If you thought rear-zipper jeans and jeans with see-through knees were offbeat, then wait till you see the latest creation from designer Thibaut.
On Thursday, the Tokyo-based designer debuted a style on the runway at Amazon Fashion Week Tokyo that Insider has aptly dubbed “thong jeans.”
The pants are basically jeans with the front and back panels cut out, as Harper’s Bazaar notes. Naturally, Twitter had some thoughts:
2017 has been a year of strange fashion trends, each one getting a little bit more out there than the next. The most bizarre creation so far this year? Thong jeans. Thong jeans premiered on the runway at Amazon Fashion Week Tokyo at new designer Thibaut’s show. The thong jeans are missing front and back panels, entirely. What’s left is just the waist, zipper, and seams down the sides, around the ankles, and down the butt. While it may not be something the majority of people would wear, fashion knows no boundaries.
