Ok, I have to admit, when I saw Britney Spears wearing a slinky mini dress earlier this week not once, but twice, I couldn't resist rolling my eyes and thinking, "Now that's something that no mom should EVER wear." I mean, the dress she wore in this particular photo was so short that her fiance, Jason Trawick, actually had to place his hand on her thigh so her "junk" wouldn't fall out of the side. And if you're worried about your dress showing off part of your nether regions? Yeah — it's probably too short. Mini dresses look pretty risque on anyone, but on moms they're just unacceptable.
And ridiculously short dresses are just one thing at the top of a list of 10 things moms need to quit trying to pull off once and for all. (Give it up already, ladies.)
Check out the photos below to see what else qualifies as a major fashion faux pas.
Is there a particular outfit that makes you cringe when you see a mom wearing it?

Daisy Dukes
Showing this much leg is never a good idea.
See-Through Shirts
If your bra is at all visible under your shirt, choose another shirt. (R.I.P., Amy.)
Micro-Mini Skirts
Moms shouldn't wear skirts if they can't sit down in them without exposing their underpants. (This is a good general rule of thumb.)
Hot Pants
The only moms who can somewhat get away with wearing hot pants are dancers & cheerleaders — and that's pushing it.
Skin-Tight Jeans and/or Jeggings
Moms should have at least a little bit of room between their skin and their jeans. And while I'll admit to trying the whole jeggings craze when they first came out, I now firmly believe they aren't mom friendly.
Belly Shirts
Exposing your belly in anything other than a bikini is a huge no-no.
Booty Pants
Booty pants are never a good option — even at the gym. Tight is ok, but too-tight is a whole other story.
Stripper Heels
'Nuff said.
Anything From Abercrombie & Fitch
They play the music too loud in that store for a reason — to keep the moms out and let the kids shop in "peace." Take the hint.
