In 2017, we’ve been blessed with an array of viral fashion products. From the RompHim (a romper for men) to the one-piece swimsuit emblazoned with Donald Trump‘s shocked face to clear plastic jeans and the $2,145 Balenciaga shopper bag inspired by Ikea’s $0.99 tote, there has been a number of shocking, baffling and oftentimes controversial fashion items causing Internet outrage.
Most recently, Twitter broke into a frenzy over “thong jeans” (photo below), which were first featured on the runway at Tokyo-based designer Thibau’s fashion show during Amazon Fashion Week Tokyo.

So now, in response to the Internet’s latest viral fashion trend, Yandy created a near-identical version of Thibau’s design (which can be yours for $59.95) featuring a long sleeved nude bodysuit and the infamous tattered jeans that leave little to the imagination.
