The Craziest Pants That People Actually Made

Trousers (or pants, if you watch a lot of American shows, but hopefully you’ll forgive us here for the word play) come in all shapes, designs, colours, and fits. But what makes a pair your favourite? It may be that you have a good day every time you wear a certain pair, or that your too-good-for-this-world mum sewed you a pair that has remained your favourite since your teens. Whatever the fit, feel or aesthetic of your personal pants, they continue to make you feel good no doubt; maybe they even played a role in the winning streak at your last online bingo session!

But while pants come down to individual preference, there are a few pairs that we can collectively agree are a bit too crazy, even for the folk at Lucky Pants Bingo, who are all for the weird and wonderful!

Let’s take a look at some of these failures on humanity’s part.

Boot ‘pants’

Not to be mistaken with boot-leg “pants”, these are boots and trousers – in one! But don’t expect to find these trousers in the clothing section: you’ll need to go to the shoe section, as they are identified primarily as boots; they just happen to go all the way up, putting knee-high and thigh-high boots to shame. You know what they say: the higher the boots the… No, never mind, we have nothing.

Detachable jeans

Perhaps these exist because you never know when a wild animal will be chasing you and you’ll need to detach the legs from your pants to get away.

These potentially life-saving jeans have a nappy-like cut that sits uncomfortably just under the butt and are attached to the legs of the pants via traditional jean buttons (not the quickest release mid-chase, we might add). Starting at just £300, you can catch celebs such as Gigi Hadid sporting these… and if you’re wondering why, you’re not alone.

Muddy jeans

If you were expecting something other than jeans that have been intentionally made to look like they have mud on them, you’re in for a disappointment. Another £300 travesty, pre-muddied jeans are for the man who wants to look rugged but isn’t actually rugged. Just remember to buy the matching mud-denim jacket, to really rub it in.

Tulle skirt and jean combo

For the days you feel like being both practical and fantastical, pull out your favourite jean-and-skirt combo and allow yourself to step out, wearing your favourite jeans and a tulle skirt over them! It’s every five-year-old’s dream come true.

Feather-trimmed flared jeans

That, friends, is exactly what it sounds like: just a normal pair of flared jeans, complete with feathers from the knee down. For everyone’s favourite Clydesdale horse look. Dry-clean only and cat-friendly.

Shorts and jeans – in one

Are they shorts? Are they jeans? No, they’re both! These look like you’re wearing a big pair of denim shorts over your jeans. Because you couldn’t decide? Because you got dressed in the dark? We’re not entirely sure.

Cowboy boot sandals

Now, these may not be pants, but we had to put them on our list purely for the utter absurdity of them: cowboy boot sandals. They’re like cowboy boots from the ankle up, and sandals from the ankle down. “Oh no!” you might say? Oh yes! For only £105, you too can rock the cowboy look while enjoying the sunshine on your toes.

Their American inventor, Scotty Franklin, was “lounging on white-sand beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama” when he saw a man wearing cowboy boots and thought, “The poor fellow shouldn’t have to sacrifice cowboy fashion in order to stay cool on this hot day.” And that was when it hit him – cowboy boot sandals – the ultimate combination.

Bum-rip jeans

If ripped jeans are already questionable… then bum-ripped jeans just seem out of the question. The “distressed bum-rip high-waisted skinny jean” as the description reads, is taking the fashion world by storm and it’s sure to leave you just that – distressed. At just £100, you’ll be wishing you had paid more to cover your backside. But if you’re going for it, be sure to don your best, er, pants underneath!

Plastic jeans

While one would think a cornerstone of jeans would be that they’re made out of denim, millennial fashion has once again surprised us all by bringing out a pair of see-through plastic “jeans” made from 100% polyurethane. I guess they were going on the whole “if you’ve got it, flaunt it” premise – because you’ll certainly be flaunting it all with these bad boys.

Seam-only jeans

Yes, you read that right. Taking the less is more approach are these Japanese designer seam-only jeans, which are basically the skeleton of a pair of jeans, with pure air replacing what would otherwise have been denim. Described as an “extreme cut-out jean”, we wonder just how extreme people are willing to go in the name of fashion, and we certainly hope this is it.
