should the need arise.

I'm guessing you and your whole family could pitch a large tent under those pants, maybe even including the family dog.

I'm with fashionista. Possibly even an entire neighborhood.

When not being used as a circus tent, you can do recession chic another way by wearing these pants to a party and hiding appies in those gigantic pockets to feed yourself later on. Actually, come to think of it, those pants look big enough to conceal an entire roast under a silver platter.

funny thing is
when I was little I used to plan what I wore to bed so I could survive for a year if my house burnt down in the night
weird, I know. but I had it so well planned out. I'd wear shorts for the summer when it's hot, with sweatpants for the winters, a tank top for summer, a t shirt for fall and a thick shirt for winter!
I think that these pants would have been much easier.

haha you could definitely live in those theyre quite HUGE.

love you haiku as always

My understanding is that those pants have no heating, are infested with mice, and are owned by an alcoholic South African, so beware.

Have you also noticed the recent onslaught of 'recessionista chic' then?? Basically, the remarketing cheap and perhaps durable (but not always) clothes.

I much prefer your slant on it!

Katy said...

I like the wide-leg silhouette, but LAWLZ.

Aiyah.

Lesley Myrick said...

Is it wrong that I like these?

I could probably store my entire wardrobe in those....

The funny thing is, you wouldn't run the risk of showing VPL in those pants...

Eli said...

OMG I would like to see the person who actually wears those!

the Constantly Dramatic One said...

Crazy as it is....I actually know someone who would actually loves this and WILL wear it as a "fashion statement".

True story.

The first line is 6 syllables.... but we'll let it slide for such a funny picture.

Sadly close to the size of my Manhattan apartment. Sigh. I may have to use these for shelter--150 is a steal :)

haha thats an awesome haiku :P
can you do another inadvertently daddy likey again sometime soon ? those are so funny.

Ania said...

At least you'd be warm. With so much excess material at the bottom it'd be like sleeping in a tent!

holy moles that's hilarious!

paanie said...

i adore vpl but these pants aren't for me.

Vanessa said...

I have a feeling that these would have been against my high school's dress code, since you could probably smuggle at least two guns, a combat knife, a 40, and several grams of coke in them undetected.

chloe said...

Although I am usually against wide legged pants, especially on me, those are highly impressive. As is your haiku. Very poetic.

Tricia said...

bad, bad, raver flashback inducing pants.

Maybe this is all of the fabric that shopbop slashes off the bottoms of its dresses?
