I work high end retail, so I see crazy shit all the time. My brand's direction this season plays with the idea of layering clothing and creating the illusion of hastily draped outerwear. These pants are almost there but the execution is awful.
I do. Multiple in fact. But to be fair, my company gives them to me for free. The jeans I'm wearing right now are $600.

"unwashed masses get angry at expensive clothes" is definitely my fave genre of outrage

Oh, wow. Those are approaching Kriss Kross/JNCO levels of ugly and stupid.
I've seen BttF several times and never fucking noticed they have on 2 fucking ties.

Not gunna lie, i forgot about the wallet thing when I posted that.
There used to be a person who regularly made threads asking for GAFs advice on awful, ridiculously priced clothes kinda like this. I always enjoyed those threads.
Um... fuck yes?

2. Ridiculous price.

Not jeans, but I have $200 hiking tights. Not $700, but they're the most expensive piece of clothing I currently own.
Edit: as long as they look great and are functional, I'd definitely pay $700 for a pair of pants. The pants in the OP are definitely something I wouldn't waste any money one.
It's only going to get worse as the middle erodes and income stratification gets more severe.
I'm reminded of the people in sanfran who were assaulted for wearing a pair of Google glasses due to gentrification anxiety, and honestly kind of worried that that type of class warfare is going to become more and more common as class consciousness starts becoming more and more a driving factor in political activism and violence in the coming years as automation starts reshaping large swaths of the economy wholesale. Especially in countries like the US that are ideologically antithetical to social welfare and has more guns than people do I see the violence becoming potentially most severe.

Yeah, I think the effect would come across better with the shirt untucked / on top of the pants.

Yup. Have you seen the stuff that's posted in the Men's Fashion thread? It's all expensive as hell. $700 dollar jeans? Maybe that's stretching it, but I'm willing to bet some have come pretty close. I was out of there clutching my wallet for dear life after about 5 minutes. Lol.

More people need to mention the $350 wallet.
Even ignoring the gimmicky concept, those jeans are just ugly, are ill-fitting close really that fashionable?
Well there was this dude who owned that ridiculously expensive regular cellphone that had valet service included and was gold plated or something so I wouldn't be surprised.

If I have a designer wallet around that much, should I feel ashamed? :[

Think of all the avocado toast you could buy if you didn't buy $700 pants.
