The latest fashion trend sweeping TikTok has young people wearing “foldover jeans” or “undone jeans” — pants worn with the waistband folded down and the fly left open, revealing what looks like printed underwear underneath. Flowers. Stripes. The whole situation.
And yes, companies are actually SELLING pants pre-sewn this way so the undone look is permanent.
Some high-end fashion labels are charging up to $1,210 for the privilege of looking like you forgot to zip up before leaving the house. Cool, cool, cool.
Parents, naturally, are losing their minds.
But New York mom Lisa Alvarez — honestly, our hero — put it perfectly: “I used to wear sweatpants that said ‘Juicy’ on the butt in rhinestones and thought I looked cool. So who am I to judge?”
And there it is, ladies. The full circle moment we all needed.
As a mom of pre-teen girls, consider this your official warning that this trend IS coming to a Target near you very soon.
You’ve been warned. 👖
