16 Wild Denim Designs That Went Viral And Baffled The Internet

In the past year or so, denim has evolved beyond the categories we all know and love.

In place of the boot-cut, skinny, and distressed, the fashion world has spawned some impressively inventive, and baffling, looks.

There was the denim jacket that would only fit Slenderman; there was the one that would swallow you whole. There were jeans for flaunting your butt cheeks and jeans for flaunting your butt crack. There were upside-down shorts and detachable jean legs; denim bustiers and denim thongs.

Below, check out 16 of the wildest denim designs that have left people scratching their heads.

People had a lot to say about these jeans with transparent plastic panels.

In March 2017, the internet was divided over this $95 pair of jeans from Topshop . Featuring large, plastic-covered cutouts over both knees, the pants had some reaching for their wallets and others tweeting in disbelief .

Sadly, if you’re hoping to draw people’s attention to your knees, look elsewhere. This pair is currently sold out everywhere.
