We tend to hate anything the words "paper bag" can be attached to. Except actual paper bags, obviously. They're free to call themselves that, with our blessing.
These shorts don't even LOOK like "paper bags" to us, though. No, these have a different problem altogether, because when we look at them we don't see "cute shorts": we see "OMG, I had a total bathroom emergency, ruined what I was wearing and was forced to quickly fashion myself a new pair of pants out of toilet tissue."
And once we've seen it, it can't be unseen.
These are by Thakoon and are $425 at Shopbop. Click here to buy them.

At least they’re made of cotton…
In this style they do remind me of diapers – or these granny-style underpants women used to wear centuries ago. But I do like the waisband, maybe this could look good with a ‘normal’ leg attached to it.
The price is completely unjustified. They look like shorts that can only be worn to bed.
Those shorts really are awful.
But, on a positive note, I love the shoes.
They remind me of the dress Ariel makes for herself out of an old ship sail in the little mermaid…
Ah, they’re conforming to the peep-toe rule!
What could you possibly wear with those shorts? i actually like the direction they were going in, but seriously? I also love the shoes!
