Underwear that doesn’t need to stay “under there.”’ So… they are underwear? Or should you wear underwear under them? Are we really expected to wear three layers on our bottom halves?
Please, won’t the fashion industry leave jeans alone? Or at least prioritise making jeans that don’t dig into your stomach and gape at the back rather than committing horrific crimes against denim? We’ve seen super long extendo jeans, jeans that look like they’re covered in mud, and asymmetrical jeans we continue to have nightmares about.
Now, Y/Project, the same ‘creative’ types behind the denim jacket with strangely long sleeves, buttless jeans, and jeans that look like they’ve been done up wrong, is now selling what they describe as denim panties.
Denim panties are super short denim shorts designed to look like underwear but complete with belt loops and a button fastening in the style of your standard pair of denim.
The product description reads: ‘Denim brief-style shorts in navy. Fading throughout. Mid-rise. Three-pocket styling. Belt-loops at waistband. Copper-tone hardware. Tonal stitching.’
We don’t think these panties are designed to be worn as actual underwear (imagine trying to put clothes on top. Sounds uncomfortable), but at this point in bizarre fashion we truly can’t be certain. Ssense writes: ‘These “brief-style shorts” can be worn under or over pants, meaning they’re far more versatile than what you’d traditionally expect from a pair of briefs.
