Thong Jeans: The Fashion Industry’s Latest April Fools-Worthy Prank

When I first read ‘thong jeans’, my okker-Aussie brain pictured a pair of denim-embellished pluggers. Alas, what greeted my eager peepers was much, much worse…

Introducing, the fashion industry’s latest prank on the impressionable public: thong jeans. Feast your eyes on these daring strips of denim that leave very little (if anything) to the imagination!

These uber-distressed threads were debuted during Japanese designer Thibaut‘s show at Amazon Fashion Week earlier this week, instantaneously putting my fresh pair of ripped Ksubi‘s to shame.

These jeans are the denim equivalent to that post-break-up, slutty get-up you rock to spite your ex. They’re the threads you bust out when you’re dying to flash everyone your breakie. They’re Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga’s meat dress and XTina’s Stripped style all bundled into one saucy denim negligee. Paired with your fave chunky Reeboks, how could you go wrong?

What are you thoughts on this (highly unlikely to take-off) trend? Do you have any denim disasters lurking in your closet? Join the discussion below!
