Yet another divisive fashion trend is making the rounds on social media.

The Coperni One-Leg Denim Trouser — which is one-half bootcut jeans and one half jean shorts — is ruffling feathers for its controversial design as well as the $440 price tag. On the brand’s website, the jeans are described as “a radical departure from tradition.”

The product description reads, “Designed with a high waist, the shape fuses beachy shorts with a single-leg bootcut silhouette, marking a radical departure from tradition. Created by pushing the boundaries of classic Coperni denim styles to new dimensions.” The pants also come as a black trouser priced at $570.

A TikTok user by the name of Kristy Sarah tried on the jeans for her 16 million followers in a video shared on Feb. 25. She starts the video holding up the item and saying, “As soon as I saw these, I knew I had to get my hands on them.” After trying them on she claims she is “actually obsessed” with them.

“You get the air flow here, and you keep warm here,” she explains to her husband in the background, who is dumbfounded by the design.

“Nobody wearing that,” he says later in the clip.

Creator Danielle Pheloung also tried out the unusual item. “I, like, can’t take myself seriously in these,” she says while wearing the design. She later declares they’re “iconic” after styling them with a silver tank and silver accessories.

“These jeans are my new obsession,” she captioned the post.

Many of Pheloung’s followers weren’t in agreement. “Absoslutely awful no,” one user wrote.

Another shared, “Is this a joke.”

A third said, “They discounted since only half jeans?”

Others, however, were on board with the style.

“Why do I kinda like it… ” one user wrote.

Another said, “I feel like this could be fun with a knee high boot.”

“I kinda love them, the comments hurt my feelings a little,” a third shared.

Coperni is known for its controversial styles like the Hybrid Flare Denim Trousers, which feature black jersey material at the top and fall into a loose denim with a buckle around the knee. The pants come in regular denim and black denim and retail for $1,070.
