Michelle Duggar and her older daughter are breaking their family rules!
One of the hallmarks of the Duggar family is their simple clothing choices, with women in the family often wearing skirts and long dresses. However, as seen in a new post, Michelle and some of her girls recently made bold choices against the norm.
Michelle Duggar And Older Daughter Defy Family Tradition With Bold Wardrobe Choices
To understand the importance of this choice, it is important to know that the family has long been associated with conservative Christian values, which include a strong emphasis on modesty and purity.
However, during a recent family reunion, Jessa (Duggar) Seewald shared a photo that caught the attention of their fans — it featured her mom wearing black leggings.

In the photo, daughters Jana, Jill, Jessa, Jinger and Joy-Anna are 56 and older wearing pants, while sisters Johannah, Jennifer, Jordyn-Grace and Josie are wearing skirts. In the caption, Jessa wrote:
“As everyone gets older, life gets busier— which means it’s always extra special when we manage to get all 9 of us siblings + mom together again in the same place at the same time! Last week was gold. ??.”
This rare clothing choice sparked conversation among fans about the family’s growing fashion sense in the comments, like this person who was clearly surprised but delighted by the difference, stating, “Omg, does Duggar’s mom wear PANTS?! ?”
One follower stated, “Wow! Look at all the pants. Times have changed,” while another mused somewhat disapprovingly, “So the girls at home still wear skirts, but now mom wears tights… but the little one can’t.”
This user gushed with excitement, “Michelle in pants ????. Happy for you all.” A fourth follower pointed out a detail that may have been forgotten, writing, “Sorry guys. Those are not pants. It is a sports skirt with fitted leggings underneath. Look again!”
Some still need an explanation as to why the women in the family must adhere to strict dress codes. 2019 article by Cheat Sheet explain why they decided to stick to a certain style.
Family patriarch Jim Bob grew up in a Baptist family, and he introduced his wife to a world where God is priority. Surprisingly, Michelle was not always religious, but the couple decided to raise their children with deep devotion to God, which meant minimizing interruptions in their upbringing.
Some of the methods they use are that their children do not attend public school or play on any sports teams, they spend most of their time in church, and they can only enter into courtships approved and monitored by their parents.

Wearing jeans is not recommended as it is considered too revealing and can attract unwanted attention from men. The couple believed that jeans showed curves that might attract men, and to prevent their daughter from giving the wrong impression, they made it a rule to wear skirts below the knee.
Bigger Duggar Family Kids Choose Smaller Families When They Move On From Reality TV
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s extended family is a fixture on TLC through their reality show. However, when their children grow up and start families of their own, they choose to keep their family size smaller.
The reason may be that they realize that they are not treated as individuals growing up. This shift is evident in the choices of older children, such as Jill Dillard and Jinger Vuolo, who express satisfaction with having smaller families.
In 2020, The Blast observed that the family’s birthday celebrations followed a predictable pattern. Their father was often seen on their old reality TV show opting to save money by enjoying “kids eat free” specials at local restaurants.
It also states that birthday wishes for their children on social media seem generic and require more individual recognition. An example is when they posted a birthday shout-out for their son Jackson and, at the beginning, announced his new age along with the congratulations.
However, after being called out by the lack of affection in the post, it was edited to include specific details about the young man. The all-encompassing message is also sometimes extended to other occasions such as graduations and important life events.
