I’m starting a new feature on this blog entitled “I Don’t Get Fashion.” Due to my health, it has been two years since I’ve seen the outside world or been to a clothing store. But sometimes I glimpse a trend online, or through some sort of media, and emerge from the vision utterly baffled…like I’m looking at prototypes of an alien invention.
Disclaimer: I’m not trying to hate on anyone or anything. These fashion comments are coming from a former(ish) goth. Let’s not take ourselves too seriously, okay?
Anyway, Fashion, I know you must continue blasting out ever-new trends for eager consumers. But sometimes I still don’t get you.
First case in point: Drop Crotch Slim Harem Pants.
If one needs that “billowy upper leg (only)” feeling, or room for an industrial sized diaper, I guess one has come to the right place. Why not cover those pesky calves snuggly and allow plenty of open thigh chafing space?
You may be asking “what is the perfect body type to pull off this style?” And the answer is none. I’ll save us all the magazine article commentary and cut straight to the truth: no body type can “rock” this. Or even climb the ladder into “mildly passable.”
I can’t help but think each pair is a gruesome tailoring mistake for which any customer would instantly demand a refund (and maybe sue for damages).
I am asking, un-ironically, for anyone to speak out in support of this trend. If you love ’em, let me hear the baggy-crotch backlash! Or feel free to ponder their existence out loud.

Gross. Really gross.
They look like someone decided jodhpurs and sweat pants should be cross-bred. Here is a bad case of Frankensteining fashion, or… wait for it… jean splicing. I think this would be fine if I had to hide my Depends, or smuggle drugs in my crotch.
It looks like they stole one of those one-piece child pyjamas from a cartoon. There’s always that scene with a big fat man with tiny legs, wearing his weird pyjamas and his little hat, carrying a candle down the stairs
I keep thinking of that old Huggies (?) commercial: “He’s unhappy because he has a saggy diaper that leaks!”
I think this is one of those things that’s been declared a “new fashion trend” by the media, but that you’re never going to actually see someone wearing.
I’ve seen this somewhere…like someone jokingly made a pair of pants out of a top. They put their legs through the arms and sewed shut the neck hole. It was weird enough as it was, and that was when it was done for laughs. This? Is inviting pointing and laughing.
It looks as if have dookies in their pants. I once saw a hobo in this situation.
*as if they have
Lmao. These remind me of sweater pants – y’know, where you stuff your legs into the arms of a sweater and walk around as if they’re pants? Was that only me? Anyhoo…this is a totally ridonculous craze that I’ll never understand!
It a Justin Bieber style. I am ashamed to even know that but I have young nieces.
