Denim Leg Warmers: Could These Just Be The Most Ridiculous Style Of Jeans Yet?

We know fashion is a fickle business and designers are constantly trying to come up with the next big thing, but surely these jeans have to be a joke, right? Wrong. Apparently denim ‘leg warmers’ paired with denim shorts are the latest style of jean to flood your social media feed. If nothing else, they’re definitely a talking point. What do you think?

E-retailer Shein are selling a pair of high-waisted denim shorts, complete with matching denim leg warmers much to the confusion of consumers. The set retails for $31.95 as part of the fast fashion store’s plus-size range. Question is…are they shorts or jeans with the thighs cut out??

Commenters have been quick to voice their opinions on the new trend saying:

“Apparently, leg warmers are coming back … but in the worst way.”

“I couldn’t think of anything more uncomfortable #weirdsheinproducts.”

“I’m confused. Who are these even aimed at?”

”No thanks.”

”For when you’re cold but still not too cold, hahaha!”

“What season are you supposed to wear them in?”

“What is this? Either where shorts or pants. Did they run out of fabric in between?”

“I don’t understand fashion. People wear coat hangers and call it fashion.”

“Seriously fashion is getting beyond stupid.”

“For those days you just don’t feel like shaving your legs but it’s also hot outside.”

“Awesome! I hate having hot thighs and cold calves.”

“Finally I can show off my thigh tattoo again.”

There were a select few however you didn’t mind the get up.

“I actually quite like the look,” wrote one. “Adding to cart!”

In fact quite a few ‘influencers’ on Instagram have taken a liking to the denim leg warmers, so who knows, maybe they’ll be around for longer than we think!
