'Clear Knee Mom Jeans' Are The Latest Fashion Trend to Confound the Internet
The fashion world is mysterious, and by the time we start questioning how a specific clothing item came about, we're already looking back and saying, "What the hell was I thinking wearing that?!" But while many trends come and go with the tides of time, one item of clothing seems to be here to stay — jeans. Yes, jeans are a staple in the fashion world, mainly because they can evolve with the times. We've seen bell-bottomed jeans, high-waisted jeans, skinny jeans, mom jeans, ripped jeans, faded jeans — jeans are essentially the potatoes of the clothing industry. But now, just like when the food industry tried to make pumpkin-spiced fries a thing, it seems the fashion industry has also taken the versatility of jeans too far. Nordstrom/Top Shop have released something called "Clear Knee Mom Jeans"...
These are actual jeans you can buy at @Nordstrom that cost $95.
