One-legged jeans are selling out online - but fashionistas divided over $440 pants
(Web Desk) - Has fashion sense hit its rock bottoms? It seems so.
One-legged jeans, costing an arm and a leg at a toe-curling $440, are kicking up dust amongst clotheshorses everywhere.
While fans of the half-shorts-half-pants hail them the cream of the cropped, critics say their virality is short lived.
“Possibly the most controversial jeans on the internet,” influencer Kristy Sarah, 29, said while squeezing into the avant-garde gear for her 16 million TikTok fans — and her naysaying husband, Desmond — to see.
“Nobody’s wearing that,” Desmond quipped in the clip.
And a few equally unenthused folks online agreed, deeming the denims “weird” and “ridiculous.”
But the odd-ball bottoms, an offering from French fashion house Coperni, aren’t just the butt of a couple cheeky jokes.
They’re actually rising as the season’s hottest must-haves.
“Fashion, which used to be driven by designers and the culture, is now, in many ways, driven by social media,” said Kressley.
“We [are seeing] more and more [of the unusual] but not necessarily better ideas,” he continued, suggesting that most ultra-bizarre designs are mere “click-bait” used to garner “attention and engagement in hopes to drive sales.”
“I hope these are always 50% off!.”
