Came up during a FB scroll on clothes website Shein....

Amongst many questions I have:
Do you wear underwear underneath an "outside" pair or do you just display your knicks?

If someone could enlighten me, I'd really appreciate it! I feel so old and unfashionable (I'm 29!)

These came up on my feed today too. If this is fashion now I'm very happy to be too old for it! Confused

My 19 year old DD sent me this earlier, it had been shared on her uni group chat. They were as bemused as the rest of us so I don't think it's going to be a major trend Grin

Some online clothes stores are bad scams be careful. Choosing words carefully. Cheap rubbish from China. If anything at all. Steal card numbers.
Not that you would buy those...

the80sweregreat · 15/02/2021 18:21

They are interesting I suppose :)
My belly would look choice in them ..

Bluetrews25 · 15/02/2021 18:22

Looks like something Little Mix would wear.

StanfordPines · 15/02/2021 18:23

Oh Christ. The amount of hair removal required would be unholy.

Aquamarine1029 · 15/02/2021 18:25

My husband amd children would have me committed if I tried to wear those, and I would thank them for it.

the80sweregreat · 15/02/2021 18:26

The shoes are very rock and roll ! ( 1970s)

GeordieGreigsButtButtZoom · 15/02/2021 18:26

You're 29? Do you remember Christina Aguilera making these fashionable once?

PawPawNoodle · 15/02/2021 18:27

Finally, a pair of trousers with just a full-on window display for my gunt.

JM10 · 15/02/2021 18:33

I actually think some sites like ASOS make some truly crap wtf clothes in the hope they go viral and people go to their site tomlook and them and buy something more normal.

the80sweregreat · 15/02/2021 18:36

Imagine any tv presenter or newsreader wearing these ? Instant fame , but in a bad way!

Christina Aguilera wore them in the early 00s. Does nobody else remember? To be fair, I've spent the entire time since trying to forget....

Shein is fine.I’ve had some lovely stuff from there.

Don’t think much of those trousers though! 😂

Riapia · 15/02/2021 18:45

Those, like leggings or shorts should not be worn by anyone over 30.
I’m far too old.

And fat.

NotFabulousDarling · 15/02/2021 18:47

I don't think anyone actually buys/wears this stuff. They design/make it because it goes viral on websites/social media where people are like "wtf is this?!"
In another corner of the internet, 15 year olds are probably seeing this and laughing at adults saying "if that's adult fashion they can keep it".

RainingBatsAndFrogs · 15/02/2021 18:49

Oh, that's hilarious.

Is there a back view?

MargaretThursday · 15/02/2021 18:50

It's the 20% off clothes. They've removed 20% of the trousers.

the80sweregreat · 15/02/2021 18:50

So they are old fashion really! I don't recall any celeb wearing them , but I am very old myself!
I don't mind the holey jeans ( I don't wear them myself , but they look nice on some people)
Or ' mom ' jeans as m and s call them !

Hold up! She made them fashionable??!! Never saw anyone but Aggers in them at the time & hers were better than these.

GeordieGreigsButtButtZoom · 15/02/2021 18:51

Shein is fine.I’ve had some lovely stuff from there.

Really? It was all late arriving and totally shit quality when I tried it. Well, glad some people didn't waste their money. The people who buy these chaps aside, of course.

brownet · 15/02/2021 18:51

Oh god didn't look at the user name I replied too! 🤣🤣

PussyCatInChristmasStockings · 15/02/2021 18:52

At least your fanjo would be well ventilated.

Yes it's PR

ShakespearesSisters · 15/02/2021 18:53

Omg, I saw these too. Screenshot and sent to DH for a laugh.
