Jeans that are no longer fashionable and are usually characterized by a tapered leg, high waist or brand name that was cool about ten years ago. Dad jeans are typically worn by aging men with salt and pepper hair who are in denial that they are no longer hip, have children and drive a station wagon or SUV.

Any pair of men's jeans that are not *skin fucking tight*, which makes getting into and out of them feel less like rubber gloves, and more like clothing. Regular (non- dad jeans) tend to accentuate the bulge and cause chafing.

Person 2: No they're not, they look perfectly fine!
Person 1: No, they look to old now, they've turned into the dad jeans.
