mom jeans
Relaxed retro trousers
Mom jeans are high-waisted, loose-fitting jeans that taper at the ankle—the style worn by American mothers in the 1980s and 90s.
Originally mocking and unfashionable, the term shifted as the style returned: I found the perfect mom jeans at the thrift store.
Now often worn ironically or genuinely by younger generations.
