You guys, I don’t really know what to say about these. I mean, aside from the fact that they’re totally Jersey Shore. Trashy looking. Dated. Hideous.
They feel especially small town. I see them all over town, with rhinestones on the bum no less, and I think “Ladies please, there’s another way!”.
You know what’s worse?
When dudes wear them.
Stop the insanity.

Hello there! I'm Allison Czarnecki, founder + editor of Petit Elefant, a blog all about style on a budget for every part of your life: style / home / travel / family. I do a lot of how-to beauty + style tutorials, travel posts, easy recipes, home remodel projects, and cool DIY crafts you totally want to try. I'm super happily married (to a hot Polish immigrant) and am the mother of two kids, a daughter and son, all of whom are featured here on the regular. We live in the country but we're a little bit rock + roll. Welcome!
I love how you so kindly used the word “small-town”. haha! Yes, these are trashy.
oh man, now I can’t read your blog anymore!!
Ha ha ha, I couldn’t agree more. I love when I am walking down the halls of my sons middle school and I see Mothers wearing these jeans and I think ” no, you don’t look 17, sorry.”. I wish that I could send this article to so many people, you know, anonymously :)
Thank You!
Thank you for this! I would like to put this post on a big sign and hang it all over my little town.
Love from Lori C.
i couldn’t agree more!!!
hideous…
YES! I have never understood this at all! So bad.
This is something we don’t see here on the east coast. On people or in stores. But something I have been quite curious about on our recent trips to Ut. I found myself staring at everyone in line at Cafe Rio wondering where I missed the glitter bum memo. I’m glad to see it spelled out here. Where does one even purchase these? I’m feeling a lot better today after last week’s sweater post. The (horrible) sweater trend being the only one you’ve featured for which I’ve been a tragic part of, at some point in my life. I’d like to mention those sweaters were 1985’s fault. And the Eddie Bauer warehouse sale’s fault. I was a helpless victim.
these jeans are typically accompanied by an overly teased crown, fake nails, lots of chiccos jewelry and a shirt that is two sizes too small. at least that’s been my experience!
Gosh, I’m so glad you can’t see what I have on today. But just to clarify, my rhinestones are on the FRONT, where I believe they are much more classy.
I’m glad I am not the only one who does not care for these jeans.
I don’t mind the ones in the bottom left corner …since I OWN THEM! LOL I like that it gives the illusion that I have junk in trunk.
The skulls though? Um, what?
Great post!
Hi Allison – Gotta agree with you! I was thinking at first, “that’s not that bad!” Then I tried to think of times where I’ve seen it and it was okay. :) Not too many. I know of one person who makes them work. She’s super thin and all of her stuff is like that, so it seems to fit her personality.
Now, I need to convince myself NOT to buy a BeDazzler. LOL
I can’t think of a lot of situations where rhinestones are ever a good idea….
I actually bought a pair of these at, of all places, Costco a few years ago. I must have been in some sort of post baby, lack of sleep haze because I thought they were so cute. When I got them home I looked like a woman that had just given birth trying to put myself in a rap video. It was pretty hideous.
Ok, it was embarrassingly hideous.
I was just in UT and saw these at every turn. WOW. I love that you included this — very brave!
YES! Thank you for someone finally saying that these jeans are the worst. I hate them so much. If they would pair nicely with an Ed Hardy t-shirt, they should never see the light of day.
This cracked me up! I 100% agree with you. I don’t know anyone who would want to draw that much attention to their backside. Obviously, there are some people that want to but, I certainly am not one of them. lol.
THANK YOU! I see far too many people around here (Utah) wearing these… and too many of them are older than me! I definitely agree when you say that they feel “small town” because I see them all over the place in a very small town where I attended high school.
I often see them paired with a very bedazzled ball cap. :/
Thank you for this post. You know what’s worse? Is that people shell out $200-500 for each pair…and they seem to be the rage at my child’s school…for the parents, not the children. At that price, I KNOW they save wearing them for every parent/teacher conference, and room parent activity. If they made everyone look like 6 foot 130lb models, then I could see the appeal. Alas, they do not.
I was glad to read Andy’s comment above, because I haven’t seen anything like this at all, and was beginning to wonder whether I’m just completely unobservant. Thank goodness I live on the East Coast!
yes yes and YES. Please sing is sister. You are SO so so SO right.
Amen!
