@ Jill: I agree with “school appropriate”.

@ ironman: “Why give up on yourself just because you have kids?” – I agree.

@ Jen: It’s true that you don’t need to wear unflattering clothes in order to look appropriate.

@ hyrcan: “Though I do think there is something that is limited to them and it’s this idea that when a woman has a child they cease to be a woman and suddenly become some strange creature called a “Mom” devoid any of the feelings, needs, desires of a woman.” EXACTLY. And I don’t think a mother should feel this way!

Personally I don’t think it should matter what people wear. We each have our own sense of style, tastes and standards. Wear ‘mom jeans’ if you want. Wear a short skirt. It shouldn’t matter.

The problem lies in the why. Why are you choosing to wear those pants? Is it because you feel that as a mother you aren’t allowed to look (and in some cases feel) attractive? Are you wearing that mini-skirt because you want to meet the social ideal of beauty?

As you can see the why behind what we wear, or expect others to wear is a bigger problem than what we actually have on.

And it certainly isn’t limited to women who have had children.

Though I do think there is something that is limited to them and it’s this idea that when a woman has a child they cease to be a woman and suddenly become some strange creature called a “Mom” devoid any of the feelings, needs, desires of a woman.

Although the situation you are in needs to be taken in consideration and appropriate attire is suggested. You shouldn’t wear the same dress at the kid’s school that you’d wear out at a dance club. Though as others pointed out that’s not a matter of being “mom appropriate” but of being “school appropriate.”

“A mother can be stylish and fabulous and sexy and interesting.” Without a doubt.

I think you do need to look “appropriate” at your kids’ school. But mom jeans is not appropriate – it’s just ugly.

Those jeans are gross. Moms can be as hot as anyone. Why give up on yourself just because you have kids?

I probably do dress differently now that I’m a mom. There are things I would wear when going out but not to mu kids’ school, so that’s an important distinction as well. Not so much “mom appropriate” as “school appropriate”.

But I do not own mom jeans and have no plans on going that route anytime soon.
