For many, jeans will always be a wardrobe staple. I’m particularly fond of denim and my dream job will likely have more to do with what I can wear to work over what I do in the office.
When jeggings came out, I was fairly skeptical of most pairs. How dare the industry change my beloved jeans! But, call me a hypocrite, after trying American Eagle’s surprisingly denim-feeling jeggings, I was sold…and most of my other jeans went to charity.
But sometimes practicality just can’t overcome the actual look of the item. Picnic pants, anyone? Check out five more weird designs below.
1. Garter/utility belt and leg warmers
Thank goodness these jeans…things are to be worn over skirts. A pocketed garter belt to hold up jean leg warmers only makes me wonder, why not just wear pants in their entirety?
2. Keyboard/mouse/speaker jeans
Called Peripheral Pants, these jeans were practically made for our generation. These babies are able to connect to most laptop or desk computers so you can type, click and listen away. Useful? Definitely. Practical? Maybe not…
3. Pajama Jeans
I feel like these pajama pant jeans were specifically designed for people who are always on the go. I can’t even count how many times I’ve wanted to go to my breakfast buffet in my sweatpants, but had to look at least decently put together. These PJ pants would have made those 6 AM breakfasts so much more comfortable.
4. Boot-sock jeans
These jeans were obviously designed with the boot-wearer in mind. However, the hassle that will almost definitely come when wanting to wear something on your feet beside knee-high boots seems like too much for me.
5. Shoulder high pants
I know these aren’t technically jeans, but I just had to include these shoulder height pants, created by the Society for Rational Dress. Surprisingly, I’m actually not put off by this; it’s like a long-legged romper, and I have plenty of friends that would rock these and look great.
While I’m all for new styles of jeans (except I will never be able to pull off the high-waist look), but these extremely practical yet almost wholly unstylish jeans just do not do it for me.
Lovelies, what’s the weirdest jean style or trend you’ve ever seen? Would you ever wear or use any of these looks?

I work at Wal*Mart and people are complaining alllll the time that we don’t have pyjama jeans….
I have mixed feelings. I hate it when people are too lazy go put on real pants so they might be better, but pyjama jeans are just… wrong.

I have some PJ jeans! they are awesome!

I need some PJ Jeans in my life.

But what makes “real pants”? Really, thats just a matter of personal opinion.
I often OFTEN (as in 99.9% of the time) wear yoga pants, many people don’t consider them actual fashion, but they ARE real pants (surely they aren’t imaginary after all).
I’ve also been known to head to the store in the early morning hours, or late afternoon, or deep of night in my pink flannel pants, who says they aren’t real pants.
Do only jeans and slacks qualifie for pants in your world? How do you know I didn’t wake up, pick out those specific flannel pants to wear with my black hoodie to dress and leave the house in? If I am putting on clothing, am I still lazy?
How about in the summer when people wear House Dresses ALL the time, they just throw them on when they get up in the morning and start there day, or I bet some people even sleep in them!
I just find the social stigma with people who wear “pajama wear” out and about. I personally don’t care what people think of me. I work 5 to 6 days a week in a suit in a stuffy office, my 1 or 2 days off if I want to wear PJ’s I will.

While the keyboard pants might look cool in theory, if you actually tried to use them, I have the feeling that it would look uncomfortably as though one might be masturbating.

The very first one is just…whoa 0_o

I really want some PJ jeans. They look comfy and I feel like I could get away wearing them to wal-mart without looking too trashy. But really, IMO, they are better than wearing leggings as pants.

If you look sloppy in it – they’re not real pants, in my opinion. Leggings aren’t pants, either, and jeggings just pass as pants.
I understand I can’t tell anyone what to do and nobody has to live by what I think. But unless you’re buying medicine or unexpectedly thrown into the public eye (going home with a bad hangover one morning my boyfriend discovered we needed windsheild washer fluid and made me go in wearing my jammies. i was extremely embarassed), I think you look ridiculous.
For the most part when I talk about people going in public though, I mean the people that always seem to have a weird smell and you can tell from looking at them and their attire that they didn’t bother getting dressed, shower, or anything that morning.
I think it just is a bad idea all together. If you run into anyone of importance, you’re just going to look like a big mess wearing pajamas. When you go in public, you should present yourself as you want people to precieve you.
But hey, maybe I just have watched too much What Not To Wear in my lifetime!
Another note, I also used to hate the girls who went to school with pajamas but their hair done and make up. Pick lazy or put together!

That last one…how did they…? Agh!
