Okay, don't get me wrong, mom jeans are crazy comfortable. FYI, when I say "mom jeans" I'm referencing the washed out, butt-hugging-in-all-the-wrong-places, pleated and slouchy at the bottom jeans with the huge pockets that sometimes aren't even real. We've all seen them. And, look, I'm all for high-waisted jeans, but there's a fine line between the mom jean and our beloved high-waisted skinnies.

First of all, since when are women in their early twenties striving to look like middle-aged mothers? Remember when our moms all bought Uggs and tried to look like us? The tables have turned, folks, and whether you like it or not, the joke is now on us. And I'm not one for body shaming, but really now, the only people who are pulling the mom jean look off are the seven foot tall, eighty pound models. If you happen to be one of those, congratulations. You can close out of this article.

However, if you're shorter than seven feet, over eighty pounds, and don't happen to live in an '80s after-school special, we need your attention. Put an end to the mom jean! Bring back bell bottoms for all I care, but please let's not start looking like Paula Dean before we have a chance to look hot in our twenties. Even the mom panties are coming back and it's a disgrace. Save yourselves! Ruffles and big cotton squares of fabric never made anyone look attractive. It isn't fair that this is what we're striving for when we should be appreciating what we've got while we got it.

These are the things we made fun of. We put this on the list of top ten things we would never wear. This is almost as bad as when we thought Ashley Tisdale's jeans-under-the-miniskirt look was cool or when Miley wore sparkly scarves in her hair so we got ourselves some from Claire's. So, listen to the little voice in your head that says, "this isn't right" and save yourself from the humiliation you'll witness when your future daughter sees your pictures twenty years from now. The mom jean was not a good idea then and they are not a good idea now.
