You might be on to a thing the John Wayne Thalia, they look like cowboy chaps to me.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 19/05/2017 07:19

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
I was so focused on the denim chaps of doom that I didn't even notice the body. Classic misdirection.

LuluLovesFruitcakes · 19/05/2017 07:20

I came here expecting to see something similar to the 90s/00s trend of cargo trousers that could be long shorts/trousers thanks to a zipper or Velcro (please tell me I'm not the only one who remembers ~and had~ those 😬)

But those.... I have no words. Fancy dress as a cowboy? 🤠

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 19/05/2017 07:24

That model clearly lost at Rock Paper Scissors with the other models.

ThaliaLuxurySpa · 19/05/2017 07:28

Crikey blimey...this clip demonstrates exactly how you'd need to walk in order to avoid being rubbed raw by those monstrosities.

(Added bonus, attractive cowboy in chaps, just for LizTaylorsFabulousTurban) Wink

Great idea in theory.

You are out and about and suddenly the sun comes out and it would be great to take off your hot jeans and wear shorts.

You unzip the legs of the jeans and off you go, parading your toned pins.

Then the sun goes in and you're feeling chilly. You rummage in your bag and pull out a jeans leg and reattach. Oh no! Where is the other leg?! It must have fallen out of your bag or perhaps you were pray to an insidious pick pocket?

Unless individual leg replacements are available to purchase in the event of a loss or theft, then I won't be purchasing these.

Those fuckers are going to keep haunting me in ads now. It'll be like the M&S pink dress, but worse (if that's actually possible).

BadToTheBone · 19/05/2017 08:03

I told dh I'd like them for our holidays, now the holiday is cancelled and he's asked for a divorce, those jeans ruined my life!!!

picklemepopcorn · 19/05/2017 08:04

I was expecting something very practical that you stylish people were being mean about... But no. True jaw flapping hideousness.

It's bad enough worrying about VPL, with those you'd be worried about visible panties. Horrible.

RosemaryPotato · 19/05/2017 09:49

Denim diapers with attached legs more like.

Crochita,

"...Then the sun goes in and you're feeling chilly. You rummage in your bag and pull out a jeans leg and reattach. Oh no! Where is the other leg?! It must have fallen out of your bag or perhaps you were prey to an insidious pick pocket?"

Loved the image you paint!

"You unzip the legs of the jeans and off you go..."

Precisely. The normal, quite handy method.

The theory's sound; this execution's so laughable, I agree.
These jean legs are only 'attached' by what looks like a fabric loop over a single button (or press stud method?), right on the mid-outside crotch area and an outer thigh side button/ press stud.

That ruddy great gap everywhere, though!!!

I suppose that's high-end fashion to a T, and supposedly the appeal of these...er...masterpieces : to render them über-exclusive for only a tiny demographic of nuts seriously confident, lithe, under 25 yr olds, prepared to shell out for the privilege.

But suppose the idea's ripped off by high st. stores, made widely available to everyone, and we're treated to even worse visions of loveliness the whole summer...Jeez. The mind boggles.

Tiger,

Can strongly recommend (free) Adblock Plus.
Learnt that lesson after M&S Pink Dress invaded my nightmares, too. Grin

How on earth did I miss this gem from the same designer???? Grin
(A mere snip at £388).

Poor model's expression suggests she's reconsidering her life choices.

Ohhhh that's very funny, the look on her face is priceless.....unlike the....pants she's wearing? Would you call those pants or stockings?

ThaliaLuxurySpa · 19/05/2017 18:12

I think I'd call them them the "concept" of a desperate Creative working to tight deadline, Out ...but then I'm sarcastic and clearly don't understand fashion.

Now there is something to fear even more than THAT pink dress!

Gingefringe · 20/05/2017 09:41

They're 403 Euro and two sizes are sold out!!

Hilarious

WelshMoth · 20/05/2017 10:07

Holy shit!

ThaliaLuxurySpa · 20/05/2017 17:02

Are these One Teaspoon eyesores attempting to pass as shorts and jeans, all at once? Grin

(Hey Fashionistas, want that "attacked by crazed animal" look?).
