@theatlantic: After Lily Meyer’s daughter was born, she went on a hunt for comfortable, stylish pants—and stumbled on a uniform for today’s cool mom: “I longed for my old wardrobe, which consisted mainly of rigid vintage denim,” Meyer writes of the time following her daughter’s birth. “But I had a sore Cesarean-section scar and a waistline that changed every two weeks.” Once jeans became available to her again, she discovered “that they were incorrect for my new life.” “What I needed were some loose clothes that read stylish yet practical,” Meyer continues. “I’d gone in search of a wardrobe that worked for playdates and playgrounds and days when I go straight from work to an evening of child care, and what I found was an emerging archetype of the Cool Millennial Mom.” Read more about Meyer’s search for pants—and what she learned about motherhood along the way—at the link in our bio. 📷: Illustration by Jonelle Afurong / The Atlantic.
