Nordstrom / Topshop
I like Nordstrom. I do a lot of shopping at both Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack. But I have to ask one question: what in the actual fuck was Nordstrom thinking by putting these mom jeans with clear plastic knees up for sale?
Twitter’s has been having a field day with these clear knee mom jeans, so much so that Twitter created one of their Moments around people roasting these jeans. Before we get to the tweets, let’s take a good, hard look at these completely asinine mom jeans and all question why these even exist in the first place:
Nordstrom / Topshop

What. The. Fuck?!?
Now, Twitter has some hate takes on these jeans that shouldn’t exist:
Mad libs, but for fashion. https://t.co/DpMPYZge39

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should. https://t.co/bbYn1DKaBC

These jeans are real. You can purchase them for $95 on Norstrom. I can’t imagine any reason to purchase these jeans other than for a Halloween costume. I could spend all day questioning humanity over these jeans but I won’t, that would be pointless. Instead, I’ll just share these great tweets with you bros and let you go forth into the world and share this article with some chick you know who might wear these jeans, share this with her so that she knows that purchasing these clear plastic mom jeans would be a bad, bad, VERY AWFUL AND BAD idea.
