 The Fashion Police hold these truths to be self-evident:
1. That no one’s flesh looks good pooling out of multiple holes in the fabric of their clothes. No, not even models.
2. That “creatively” ripped jeans always end up looking like you left your clothes in the care of a particularly malicious teenager with a pair of scissors.
3. That these will create some pretty interesting tan lines if you wear them in summer. In winter, welcome to pale blue, mottled flesh. Lovely.
The Fashion Police are starting to feel increasingly alone in this, however, and Tripp NYC in particular seem hell-bent on proving to us that if they make ugly jeans, people will buy them. If you’re one of those people, these are $48 from Karmaloop.

Oh no! Look, this poor model – she must’ve fallen asleep on the job or something, and “hilarious” pranksters have snuck up on her and signed her white skinny jeans, as if they were plaster casts! If only The Fashion Police had been in the area at the time, we could’ve caught these fashion criminals in the act, but don’t worry, at least we’ll be able to read their names and track them down. Now, let’s see: Elle… Cindy… Heidi…Milla…Kate…Tyra… OMG! Supermodels have defaced these jeans! Supermodels who should know better, and show some respect for clothes! We’re horrified.
Would you wear these jeans? Bearing in mind that we totally made up the above scenario and the jeans are actually made with the signatures printed on them? We can’t help but feel that walking around with supermodel names on our thighs would just be like issuing an invitation to people to compare said thighs with Cindy, Kate, Elle, et al : and, of course, it would also be an invitation to people to walk up to you and say, “Oh my God, someone’s written all over your jeans!”
But what do you think, readers? Fashion crime? Cool way to show how much you love the supers? Tell us!

These jeans make us want to sneak up behind the person wearing them and gently unzip the legs before running away. In fact, we think that’s how the force might just deal with this one -let the punishment fit the crime, we say, and these aren’t quite ugly enough for a stint in the fashion jail.
Or are they?

Yeah, OK, fashion designers, the joke’s over: all of this 80s-inspired crap we’ve been putting up with for the past few years has GOT TO STOP. Especially now that a batwing denim jacket has been allowed to come into existence. Seriously, a BATWING DENIM JACKET. They wouldn’t even have allowed that in the actual 80s, never mind these pseudo 80s we’re living through now.
Oh, and while we’re on the subject of the 80s:
Now, the pink cropped sweater is… not our kinda thing, granted. But holy crap, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SHE’S WEARING WITH IT? Is that an acid-wash diaper? Because it sure looks like one:
*Shudder* Guess we know what our nightmares will be about tonight, then…

It’s been a few months now since the word “jeggings” first appeared on the Fashion Police radar, and since then, the leggings-that-look-like-jeans have become as ubiquitous as skinny jeans were this time last year. Which is fitting, really, given the resemblance between the two.
(For the uninitiated, “jeggings” are leggings that look like jeans, with a denim-like appearance, and “treggings” are leggings that look like trousers – i.e. they generally have pockets and a zip.)
When the jeggings and treggings first began to infiltrate the fashion world, we weren’t quite sure about them. We thought they could be a fashion crime waiting to happen, basically, but now that they actually walk among us, and are basically just super-skinny jeans and, er, leggings with pockets, we don’t think the situation is as bad as we first feared, and actually, as long as the normal rules of legging-engagement are observed (i.e. LEGGINGS ARE NOT PANTS), we don’t really mind them.
What about you, though? Do you love jeggings and treggings? Or do they have you reaching for the eyeball bleach?

 Are you still wearing jeans that are made from only one fabric? Denim, say? Well, you are SO behind the times, sister! Nowadays all jeans have to contain AT LEAST two different fabrics, and this is by decree of the fashion Gods.
We showed you one example of this “trend” yesterday, with Siwy’s “jeans and nylons” creation, and now here’s another, this time from Mango, who’ve mated denim and leather. We like this example a little more than the Siwy jeans, purely because at least we know we wouldn’t ladder these ones while we were putting them on, but we still think the effect is a little cheap: perhaps unsurprisingly, given that these are £42, and clearly not real leather. Would you wear them?

At first glance, we thought this was your common-or-garden case of “tights gone wild”. Damn, we thought, it’s yet ANOTHER pair of those kerrazy mad tights that everyone seems to love so much right now!
Then we took a closer look and… they’re jeans. With a mesh panel on each leg. So, a jeans/tights hybrid, basically. And this just boggles our minds because, seriously, can you even imagine laddering your JEANS? Your $242 jeans? Because we can. Just one enthusiastic welcome home from the police dog, and those bad boys would be shredded.
The sad thing is that in the current fashion climate, that would probably only make people want them more.

Hot on the heels of Lindsay Lohan's padded knee leggings (a look that never really did catch on, did it?), Acne have decided to go one step further in the "reinforced knee" world, with these armour-plated skinnies, which will be part of their Spring 2010 collection. We can hardly wait.
Presumably designed for the girl who REALLY spends a lot of time on her knees, there's no word yet on how much these will retail for, but we'll try and update you nearer the time. Maybe.
Thanks to Theresa for the report!

… you get Sivvy's 'Sophie' cropped skinny jeans, $242 at Shopbop.
Unlike our old friend jeggings, which are merely leggings PRETENDING to be jeans (Impostor Alert! Impostor Alert!), these are an actual hybrid: skinny jeans with a jersey insert. Which is… an idea. And if you're someone who has difficulty making your mind up in the morning ("Jeans or leggings?" So much choice!") you may even think it's a pretty good idea at that.
Do you, though? Would you pay $243 to find out what it's like at that border where jeans and leggings meet? Or does the photo tell you all you need to know?

It's sometimes quite embarrassing to see what designers will do to try and evade Fashion Police arrest. Miss Sixty, for instance, thought that by describing these jeans of theirs as "carrot fit", we somehow wouldn't notice the glaringly ugly drop-crotch on them. But we see the drop-crotch. Oh, we see it. Well, we could hardly miss it, given that it's roughly the size of Canada, could we?
This model is just glad she didn't have to run for a bus while she was wearing these: we may be wrong, but they just don't look like they'd allow you a whole lot of freedom, do they? Still, at least they make her butt look goo… Oh no, wait. Our mistake.
If you love them, they're £110 and available from ASOS.
