We’ve all seen some strange fashion trends in the past. Some of the best ideas, like South Park or the Red Hot Chili Peppers, started out as jokes or spoofs. At first, it’s hard to understand some trends. You might just laugh out loud at first, or you might just scratch your head in confusion. Well, here’s a great example that fits this description perfectly. It’s from a company called Wet Pants Denim, and it’s a pair of jeans that look like they were made for people with incontinence.
In 2019, the idea exploded onto the world’s fashion scene, but not in a very big way. The urine-stained crotch look wasn’t for everyone, and while a few famous people supported the New York-based denim brand’s idea, most people just didn’t get it. Let’s look more closely at this crazy trend and decide for ourselves what we think about it.
1. But why incontinence?
Some fashion trends are misunderstood and put away again. We tell ourselves that we would never wear them. But does Wet Pants Denim have more to it than meets the eye?
The CEO says that the idea came from the fact that some people like to pee in their jeans for fun. I think, though, that there’s more to it than that. Instead, it could be a powerful social statement to wear a pair of jeans with a stained crotch and be proud of it.
We forget that we are all getting older because we are always celebrating youth culture and young people in whatever way we can. Many of us worry about this and hate the thought of having to be cared for someday. Wet Pants Denim shows us there’s nothing wrong with that. They say that being incontinent is a sign of getting older and losing control, and that you should wear it with pride.
