I skimmed post by post thinking... wow, almost to the last page and nobody has mentioned pajama jeans yet... then bam... you mentioned them. I really laughed when I saw the commercial for the 1st time... and thought they have got to look beyond ridiculous in person.
I have several pairs of NY and co jeans, and don't wear them too often because the rise is pretty hig and I am short waisted so it looks silly on me. I think they are a great alternative to Mom jeans though..stylish but covered and not junior. Their "low rise" is only low in comparison to younger jeans..they go aboutt o my belly button, but on a "normal" waisted person would probably sit a bit below.
