- Mom jeans is a slang term for high-waist women’s jeans that were originally
fashionable in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In the late 1990s and 2000s
they were mainly worn by middle-aged American women and considered
unhip by trendy younger women. Mom jeans then came back in style
amongst hipsters and fashion aware young women in the 2010s. - Originally a pejorative and derogatory term, mom jeans gained prominence
from a May 2003 Saturday Night Live skit written by Tina Fey for a fake brand
of jeans called Mom Jeans, which used the tagline “For this Mother’s Day, don’t give Mom that bottle of perfume. Give her something that says, ‘I’m not
a woman anymore…I’m a mom!’
