"Mom" Jeans

mjune3881 · March 2012

Hi all! My work, typically business casual, has decided for the next 5 weeks to be business casual + jeans. So, since NOTHING I have pre-preg fits (as far as jeans goes), I was wondering where everyone has gone to purchase their post-preg jeans. I'm only about 5-7 lbs over my pre-preg weight, but my body shape is not the same as it was!

For post baby Old Navy's Sweetheart bootcut jeans or Dockers trouser jeans fit me best. Plus they are cheap so if they only fit well for a few months its no big deal.

Haha...I was going to recommend ON as well. They still might have their $19.99 sale on jeans going on. They also just came out with different styles and cuts which I found helpful for my current post preggo body

I wear CK Long and Leans.

I love them. Good fit. Not skanky. Not mom-ish. Holds shape and no weird stretch issues.

They're like $70.00 a pair but I buy them at Herberger's where there's always a sale or a coupon so I've never paid for than $40.00ish for them.

I also love my A. Eagle jeans for some reason. Some of the fits are obviously teen but some are very good, esp. for short little me.

I get mine @ the buckle. My favorites are "big star" jeans. I am on the shorter side, and love that they do free hemming as well.

Same here! I just stuff myself into my pre-preg jeans and throw a belly band on under a longer shirt to smooth everything out. LOL still working on getting rid of that extra skin around the midsection. But, this way I didn't have to buy new jeans...for now. Hoping I can get my body back to some sense of normalcy before it's time for spring/summer clothes...but the belly band has been a temporary lifesaver. Good luck! .
