MOTHER

Founded in 2010 by premium-denim industry pros Lela Becker and Tim Kaeding, MOTHER specializes in collections that present a juxtaposition of hard and soft. The brand evokes teenage rebellion, unconditional love and hilarious insult all at the same time (the company's name is a play on the duality of the word "mother," which can be nurturing or a cuss).

Best jeans

Where have I been? I have own other great jeans like, Paige, Joe , good american, Hudson,AG Jean's. But Mother jeans are the best. I am going to invest in more colors. You need them in your life especially if you are a mummy with some tummy.

sizing is off

Fabric of jeans was very nice but sizing is way off. Runs really small so you’ll need to size up

Amazing fit, but asymmetrical hem :(

I have been eyeing these jeans for a while and finally bought them. I did end up going up a size from my usual but these ones fit perfectly. I’m usually a 28 and these are 29. BUT, the fray on the hem is asymmetrical!!! They came this way and I thought putting them in the wash would even out the fray but it just made the difference more pronounced.

No go

Really soft but this style just doesn’t work for my body type. I am petite but carry my weight in my butt and thighs (pear shaped).

Stunning Jeans

Can make any outfit pop! Very unique from the ordinary washes and styles. Edgy, literally, and style-wise! True-to-size compared to J Brand and 7. Extremely comfortable, like the other Step Frayes from Mother that I own. Can pair with sneakers, flats, ankle boots, pumps, and even sandals during summer. Love these jeans!

Comfortable!

I love these jeans! I’m 5’1 and around 110-115 lbs. I got the size 26 and they fit like a glove! I’m normally a size 2/26 so I’d say they are true to size. I love the high waist, it makes my tummy look flatter (which I’ll gladly take since I’m always self conscious of my c section pooch). The flare is super cute too! Yes, they are pricey, but the quality is sooo good. Definitely recommend!
