Denim Undies Are Real (And Expensive)!

A Parisian based fashion brand has released a pair of denim undies that will set you back a small fortune…

French fashion brand Y/Project has combined the wardrobe staples of denim and underwear to create a clothing item that has rocked Parisian runways. While the high-waisted, zip fronted mini shorts aren’t officially undies, they do look suspiciously like them and are raising eyebrows for their $470 price tag!

It’s Fashion, Darling

The Sun reports that responses to the shorts have been met with a mixture of shock and disgust online, labelled ‘ugly’ and ‘horrible’, but the fashion community have other ideas. Canadian e-store SSENSE even dedicated an entire post to styling the denim undies (let’s be honest, that’s what they are). “Two words: denim panties,” their post read. “The SSENSE editors show you five ways to take your Canadian tuxedo to the next level. These ‘brief-style’ shorts can be worn under or over pants, meaning they’re far more versatile than what you’d traditionally expect from a pair of briefs. Underwear doesn’t need to stay ‘under-there’.” Unfortunately, we have to say we disagree…

A Step Too Far

SSENSE’s post received over 9000 likes in just two days with shoppers unsure who would be purchasing the shorts. “Chafing is great…” said one Instagram user. “Two words…yeast infection,” said another. Although we think these shorts (denim undies) take things a step too far, it seems customers disagree, with many sizes already sold out!

These definitely aren’t the school-run appropriate shorts we had in mind, but if you love an unusual clothing item and have $500 to throw around, why not give these denim undies a go?

Would you be brave enough to try these high cut denim shorts? Let us know in the comments!

They don’t look nice, I imagine they wouldn’t be overly comfortable and who would want to spend nearly $500 on a pair of ugly, uncomfortable undies

ahh…I don’t think so. Apart from the fact that i don’t have the legs for that kind of fashion, i just don’t think they look any good at all.

Not my kind of fashion – will not be owning this denim number any time soon.

Plenty of women who pay hundreds for a pair of high heels which cause agonising pain to walk in. Fashion can be costly and not just money wise.

Why, you can not really tell me that people are actually wearing these. The cost and what it will do to your body.

They look really uncomfortable and probably unflattering.

No way would I spend that much on a pair of undies even if i was blessed with an income that allowed me such freedom. It is too expensive and I would not want a pair anyway.

The material seems a bit rough to use for undies. The design is too high cut to wear as short for me. Let alone the price of $470 per undie is to high for my budget. So no, I’ve no intention to try these

  My first thought too – they do not look comfy and underpants need to be comfy!

Medical Professionals have issued several warnings about wearing tight denim jeans etc. and these will be even worse as they are worn against your skin in an “intimate” area. Definitely an infection waiting to happen
