Ouiam El Hassani uses the advent of Mom Jeans to cheer mothers on to shirk societal expectations, embrace reality and just be themselves. At the most uncertain time that moms have ever experienced since World War I and II – thanks to Covid-19 - fashion comes to lighten up their mood and add a whole line of clothing labeled under their name: Mom Jeans. From fashionistas to celebrities, ladies have been drifting towards this next big denim craze; Mom Jeans, OUR JEANS! Do you even realise the shift? What better statement to boost every mom’s confidence in their sense of fashion, even if it is ephemeral because we all know fashion and its everchanging moods. The word ‘motherhood’ is, without fail, associated with anything but sensual; we are all familiar with ‘mom underwear’, ‘mom dance’, ‘mom heals’… we are all accused of hibernating in yoga pants, leggings, or bohemian dresses for the fancier ones. We moms are tired of these absurd implications because we had just predicted the birth of a whole trend even before Anna Wintour decided on it. Yet, this shift can’t possibly only mean that moms are back on track when it comes to their vogue-approved appearances; it is much more than that. It is a pass for LIFESTYLE | opinion and so did you!
