Is this a new fashion trend?

[Mimm]

Wow. Why do so many women's fashion trends look horrifically uncomfortable? That's why I could never understand people complaining about the pajama pants/ yoga pants/ leggings trend. At least it didn't look miserable! And at least no one's ass was hanging out of them. :)

[kitten18]

Like these. Basically a denim thong.

And people complain about leggings. 🙄😳

SW PA, I often drive through our MAJOR college community- I think there are 5-6 colleges within walking distance of Diamonds job. I haven't noticed the shorts linked, mostly I see girls in workout leggings. I have seen a lot of these in our mall shop windows, but haven't seen any one anyone I know. http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&Category=bottoms_shorts-denim&ProductID=2000144227&VariantID=012

I saw a mom wearing them at a little league game a few weekends ago.  She was very overweight.  You could see her front lady bits outlined, too.

I saw something like this for sale at Walmart yesterday.  I mean these are as short as underwear, but not as tight. 

 

Barf

Eww. :ack2:

 

All wearers should be required to carry a towel around with them in case they need to sit down. 

 

And the reviews! For example:

 

"These shorts are soo tight , it hurts my lady parts really bad . I am a size 0 and I ordered a small . But everyone likes them . Beauty hurts"

 

:ohmy:

Oh good grief.  

 

I'm with everyone else.  Ew. Yuck.  I am not among young adult women enough to know if those are a trend; my 15yo and her friends definitely don't wear them.  I don't think she'd like them even if I allowed them, which I most definitely would not.

 

Maaaaaaaybe I could see wearing them at the pool or beach, like over a swimsuit or something.  But as regular clothing?  Ew.

 

Hahaha, I just showed these to my fashion-sensitive but sensible teenager.  She said, "Ew!  What IS that?  Who would wear that??  I don't want my butt hanging out!"

 

Then she said, "If you wore those, you could hardly expect older people NOT to give you 'the look'!"  Smart girl.

I don't think it's caught on here. Ew. I'm constantly surprised at what passes for street clothing.

[MEmama]

My first thought: Brrr!!! (It's still cold here)

 

Second thought: Why invite mosquito bites to such an unfortunate location?

 

Third thought: Ewwwww

[SebastianCat]

I live in a very hot and humid climate, but I haven't seen those yet.    Yuck.

Good thing I'd swallowed my coffee before reading this!

Dd is dual enrolled for the summer, and I've been driving her this past week.  It's about forty minutes from our house so I just hang around campus and wait for her.   It's been interesting to people watch.  Now here's the clothing that has me puzzled: 

 

Girls of all sizes are wearing shorts that have their "cheeks" hanging out.  I'm not talking short shorts or Daisy Dukes where the "cheek" is peeking out.  These are more of a V cut with lots of hanging involved.    It's almost like a thong with extra material.    Anyone else seeing this where they live? 

 

My dh saw a lot of this at the university two summers ago - mostly they were jeans with almost the whole backside cut out.  He'd been out of student life for a while and was shocked. Less last summer.  It's only just warm eniough for shorts now, so I don't know about this year, though he did mention that all the co-op students had issues with inappropriate office clothes.  It has to be pretty extreme before dh even notices, he is a guy who wears socks puled up with sneakers and shorts.

[Farrar]

I have seen these a few times, but not enough that I thought they were a big trend. Ick.

 

I am so not a prude. People should wear what they like. And some clothes are going to be a bit more uncomfortable than others, which is fine. But this is ugly and uncomfortable. I don't get it.

[PeachyDoodle]

There is, though. Look at the reviews. People have posted their own fishing-for-compliment reviews on there. Plus, one masculine-looking body in them. Interesting.

 

 

Ha! You didn't scroll down far enough to see actual buyers' pics!

 

I tried. I tried SOOOO hard to resist the urge to do something I'd regret and scroll down.

 

That's a piece of my innocence I'll never recover. :lol:

[Baseball mom]

That is just gross.

[El...]

Goodness gracious.  What sort of, uh, personal grooming would one have to do to wear that!?  Those are really, really small pants. 

[dirty ethel rackham]

Yowza.  I haven't seen anything like that and we are not particularly conservative as far as dress is concerned.  So many hills that I would not choose to die on, but this is one.  Gross.

[Forget-Me-Not]

Yikes. I haven't seen anything that tiny, but I do see short short short cutoffs on girls around here. A little cheek peeking out and the trend seems to be to leave the front pockets intact so they hang down beneath the cutoff part.

I got to see a pair walking up stairs ahead of me at a friend's house last week.  TMI TMI, I say. I actually stopped mid-landing to re-tie my shoe.  

 

[The Girls' Mom]

I've seen one girl at our college wearing something similar.  I couldn't help but think about all the nasty butts sitting in all the desks around campus, and how there is no way I'd want those bits of me coming in contact with those same desks.   :ack2:  :ack2:  :ack2:  :ack2:

[momacacia]

All the swimsuit bottoms in Hawaii last month were like that. Was weird. Even the one pieces and the wetsuits.

[scoutingmom]

Ok, I looked at the site but did NOT scroll down, and I think I never will.

 

Have not seen them here!
