Look, I’m all for a Hot Mom Summer, but my definition of “hot” includes not sweating bullets trying to pull my shorts down every 5 seconds or wondering if my left butt cheek is trying to sneak out and live her own life. I’m not 22 anymore, Becky. I have children, a Costco membership, and a lower back that audibly cracks when I get out of bed. So when I tell you I found THE jean shorts—yes, shorts with a button front, an elastic waistband (we love a little grace in the midsection), and full cheek coverage—I nearly shed a tear. They don’t ride up, they don’t squeeze you like a can of biscuits, and most importantly, you can bend down to pick up a Goldfish cracker off the pavement without offering your entire cul-de-sac a surprise viewing of your mom assets. We are talking stretchy waistband for snack-bloat days, a real button so you still feel like you tried, and the kind of comfort that says “I could chase a toddler or lounge in a patio chair with a mocktail and a solid SPF.” These shorts are not here to start a scandal. They’re here to support, flatter, and stay in their dang lane. Because Hot Mom Summer isn’t about showing cheeks—it’s about showing up, feeling confident, and still being able to sit criss-cross applesauce at the park without risking a denim paper cut. Elastic waist + no butt cheeks = peace, joy, and the energy to say “sure, let’s go to the splash pad” without a wardrobe malfunction. We wear these shorts proudly. We are the moment. We are the moms.
