Dapper Or Crapper: Bikini Jeans

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.)
