We’ve seen some really polarising fashion trends over the past few years, but just when we thought we’ve seen them all, online fast-fashion brand Shein has recently launched an item that raises eyebrows…for all the wrong reasons. Cue the high-waist cut-out straight-leg jeans—a pair of trousers that looks perfectly normal from the back, except that it has a huge gap that exposes your underwear in the front.
A Twitter user pointed out the inspiration behind the design, posting a picture of Blackpink’s Lisa on-stage ensemble during the group’s Pretty Savage performance late last year. The K-pop star was wearing a similar design by Thai label Pony Stone, known for its outlandish denim and cut-out pieces. While Lisa nailed the look for the show, we’re not exactly sure if anyone would sport this out and about on a regular basis. But hey, to each their own.

I must be getting old bc I don’t fancy showing everyone my pants (plus I don’t wear nice enough pants on the daily for others to want to see either) and these scream less fashion more cold crotch. @SHEIN_official pic.twitter.com/QayWMQIY38
