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).

Runs a little small
I really wanted to like these Mother pants—this was my first petite purchase from the brand. I typically wear a 27 regular. Unfortunately they just didn’t flatter my body and felt a little too tight overall. I’m returning Them.

favorite Mothers
Great spring to summer jeans- the wash is great, they hit right at the ankle (5’4 petite) so they look great with sandals and ballet flats. They are a stiffer denim and run a little smaller so I sized up and they are perfect.

perfect fit
I got my usual size 26 and these fit great. Length is perfect with no need for hemming. Very comfortable considering the denim is pretty sturdy. I feel like these are my new favorite pair of jeans. Happy I tried Lil Mother.

love the Lils
I usually wear a 26 in Mothers and I was a 26 in these. The color is a little darker than I was expecting, but I kept them because they fit very well. They are fitted but not tight and look more flattering than a wide leg, which I’m starting to bore of.
