Butt rip jeans are the latest terrible jeans trend that we definitely never needed
Have you ever thought to yourself: "I know what'd look really great — jeans with massive rips on the butt?" Yeah, me neither.
Irrespective of that, they exist and someone, somewhere might have bought them.
The rather peculiar garment is available from online fashion retailer Pretty Little Thing for £25 ($34), which isn't too bad really given some of the extortionate price tags attached to some of the more abstract denim designs out there.
According to the product description for the "Bum Rip High Waisted Skinny Jean," the idea is to "flaunt some skin" with these "seriously on point" jeans.
"Featuring a black denim fabric with a flattering high waisted fit and distressed bum detail and a zip leg, style with your everyday pieces or dress them up for hitting the town with your besties," the description continues.
If black denim isn't your thing, the "jeans" happen to be available in blue denim too.
If you look at the jeans closely, they kind of look like a pair of hot pants worn with thigh high boots.
Cool, I guess?
