In 2018, we have been blessed (or cursed, depending on how you see it) with a myriad of new and exciting and disturbing fashion and beauty trends. Every year, we seem to add to the piles of fads that should have never been and that of trends that are gone from our world too soon.
This year, we have one that perhaps straddles the line between positive and negative. Twitter is very much in disagreement about this new fashion fad, and I am curious as to where you stand because I feel like a person’s view of this new piece of clothing says a lot about who they are deep down inside.
That is right. I am talking about fried chicken pants. Believe me, had I known at the start of the year that I would be writing about pants that look like fried chicken, I would have gone and jumped in a lake because the notion is so ridiculous. And yet, here I am, and here you are. The world works in mysterious (and delicious) ways.
Before we get to the fried chicken pants, let us take a stroll down memory lane.
Fashion, the whole concept of it, had quite a year. Here are some of the most insane and silly trends we thought up this year!
Tiny sunglasses
Tiny sunglasses were just one of many ’90s trends that came back into fashion this year, and honestly, I’m here for it.
The less functional, the more I like them.
Plastic bag
Apparently, it became a thing this year to carry around this plastic shopping bag as a purse.
Some sort of anti-fashion statement. Bag ladies everywhere were thrilled.
Fake news jeans
Honestly, of all the news items that people claimed were fake this year, I wish this one actually was.
Who bought these? I want to talk to this person. (I am assuming only one person bought these.)
Pillow coat
Yes, it looks ridiculous. Ridiculously comfortable!
I honestly don’t care how I look as long as I’m comfortable, so this is something I would spend money on.
Bra bags
This is definitely a lewk.
I love that they are described as “resolutely practical,” which are two words I would never ever use to describe these.
Double shirt
I am sorry, but that first guy looks like a crazy character from a Wes Anderson movie. This is not real life.
Ziploc aesthetic
You know, ever since I saw that movie Bubble Boy, I always wanted to live my life wrapped in plastic. Now I can, and stylishly too!
Layered coat
Balenciaga is playing a huge joke on us.
I’m convinced of this now.
Fanny pack slides
Not gonna lie, would wear, if they came in different colors. I’m just not a neon person, you know?
But apparently, I am a fanny-pack-on-your-foot person.
Rainbow teeth
No no no no no no! There aren’t enough “no’s” in the world for this.
Why is this a thing?!
Halo brows
There have been a lot of bad eyebrow trends, and I would say this one takes the cake except I think the pencil-thin brows I had between seventh and ninth grade were actually worse.
Garden brows
This is one of those things that looks fine and cool in magazines but if you were to go out in your real life with these, you would be laughed out of town.
Corkscrew nails
Hey, whatever gets the wine bottle open, right?
No seriously, though, do they work on wine bottles?
Bob Ross eyeshadow
This has to be photoshopped, right? That portrait of Bob Ross is too perfect.
As someone who can’t even do regular eye makeup without smudging it, this looks impossible.
The Birth of Venus eyeshadow
Bob Ross is one thing, but how about some classic Botticelli?
You know, put your art history final up on your eyes. Why not?
Flower vase hair
I really hope this woman knows she looks exactly like Cindy Lou Who from Dr. Seuss’ Whoville.
As long as she knows that, she can keep doing this.
Fried chicken pants
Now, These are pants with fried chicken on them. That is a fact.
But these are not exactly the fried chicken pants.
Are you ready for pants that look just like fried chicken?
I mean, they don’t just have pictures of fried chicken on them.
These pants are actually shaped like fried drumsticks.
BAM! Fried chicken pants:
Here they are, folks. The next new fashion trend to sweep the nation and the world.
Fried chicken pants.
These may confuse and upset you at first.
I mean, they really do make your butt look insane.
Let’s see what the Twitterverse had to say about these.
This person wants a pair.
I mean, look at your backside in these pants. They are not flattering.
How does it even work? Still, they look kind of comfy.
Here are the pants in action:
You know, from this angle, with this outfit, they look kind of chic.
I mean, this woman is clearly pulling them off well.
Some wanted a pair because they look comfy.
And they do! For Thanksgiving day, when you need pants with a little “give,” these might be actually kind of perfect.
Especially when you’re chomping on a turkey leg.
They are mesmerizing.
I can’t stop either. I can’t stop contemplating whether I like them or not.
I am a fan of orange pants. I am a fan of fried chicken.
And yet…
They really do look super silly.
I don’t know if I could pull them off.
Idiots. We are all idiots.
It’s true. These pants make you look insane.
However, they do look comfy.
What about picnic pants?
Um, I have never heard of these before, but I love them. I smell a crossover.
Fried chicken picnic pants, anyone?
Imagine this scene, you, Fran Drescher, whoever, sitting in the park, going to town on a bucket…
Ultimately, would I like to be enveloped in billowy, comfy pants while I’m chowing down on some fried chicken?
The answer is:
I rest my case. Fried chicken pants forever!
