The Inverted Jeans Is The Latest In The League Of Weird Denim Styles

I am someone who strongly advocates for artistic liberty. Sometimes, you have a vision in your head and you just have to give it physical form. Essentially it is the artist’s take on the subject that serves as inspiration. And sometimes, these takes can be a bit hard to digest for the general public. And recently one industry that has been pushing the boundaries of this love-hate relationship is the fashion industry.

To be more specific, with denim. We’ve witnessed weird distressed bum detail jeans, extreme cut-out jeans and what not. Add to that the sky-high prices they boast of and it’s practically an attack against mankind.

Now, joining the league of weird denim bottoms no one asked for, is the upside down jeans.

Is it just me, or does looking at this pair of jeans trying to make sense of it, give you a headache? I mean, what’s even going on here?

The brainchild of the brand Cie Denim, a pair of this inverted high-rise jeans named Will, retails at almost a whopping ₹34,000. The company description reads:

“The Will is our original inverted high-rise jean. Features belt loops that wrap around the ankle, back pockets up the calf and a waistband made from the original ankle hem. Every pair is constructed in NYC out of hand selected vintage denim making each pair one of a kind.”

Can someone explain to me what the purpose of ankle wrapping belt loops is? Right, it’s ‘ART’.

Cie Denim even has a shorts option of the inverted jean for their customers who’d like to feel some breeze on their legs.

This particular style is called Nancy and retails at a little less than it’s long-legged cousin. As little as ₹26000 to be exact. Oh yeah, that’s it.

What is even happening with our clothes now? The trusty jeans. The wardrobe staple. Why do we need to mess around with something that’s already perfect? Yet, I remember the words of the best goddamn Disney princess to date, Shuri: “Just because something works, doesn’t mean it can be improved.” Alright, Shuri. I’m going to take your word on this. But do these new “styles” count as an improvement though? What do you think?
