That looks uncomfortable.

The tag on the back says “stop looking at my buttcheeks.”

That instinctively makes me want to grab and tug, and I'm wearing baggy sweatpants.

That's a look (and feel) I've tried to avoid my entire life.

@cawaps - IKR?!

@bpath- too funny, but if someone is wearing these aren't they begging for attention?

@IdaClaire - Can you imagine wearing for any length of time?

I have some pants that inadvertently fit that way right now! heeheehee

and they're high-rise.

We used to call this look the "psub's" - Pants stuck up butt. Something to be avoided at all costs. And now it's a thing, wow.

I saw those at a store about a year ago and was confused. I've spent my life trying to avoid wedgies. 😜

Don’t ask me, I do not own any jeans, wedgie or not. I had a pair years ago and wore them so seldom (maybe 2x) that I donated them to the local charity thrift shop. The ones pictured look spectacularly uncomfortable. How could you sit, or drive a car in those?

And she's probably wearing a thong underneath those horrors as well. Yikes.

Why would they call these a wedgie? These are a throw back to what we used to wear in the 80's, the high waist jeans. I cannot stand those low waist, constantly creeping down, jeans! I say "bring 'em on!" I guess calling them the "mom jean" wouldn't sell many jeans to the kiddos, so they had to come up with something kinda nasty to attract the kids...GAH! I hate the torn off bottom instead of hem though.

Arkansas girl, it looks like the high waist is accompanied by a short rise! These are the opposite of low-riders where the pants seat is almost at the knees; here it’s almost at the shoulders!

Believe it or not, "Mom Jeans" are an actual thing for young teens. And they are sold as "mom jeans." As in, teen daughter says, mom can you go to Brandy Melville (or whatever the hip store is) and get me some Mom Jeans for my birthday?

And the color is called Shut Up! How appropriate.

Arkansas girl: Look Closely. I think they call them wedgie jeans because they intentionally give you a wedgie!

Yes, and some. are more "wedgie" than others! It's the opposite of a camel toe. LOL

That's how I always looked before I found jeans in 'tall' sizes.

"Don’t ask me, I do not own any jeans, wedgie or not."

I"m right there with ya, jeans-less Arkansas girl!

I've long thought I'm the only person in the universe who has always, always found jeans of any kind to be spectacularly uncomfortable. Partly due to my particular body type-I have a very long waist with a tendency toward a bulging tummy. That along with a flat butt and narrow thighs (my daughter once commented that my sisters and I are 'all gutt no butt') means that every pair of jeans I've ever tried to wear fit me pretty much the way these wedgie jeans do. To get something that's long enough not to crotch-grab requires going up in size so much that the waist and rear could probably fit a second woman in there with me LOL.

Not to mention living in the subtropics wearing heavy denim rarely feels delightful anyway.

I gave up on jeans in my 20s so I have been without that particular item of clothing for 40+ years. The only thing I miss is that mysterious glory that I hear people talk about: the jeans that are so comfortable it's like wearing your pajamas or whatever.

Oh yes, I took a DD and her friend shopping for "Mom jeans" not long ago. I am pretty sure it was not a genuine compliment.

And, an added feature - they come in PLUS sizes and pre-torn and or faded. :-(

I really like jean leggings, or "jeggings." I like the slip-on kind with plenty of spandex in the mix for a lot of give, in a substantial-enough fabric that doesn't bag or sag. I agree that jeans can be pretty darn uncomfortable. My latest jeggings are from Soft Surroundings, and I love 'em.

This is so funny! I bought two pairs of Levi’s last week. I do like the higher waist (mine are mid-high, I’d say, not as high as the old days) and can report that they don’t ride up, wedgie style.

Very odd marketing. “Hey, let’s name these sweaters, “Itchies”. And these shoes, “Pinchers”. Honestly, if I’d seen the wedgie name, I wouldn’t have even tried them on.

ETA: Ida, I love jeggings, too, now ... after avoiding them a long time, thinking they were cheesy. I have two pairs. They feel like butter and look great under long tops. Very comfy.

I think the 2nd photo of blue jeans shown in My3dogs post looks cute.

I can’t wear high waist pants let alone wedgies. It would look like a turtleneck pant suit on me. I’m short in the torso.

I think I am officially "old and past it", because I really dislike the look of intentionally ripped and torn jeans. Excuse me ... your knees are out, dear. I realize that as a highly tattooed individual, I am probably expected to like the look of wrecked and ruined, but I don't at all.

Haha Jinx that’s me in regular high waist pants.

Nope. Threw out my last pair of jeans in 1984, so I really live under a rock. The wedgie looks like the right thing to wear if you want the answer to "does this make my butt look big?" to be "yes!"

I still love jeans and have some that are really old that I wear for yard work. It's interesting how the waist rise has evolved over the years as well as the width of the legs. My old jeans are all the same brand and same size but I'll pull on a pair that comes up to the waist with kind of narrow bottoms and the next pair is a bit below the waist with wider bottoms. I don't like the waist really low or really high but kind of in the middle.

Next they’ll be marketing Camel Toe Leggings.

Never heard of wedgie jeans until now, and sure don't want any.

Last fall, my youngest DGD bought Muffin Top jeans for her back-to-school wear. They're supposed to cover your "muffin top", I had never heard of those either, but I was glad to see "normal" jeans for a change. I'm so tired of the low waist, worn-out, full-of-holes style.

Short waisted so midrise jeans are my thing. Definitely no wedgies, reminds me of my early 20’s, high jeans so tight I had to lay down to zip them up and I was super skinny. My daughter in her 20’s is into fairly classic clothing, almost preppie, so I do not think she would wear these either.

That first pic my3dogs posted is NOT how they are supposed to fit...dd has some pairs and they are only supposed to be tight in the tush...not all over skin tight like in that pic! 😳 Egads! Those are too small and look horrible.

I'd have to disagree, @nini804, if the wedgie jeans are suppose to give you a wedgie look, as all of them I clicked on did. How is that comfortable #1, and #2 why?!

@Jilly, I sort of like that over the breast high rise outfit, but only on a runway.

@mtnrdredux_gw, Mom jeans are not necessarily Wedgie jeans.

I'm still wondering what idiot came up with this "fashion" idea. Can you imagine Tim Gunn's reaction?! LOL

I hope each pair sold comes with a tube of cream for chafing and other unpleasantries. Tim Gunn -- I can see his facial reaction right this very minute, can't you? We are truly becoming a society of idiots who will buy anything sold to us. (Well, speaking on the whole. We here are above it all, naturally. ;-))

I have a pair of much like the second picture that My3dogs posted. I wore them just last week. For painting.

I was responding to Mrs S on Mom jeans.

I like jeans, and i like a little bit of lycra, but if it's more than 3-5% it's not flattering IMHO. But the color is such a nice foil for almost anything.

Pretty funny! I like the front view.

And the selected color is 'shut up'?

Glad to learn it doesn't actually give anyone a wedgie, it's just sculpted to make your behind look good.

With promises of the perfect vintage-inspired silhouette (from the linked blog)

This makes sense. Several years ago I read that jeans manufacturers were shorting the fabric in the crotch inseam to save money. I had noticed that most jeans at that time made everyone's butts look like the pic my3dogs posted--kind of flat all around. So they must be adding back the fabric that has been missing.

@mtnrd - I completely agree with you about the lycra content of jeans. I happen to be one of the few who liked 100% cotton jeans. They held you in like lycra cannot.

Jinx, for you:

My son used to hike up his trousers and do a Steve Urkel imitation. Close to your example, but not quite a stylish.

I swear, I was thinking of him, too. 😂

Almost all of the photos I clicked on gave the model a wedgie. While it might not have been the goal, it is the outcome for many.

That's a wedgie. I love dark navy blue jeans, I think they look sharp no matter what I wear with them.

I prefer all cotton too - it lasts a lot longer than stretch denim.
