will.

[@lolam.9291]

I’m rectangle in shape; basically, I don’t have a waist. Even before low rise jeans came out, I was wearing boy jeans to obtain the low rise look, and this was around the time when mom jeans became popular, and that was in the early 90’s... Now, high rise jeans are back in style, including mom jeans. I don’t necessarily like the look of mom jeans, but I look at myself today in high rise jeans and I guess I do not look half as bad as I thought I did back then when I wore them. At least I don’t have to worry about my butt crack showing with the high rise jeans 😜...

[@squirehaggard4749]

Yet another reason I'm glad to be GenX: I just kept wearing 501 STF from the early 80s to the present. Still wear topsiders, too....

[@captainzayatc]

I've been wearing topshop's mom jeans since 2013 and I don't want to wear anything else

[@AlicePerezSoprano]

I hope low rise jeans never come back in fashion

[@outlawfly664]

Only women say that. Every man loved low rise tight jeans from the early 2000s, women where hotter to back then. Every man hates baggy high rise or mom pants.

[@vanessaajohn]

Can’t wait for this channel to blow up!

[@dianabuck7310]

Whale tail and muffin top are two different things.

[@banannakis6723]

The problem with low-rise jeans is that in many ways they don't fit a lot of body types. Or at least it led to a lot of whale tails and muffin tops, which weren't flattering. Also, the crime was that a lot of them had tiny little pockets. I have a high waist, so that trend always looked horrible on me because they would always fall down. People should be dressing for their body type and not a trend. I like high-waisted because it's comfortable, has better pockets, and is more flattering on me.

[@Slaycentral466]

Mom jeans are beautiful and so much more comfortable

[@lilsmarti7993]

Where did you get that amazing striped top?!

[@clairedonnaryan]

good video but there were some mistakes- id fact check a little more next time. excited to see what this channel comes up with soon!

[@TracyMarie71]

Levi’s have always been a staple. No matter what size I may be I can get a pair that will fit.

[@zhisu2665]

i love themmmmm and i hate wearing pants

[@vic6099]

I love mom jeans, they’re so comfy

[@anabellamm]

Very interesting.

[@ebonydarknessdementiaravenway]

Why did she look like a blonde Zooey Deschanel in the thumbnail tho?

[@kimhaas7586]

I loved my Levi’s 501 buttonfly jeans *because* they weren’t mom jeans. My butt did look good in them. I wouldn’t have been caught dead in the kind of mom jeans my sister wore.

[@mimaesthetic2517]

Oh Gosh I accidentally tried on some mom jeans in Zara because I thought the blue black wash was beautiful and on the hanger, it looked like my high waist straight crop jeans (a little bit like a Wedgie Straight).... Terrible.. the baggy crotch thing...just terrible, I mourned that blue black wash that would never come into my wardrobe.

[@SighDown]

Jeez, low-rise flares were HUGE in the eighties!

[@hadihatab3126]

SighDown actually the 70s, by the 80s high waisted skin tight jeans were in style like Jordache and Gloria Vanderbilt.

[@thejanaeway6500]

YES THE RAMONES!!

[@wendyleeconnelly2939]

Baby Boomers vs Millenials? Around 2:10? Doesn't she mean Gen Xers vs Millenials? Those of us who like high waisted peg leg jeans are Gen Xers. Baby Boomers were the people wearing the bell bottoms of the 60s and 70s. That's my only argument with the piece though. Good job otherwise. Like this kind of thing.

[@dylanlafreniere3479]

Rarely anything is don’t for practicality.

[@bozzskaggs112]

What is the name of the blonde presenter/spokesperson/cutie pie in this video and several others?

[@mimiroxby4275]

you look like a blonde zoey deschanel!!

[@floralnadia4169]

You look like zoey d in almost every thumb nail

[@goetiagirl]

can we get the story of false Eyelashes?

[@hbs1646]

Well im 14 and i still wear them soooo They are not only for moms😝

[@HardKore5250]

You look like a young Goldie Hawn.

[@electricblue777]

wow! i finally get it. so the millenials “irony” thing is “normcore.” or looking as boring and rehashed as possible isn’t due to a lack of creativity. it’s because it’s “frightening” to look normal! uhm...no not really it’s just...boring tasteless forgettable and totally unoriginal. ok, that explains a few things as to why i keep seeing such boring yawn worthy fashions on younger folks. i hope things get more interesting eventually.

[@Eccentric-YURR]

I dont call them mom jeans, I call them high waisted jeans.

[@---kj4wf]

Nope Nope Nope, if those thing come back into style, I’ll stop wearing jeans. They add 20 pounds, especially if you wear a long top over them.

[@degrassi420]

sorry its just people are complaining

[@nascagordillo1326]

History of tights

[@jeydotz]

James dean my hubbyyyy

[@davidburton4582]

Obama also made mom jeans popular.

[@danielwiebe2123]

Wait, what? Mom jeans don’t make anyone’s but look good.

[@rose4490]

Barrack Obama wore mom jeans.

[@adrianabecerra2078]

I don't like low rise jeans. That's just me.

[@coralarch]

You talk so fast I can scarcely keep up with you.

[@jacquelinerogers7383]

You look like zooey Deschanel

[@yz4043]

High waisted jeans?

[@jenniferc8913]

Mom jeans are not flattering on anyone. Sorry not sorry.

[@Mocha-Koffee01]

100th comment.

[@aiai-j7i]

Please stop the vocal fry...it simply cannot be good for your vocal chords....I like your videos but really...

[@kissberrywish]

vocal fry is a completely normal speech variation, spare her your concern

[@Liusila]

kissberrywish Yeah, it might seem annoying when you pay attention to it but it’s totally normal and non harmful.

[@clairedeschamp]

vocal fry is only really a problem if you are a singer otherwise it's not an issue

[@wendyleeconnelly2939]

Nobody ever even notices "vocal fry" unless someone points it out.
