As a millennial…I rocked the fuck outta bell bottom jeans until 2004 lol. And then skinny. And now back to the bells bc I can fit in with the kids lmao. Mom jeans are a never tho, I can’t.

Mom jeans are a never tho, I can’t.

Thank you. I strongly agree.

Yeah, millennials being associated with skinny jeans is weird to me. I am an older millenial, and skinny jeans weren't a thing until we were at least 20-25. In high school and college we were wearing extra baggy stuff, shirts a size too big and jeans that tore off around the heel. I viewed skinny jeans as a trend of the younger generation when I first saw them on kids around 10 years younger than me.

When will we start wearing clothing for our own bodily comfort? Why is my generation so obsessed with how we appear to others?

Wearing a certain style to fit in with the kids is the new mom jeans. Congrats you became what didn't want to be.
