Fashion Maternity Jeans Appraisal

Distressed Maternity Skinny Jeans with Elastic Side Panels

This item is a pair of contemporary maternity jeans crafted from a medium-wash blue denim, likely a cotton-spandex blend to provide the necessary stretch for pregnancy. The most distinguishing functional feature is the inclusion of black elasticized side panels at the waistband, designed to accommodate a growing midsection while maintaining the look of traditional denim in the front and back. The jeans feature a high degree of intentional distressing, most notably a large rectangular patch on the upper thigh that has been heavily abraded, showing exposed white weft threads and decorative darning or 'repair' stitching. The ankles are finished with a raw, frayed uneven hemline, which is a popular modern style choice. The construction includes copper-toned or silver rivets at the pocket corners and a standard belt loop configuration on the denim portion of the waist. The condition appears to be used but good, with 'factory' distressing being the primary visual texture rather than unplanned wear. There are no visible manufacturer tags or brand labels in the image, but the style is consistent with fast-fashion maternity lines from the late 2010s to early 2020s. The wash shows some whiskering across the lap area. Overall, the piece represents functional contemporary apparel designed for comfort without sacrificing current aesthetics.
