Detachable cut-out jeans are genuinely the worst thing we've ever seen
Something terrible is happening to jeans. First we had Topshop's clear plastic jeans. Then Nordstrom decided to sell fake mud jeans for $425.
And, now Opening Ceremony is trying to make "detachable cut-out front jeans" happen. Can you not. We really, really mean it.
These detachable jeans -- designed by Y/Project -- can be worn two ways. You can wear them as full-length trousers, with your under-butt and groin exposed. Nice.
"These 2-in-1 Y/Project trousers come in a straight-leg silhouette with slim-fitting, detachable shorts that feature high-rise cutouts along the front," reads Opening Ceremony's product description.
Maybe that extra spot of ventilation will come in handy during those hot, humid summer months.
If you're feeling extra bold, you can detach the legs of the jeans and wear them as denim shorts.
Oh, and these absolutely monstrous jeans will set you back a whopping $425.
Whatever will they think of next?
