We have some questions about these ‘open back’ jeans from ASOS

Do we really need these in our lives?

Most notably, why?

ASOS are known for being on the ball on the jeans front.

They’ve got high-rise jeans, skinny jeans, low-rise jeans, cheap jeans, boyfriend jeans, mom jeans, and even expensive jeans.

All of these are jeans we’ve either worn to death in the past or are at least considering wearing in the future.

Now, however, ASOS are selling a strange kind of jeans, and we’re really not all that sure about them.

The retailer’s new ‘open back’ jeans are very much business in the front.

And party in the back.

They’re as confusing as their name would suggest. We’re not entirely sure why they exist and, to be honest, neither are other people either.

What is the purpose of the open back in this scenario?

Do ASOS want to make us consistently paranoid about accidentally showing some arse every time we bend over?

Or is the open back meant to be used a convenient harness, to pull us away from lads that we would never dream of chatting up but now that we’ve had a few G&Ts and are wearing our funky open back jeans, they seem like the loves of our lives?

We’re not sure, but either way, we can’t see ourselves wearing these jeans anytime soon.

But if you’re any way that inclined, the straight-leg, high-waisted, open-back jeans are only €51.35. 

Bargain.
