Denim
Shorts-Pants Combo
The latest example of weird denim: these "Reworked Demi-Denims with Transparent Legs" from designer Ksenia Schnaider. Going for $395.I'm not even entirely sure what's going on with these things. It's like an attempt to combine shorts and pants into one garment. Shorts from the front, and pants from the back. But why?

Inside-Out Jeans
Back in 2018, I posted about upside-down jeans sold by CIE Denim. This inspired Phideaux to comment: "I guess the next thing is to have them look like they're inside out, as if you got dressed in the dark."Phideaux's guess is apparently the fashion industry's command, because retailer boohoo.com is now offering inside-out jeans for £15.

Upside-Down Jeans
The latest look in weird denim is upside-down jeans from CIE Denim. The belt loops and pockets are at the bottom of the pants, around the legs, instead of at the top around the waist where they should be.Apparently they were inspired by the Netflix show Stranger Things, which features a parallel universe called the Upside Down. Though I'd be surprised if anyone made that connection just by looking at the jeans.
They come in shorts, which go for $385, and full jeans for $495.

Mesh Jeans
There seems to be no limit to the weird things that designers can dream up to do with jeans.These "mesh jeans" from the designer Bless consist of vintage 501 Levi's that "feature an asymmetrical fold along the fly and a tan mesh panel down the full length of one side."
They retail for $590, but right now are on sale for a mere $236.

Lace-up Jeans
How much can you stretch the concept of jeans before they're no longer actually jeans?Case in point: these "Wild Thang" lace-up jeans from Fashion Nova. At least the price isn't that bad. They're going for $49.99.
