Meet the ‘Clear Knee Mom Jean’.
Topshop know their jean trends, the collection of embroidered styles are amazing this season, but the latest fad isn’t to everyone’s taste.
A new style of jean has gone on sale, featuring clear plastic instead of denim on the knee and naturally, people have a lot to say about this idea.
We can see why… the plastic looks uncomfortable, could bring on a rash for those with sensitive skin and one has to wonder what purpose these patches actually serve.
They’re priced at €68 and the new style of jeans has caused quite the furore over on Twitter:
There are SO many questions.
