The $30 jeans that flatter EVERY shape: The high-waisted 'mum' pants that smooth the stomach and make legs look longer instantly
- Big W is selling a flattering pair of 'mum' jeans for a very reasonable $30
- The high-waisted design has front and back pockets and folded ankle cuffs
- Instead of buttons the fly closes with a zip which makes the stomach look flatter
- The style has proved so popular it's completely sold out online and in most stores
- But one outlet in north Sydney still has a limited number of size 10s in stock
A pair of $30 'mum' jeans from Big W that flatter every size and body shape are quickly selling out across Australia, placing them among the nation's top-selling pieces of denim.
The discount department store has been struggling to keep stock of 'The 1964 Denim Company Women's Mom Jeans' since they launched in March thanks to their comfort, versatility and remarkably reasonable price tag.
Made from cotton and elastane, the jeans sit right on the waistline and hang loosely over the legs with a straight but relaxed fit, making the body appear taller and slimmer.
The design has fully functional front and back pockets, folded ankle cuffs and a fly that closes with a zip instead of buttons, which makes the stomach look flatter.
The 1990s-inspired style has proved so popular it's completely sold out online and in most brick-and-mortar stores, but Warringah Mall in north Sydney still has a limited number of size 10s in stock.

Care instructions for the jeans advise washing them alone for the first three washes to remove excess dye from the denim which could transfer and stain other clothes.
Shoppers have been raving about the jeans since they launched on Instagram in March, with many praising their comfort and affordability.
'These look super cheap and comfy,' one woman said on a promotional photo posted on March 8.
Others said they were thrilled to see the revival of the relaxed 'mum' trend, which reached its peak in the mid '90s.

'Mum' jeans were relegated to the backs of wardrobes for more than a decade afterward, during the early Noughties when perilously low-rise denim was the only cut to be seen in.
The look was revived by social media influencers and catwalk megastars like Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski and Kendall Jenner, who regularly sling the slightly over-sized fit over their model frames, flashing a glimpse of their slender torsos.
Such is Jenner's love for the 'mum' silhouette, she last year declared to be officially done with wearing any other style.
'Super skinny jeans are not my vibe right now,' she told ELLE at the launch of Tiffany & Co.'s Sydney CBD store in April 2019.
