I have the greatest emotional reaction to the overalls. When they were in style back in the early 80s, I was in junior high. I really really really wanted a pair, but at 4'11" and no such thing as petites just yet, I could not find any to fit me. It was quite traumatic, searching high and lo to no avail.&nbsp;</p> <p>Now I'm probably too old for them but I am getting this odd pull, wondering if just maybe this time around they'll eventually trickle down to petite sizes, and I might be tempted to find resolution to an awkward teenage memory. Ha! I can just see myself finding a pair that fits, having a triumphant moment as I&nbsp;buy them ... </p> <p>.....and&nbsp;then never wearing them, because at 48&nbsp;I'd look ridiculous.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts/page/2#post-1181110 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 22:32:51 +0000 DonnaF 1181110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Umm. I wore overalls and cut-off overalls in the 1960s and 1970s, so much as I like them I don't think they're a look I should be sporting at my age.&nbsp; PLUS, knowing my luck, my cell phone would end up in the toilet if I tried wearing them again.&nbsp; The bathroom thing was always the major annoyance while wearing those babies.</p> <p>I rather like Mom jeans due to my proportionately small waist and large thighs, but the stiffness of the original Moms sometimes made my thighs look even bigger.&nbsp; :(&nbsp; I have a pair of Style &amp; Co. jeans from Macys from a few years back that are actually cut Mom style even more than NYDJ jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts/page/2#post-1180968 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 20:27:36 +0000 Vicki 1180968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As soon as I saw the Miramars, I thought they were meant for you, so I'm happy they're going to be yours.</p> <p>I'm still trying to see the visual appeal of the elastic ankles and wonder about their comfort. &nbsp;You could wear any of these and look spectacular and I love Angie's name for you: &nbsp;Queen Farm Fashionista. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts/page/2#post-1180930 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 19:45:00 +0000 viva 1180930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to confess the only style I even sort of like for myself is the first, the Miramars...they're really kind of cool and interesting, but I wouldn't shell out that amount for cotton sweatpants even if they are that cool looking and from R&amp;B. </p> <p>I appreciate the look of overalls but they are not for me. I definitely see that as a look better suited to the under-50 crowd.</p> <p>As for mom jeans, I just don't see them as attractive. After a little thought, I wonder if it is in part because of my body type -- they really require a waist, which I don't have, so they are not a style I personally could ever wear well. But even still, they are a very hard sell to me. Just do not like the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts/page/2#post-1180903 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 19:03:57 +0000 iyasostuff 1180903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never even heard of pajama jeans before...It looks comfortable...I would definitely try them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts/page/2#post-1180899 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 18:50:23 +0000 alee 1180899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe #3-4 not all the way to the waist. Not with a cropped top. Anything else I think would make me just look bigger then I am. Plus when I did wear denim overalls many years ago my hubby told me to never wear them again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts/page/2#post-1180890 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 18:38:18 +0000 catgirl 1180890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love the miramars too but do you think they will fade or stretch more quickly?

I wish there were more reviews up on sizing...&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts#post-1179965 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 19:05:29 +0000 CocoLion 1179965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting to hear your opinions. &nbsp;Everything has a rather mixed reception. &nbsp;I've tried the overalls but just wasn't feeling them, I felt too old for them.</p> <p>I have the Miramars on order!! Leopardluxe is right, they are sweatpants digitally printed to look like distressed jeans. &nbsp;I should be getting mine soon. &nbsp;Fingers crossed that they fit right. &nbsp;Someone is selling them on eBay for $499, $200 over their asking price. &nbsp;</p> <p>I also got the Mom jeans from UO. &nbsp;My intention is to wear them with cropped tops, rolled with sandals or booties. &nbsp;I liked the way they show off the waist and hip curve but are roomy in the thigh, just right for my shape. &nbsp;I have spent so many years stuffing myself into skinny boy jeans, it feels like a relief to wear something that goes with my body.</p> <p>Now why I felt too old for the overalls, but not these other two styles, I have no idea. &nbsp;There must be a cognitive glitch in here somewhere, proving that fashion is quite the emotional thing. </p> <p>Angie -- can't wait to see you in your jumpsuit!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts#post-1179945 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 18:52:31 +0000 catgirl 1179945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the first two pairs. You will not see me in those high waisted jeans. I had a dream about overalls last night! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts#post-1179919 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 18:28:07 +0000 April 1179919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let us remember that <i>old school </i>mom jeans are not a good look. &nbsp;As with everything that comes back, the comeback version is updated. &nbsp;I saw some pictures of myself and my sister from 1999 recently -- we were both in mom jeans (so was her husband, actually) and believe me, there's no way that is ever going to look okay again. &nbsp;</p> <p>I have posted this before, but if you want to see what we were dealing with in those days, check out this "commercial" from Saturday Night Live:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTK_MNkVx-0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTK_MNkVx-0</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts#post-1179859 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 17:40:24 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1179859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's an Old Navy commercial airing recently - the one with the airport security line - where the actress who's wearing the ON jeans is definitely wearing something higher waisted. I can't remember the cut in the legs but up top they definitely evoke a bit of the mom jean era. They look nice on her, but seem to require something tucked to show them off, which I don't see most people in real life doing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts#post-1179809 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 16:41:31 +0000 rabbit 1179809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to see Angie's polished denim jumpsuit sometime. &nbsp;I can picture it.</p> <p>I loved overalls in high school and college -- but they were mainly gear for painting. &nbsp;Now I would wear them as gardening gear. &nbsp;</p> <p>I'm around so many people who wear naturally distressed denim (from actually wearing the pants 24/7) usually covered with some paint splatters or plaster or&nbsp;clay dust too, and patched by hand, that any artificial versions of this just look so off to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts#post-1179783 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 16:13:09 +0000 Jenava 1179783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, those printed sweats are crazy! &nbsp;I love them, but would personally look and feel ridiculous in them. &nbsp;I do think you could rock them. &nbsp;Didn't you have a pair of overalls? &nbsp;I could completely see you in a pair with a fitted l/s tee and heeled booties. &nbsp;The mom jeans I'm kinda like, meh, on, because you'd probably have to wear them in a very specific way to make them look cool...which you could totally pull off, but I think the first two ideas are the more interesting ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts#post-1179781 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 16:08:30 +0000 Vildy 1179781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't cotton to the idea of wearing jeans to dress up but I do wear jeans occasionally and always wear the latter two styles. I like to show off the curve of my upper hip and I always think of them as a Marilyn or 50's starlet look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts#post-1179749 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 15:46:28 +0000 rae 1179749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the idea of the Mirimars! Too bad you have to sign up to be notified of their return; probably means they won't make it to sale. The first "wash"/print is really cool.</p> <p>I still don't think mom jeans are flattering, although a skinny high rise wouldn't be out of the question these days with all the crop tops out there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts#post-1179716 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 15:14:38 +0000 April 1179716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would try them all except #2. &nbsp;</p> <p>I used to live in overalls. &nbsp;I do think I'm past the age when I could wear them without looking a little dotty, but never say never... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts#post-1179714 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 15:14:15 +0000 Elizabeth P 1179714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's my dirty little secret....<br />I had overalls in the late 90's... there was a bit of a joke that they were the uniform of my dinner club, as I think three of us tended to wear them when we got together - we ate so much!&nbsp; I thought they were long gone.&nbsp; Well, I found them a couple of weeks ago while doing some purging.&nbsp; </p> <p>Tee Hee.&nbsp; I am NOT going to get rid of them :).&nbsp; In fact, I'm thinking of wearing to my next dinner club, as a joke.&nbsp; They still come up in conversation. (WOW, Dinner club is 20 years old this year!!!!!!!!!!!!)</p> <p>Will have some styling fun with you ladies prior to that.&nbsp; </p> <p>I have some jeans with a higher rise - not sure they are quite into "mom jean" territory, and I find them quite comfortable.&nbsp; But I'd only wear them with a sweater, I really don't find that much denim between the crotch and waistband look very attractive.&nbsp; But - one's eyes do adjust! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts#post-1179713 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 15:13:31 +0000 Angie 1179713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gryffin, lift your head proudly with me.

I don't do holes in jeans, and the elastic on the cuffs&nbsp;in #2 will be uncomfy as I walk my fast work (I tried a style like that last year actually). But I love these styles&nbsp;for you, Denise - Queen Farm Fashionista. Especially the dungarees. #4 and #5 I like less than the others.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have my eye on a polished denim jumpsuit. Mechanic Chic. (I'm not joking).&nbsp;xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts#post-1179702 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 15:04:58 +0000 gryffin 1179702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cocolion - gulity secret.&nbsp; I really like overalls.&nbsp; I really, really like the pair you have pictured.&nbsp; I keep trying to talk myself out of them, which has worked so far.&nbsp; But I am wondering if I would enjoy them in the summer for casual knocking around.&nbsp; They have to be like the ones you show, slightly oversized, light wash&nbsp;with a narrow leg opening and a full y back.&nbsp; Just love them.&nbsp; Guilty, hangs head in shame.. whimper...whimper...love...want....resisting.....maybe.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts#post-1179638 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 13:58:19 +0000 Sarah A 1179638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The overalls look super fun to me! </p> <p>ETA: Perhaps because I find them to be the most wearable for my build and lifestyle. I think you could do any of these cuts with panache.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts#post-1179633 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 13:48:13 +0000 Suz 1179633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The idea of the PJ jeans has some appeal...but if it's actual denim, wouldn't they be too stiff to drape? In which case, it would sort of defeat the purpose of the whole thing, to my mind.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like overalls on others but they're too casual for my style -- I've never worn them, though they've been in and out in cycles ever since I can recall.&nbsp;</p> <p>Mom jeans -- maybe. I would need to know new ways of styling them that did not involve completely baring the midriff and made them an improvement on some other style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts#post-1179627 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 13:43:01 +0000 Anonymous 1179627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of upscale pajama jeans. If I saw something like the Miramars with a little less distressing and at a lower price point,&nbsp;I'd be seriously tempted.&nbsp;The mom jeans actually look a lot better than I expected, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newer-denim-concepts#post-1179598 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 12:57:12 +0000 Jaime 1179598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure if I can imagine wearing the mom jeans - I would have to try them on and see.

It's the first rendition of this I've seen that actually looks like it might pull it off well (I hate those leggings that were popular a few years back that had fake stitching seams and fake pockets printed on them to try and make them look like they were skinny jeans. I thought they were really tacky looking, personally.</p> <p>I'd actually try these Rag and Bone ones if they looked as good in person as they do in the photo --&nbsp;but there's not a snowball's chance in hell I'd pay anywhere near $300 to do so (or for real jeans for that matter) </p>
