Thong Jeans, The Latest In Barely-There, Bizarre Fashion

We've seen ripped jeans and distressed denims, jeans with massive cutouts and pants with plastic knees. But this one pair takes the cake.

The daring pair of denims, with everything but the seams cut away, left the Internet collectively shaking its head.

"Thong jeans should not be a thing. Just no," writes one exasperated user on Twitter. "Why even bother wearing jeans?" wonders another.

Here is what people are saying about the bizarre new jeans:

A piece of duct-tape would do the same thing in much lesser price. To feel better, we can call it "thong jeans - skin fit". #thongjeans pic.twitter.com/SDEWVlCiTy

According to the Daily Mail, these jeans are not available in stores yet (in case you actually wanted to buy a pair).

While this may be the 'edgiest' trend of them all, it is certainly not the first time that designers have tried to experiment with a good 'ol pair of denims.
