If you’re a fan of the family, then by now, you’re probably pretty well-acquainted with the Duggar dress code.

The most infamous rule that Jim Bob and Michelle’s offspring are forced to follow is a gender-specific one.

Women in the Duggar family are not allowed to wear pants and must stick to long skirts until such time as they get married and leave the nest.

At which time, it’s their husbands who get to decide what they’re allowed to wear.

It’s not the most progressive policy, but then this is the Duggars we’re talking about.

Fortunately, some of the women in the family have taken advantage of the freedom they enjoy once they wriggle out from under Jim Bob’s control.

Jinger was the first to rebel, and she began wearing pants shortly after marrying Jeremy Vuolo.

Several of her sisters followed suit, and over the weekend, several fans became very excited over what appeared to be an indication that the rebellious spirit had been passed on to a new generation.

Josh Duggar’s wife, Anna Duggar, posted the above photo to Instagram yesterday.

“We enjoyed one last trip to Silver Dollar City this year!” she captioned the pic.

“It was great to be there with most of Joshua’s family and some extended family too! How are you guys wrapping up 2018?!?!”

As In Touch Weekly points out, in the comments section, fans were less interested in answering Anna’s question than in commenting on the attire of her daughter, Mackynzie.

“I love this little girls wearing jeans!” one fan wrote.

“I always think you ladies must get so cold with wearing skirts all the time, so I was happy to see the little girls warm and cozy in pants.”

Some fans even went so far as to speculate that Anna might be allowing her daughters’ to wear jeans in direct defiance of her scandalous husband, Josh Duggar.

While we’d love it if that were the case, Anna was quick to clear the air and dash our hopes:

"From the time Mackynzie has been a baby I have always allowed our girls to wear jeans instead of leggings in the winter,” she replied to one comment.

“The long coat is covering her dress.”

So the girls are allowed to wear jeans under their dresses and only on cold days.

Sigh. Well, it’s 2019, but the Duggars are still the Duggars.
