Normally, this column features items for men, questions sent in by readers on the matter of their own fashion and style choices, or things we see out and about that are decidedly man-centric. But then I saw this alarming new potential trend emerge I knew I had to put it before the jury because I just don’t know where I stand on it.
Bikini jeans do, admittedly, have a strange appeal, as anything that smacks of this kind of vulgarity does. I remember when that whole Brazilian influence hit, that visible-panties-over-the-top-of-the-jeans craze and thinking how silly that was, but eventually I got used to it, inasmuch as there were endless numbers of muffintop girls who were flagrantly violating the privilege. This one takes that idea and bumps it up a step or six.
I’m thinking that the only people who could possibly carry this one off are the people who shouldn’t be wearing anything so decidedly sexy: 12 year old girls. I do love it when a hot pair of hip-huggers walks by, but the panties built in gives me serious pause. But maybe that’s just me being too timid and conservative.
What do you think—is this something that you’d like to see walking down your summer streets? (More pictures at the link below to help you shape your opinion.)

Just as a counterexample, the Sartorialist offers the bikini jeans antithesis with this entry from Berlin.
Would you prefer this lose, shapeless and sloppy look over the airbrushed-on bikini jean?
so fucking stupid. super crapper.
If you aren’t a stripper, you probably shouldn’t be wearing these… and if you are.. everyone will assume you are a stripper :)
And there should be some seriously strict controls on who can purchase pants like these!
J.
These are the worst things I have ever seen.
sadly the people most likely to buy these will be getting them in a size 15+
my eyes my eyes….
But these are, basically, tight jeans with holes cut out of the hips, right? The fact that they’re called “bikini jeans” doesn’t mean that they’re not something a trashy girl could do herself with an ordinary pair of jeans and a pair of scissors.
That aside, the flesh-spillage issue is too serious to ignore. Crapper.
OMG that is just horrible
i think these just might be the most thrasy jeans i have ever seen. if this is what you want to look like PLEASS just buy some realy low jeans. so that at least your real bikkini bottom’s can have some kind funky print on them(i think too much denim AINT good!). then you can still only wear them on your way to the beach.
so i would take those german jeans over these any day. but hey mabey thats just me being european.
also i never realy got use to those realy high g-string. its just trashy it doesnt ad any thing to the outfit execpt mabey the feeling that see is realy unconftrebal ( :S hope thats spelt right ). and i dont like to think im some boring ld guy that just doesnt get the jong folks seeing im just 18!
mark,
holland, amsterdam
ps. btw im just talking about the jeans on it self :P im not even starting about the rest of the jeans :P.
oow and yeah thats right its not the dutch ppl ceeping the strippers in buisnes thats the tourists :P
Hideous. The upside is that the google adwords on the side picked up your mention of underwear and are now featuring ads for incontinence and adult diapers.
I’m not a prude. I’ve got no issues with skin. I’ll even freely admit that my taste tends toward the trashy sometimes… but even I can’t get down with these. They’re gawd-fucking-awful. Crapper, fo’ real.
i have a pair just like that
wow.
those are an abomination to both fashion, and women.
totally crapper. this isn’t a whole lot different than wearing a thong underneath low-rise hip-huggers where the top of the thong sticks out anyway. and if the “bikini” part is actually a part of the jeans themselves, then apparently you’re expected to go commando underneath…
disgustingly crapper. it’s just…I can’t even summon the words. rough.
That reminds me of those “butt crack” jeans that came out a few years ago. But these are hella worse.
Sorry, I meant the “butt cleavage” jeans.
okay people for one that is rude but i know people go around in a skirt that barely covers their butt and people don’t say anything or say”Girl that is too short” but they’re playing okay so these show some of your hip but if people can wear that then people can wear this cause it’s not slutty and it’s not for strippers and i like them cause thhey’re unique and besides i barely show that much skin unless it’s my arms and even then i wear a jacket so if i would wear these then they’re okay besides i want a pair
Further proof that, just when you think North Americans couldn’t get any more tasteless, the Japanese find a way to outdo us. Is this going to put the ‘used panty vending machine’ market out of business, or will they just have to make the vending machines bigger to accommodate a larger product?
What’s wrong with the people responding here?!?
Honestly I wonder how people can think these aren’t sexy?
Crawl out from under your rocks and see what’s happening outside. It’s like these folks have never seen a hot piece before. If you’ve got it - show it off. What are you afraid of? Oh I get it, another snickers please…
Only republicans don’t know how this works I suppose…
Nice jeans :)
Gonna buy for my wife :D
I think these are hot. I only wish I was younger so I could reasonably wear these out in public. I would be sure that my boyfriend would like to look at some cute little hottie in these and I would encourage that. Very sexy.
this is a stupid idea simply because you should really just be wearing a bikini and jeans. i mean its sexy (except i kind of hate the denim bikini but whatever) but what if you are at the beach? you just look like an ass. girls should get on wearing the bikinis that tie on the side with tight jeans more though. disgustingly sexy
