I hope this message finds you well. I recently embarked on a quest for new jeans after shedding 15 pounds. Starving and a bit irritable, I stumbled upon your brand, Not Your Daughter’s Jeans, which caters to women over 40. As a 45-year-old woman without formal training in psychology or marketing, I can confidently assert that women do not appreciate the constant reminder that they can’t fit into their daughters’ jeans. Why the need to emphasize that?
- We don’t long for our daughters’ less-than-ample figures.
- We don’t wish to relive their awkward teenage years.
- We have no desire for their cringe-worthy fashion choices.
- And we certainly don’t want to be reminded of their minimum wage jobs.
However, let me be clear: women like me want to wear jeans that make us feel youthful and vibrant. We want the illusion of wearing our daughters’ trendy jeans, not the kind that feels like it was made for a 60-year-old. If I were wearing your jeans and a friend asked, “What brand are those?” I certainly wouldn’t reply, “Oh, they’re Not My Daughter’s Jeans!”
At 45, I want jeans that exclaim, “Yes, I bought these in the junior section, and they fit fabulously!” I’m looking for jeans that are easy to unbutton, not something that requires a rescue team. I want pockets that can actually hold more than just a single phone number or a coupon for moisturizer.
I’m not sure how old you are, but here’s a revelation: women over 40 still feel youthful and alluring. I recently saw a tag in a pair of Lucky Brand jeans that said, “Lucky You”—a wonderful message for whoever is lucky enough to unzip them. I can only imagine what the tag on your jeans reads: “Handle with care. Store away from sunlight. Dry clean only.”
I found it amusing that each pair of Not Your Daughter’s Jeans comes with a note claiming, “NYDJ cannot be held responsible for any positive consequences that may arise from your fabulous appearance in our Tummy Tuck jeans.” What “positive consequences” could possibly come from wearing jeans that double as support hose? Perhaps being mistaken for someone who needs a senior discount at the movies?
Mr. Denim Guru, while it may be too late to change your brand name, have you considered alternatives like “Hot at Forty Jeans” or “Not Your Mom’s Jeans”? If you had a line for men over 40, would you really call it “My Fat Pants”?
Sincerely,
Clara Jennings
