Every once in a while, you have to ignore all of your friends’ warnings and sage advice and follow your heart. Sometimes this leads to dating a real jerk. Other times, it leads to the acquistion of amazing, but challenging item of clothing.
Take, for instance, these “banana” khaki-colored, high-waisted, tapered, puffy jeans from Acne. These are the kind of jeans your friends would never advise you to purchase.
OK, so they don’t promise to flatter.
And you can’t wear them with everything. But if you really think about it, the rolled bottom part is so “The Sartorialist,” and they’re guaranteed to be more comfy than your high-waisted skinny jeans.
So maybe love can conquer all. These are our new favorite jeans…

I really love this blog. Funny. Irreverent. Creative. But sometimes when you run pieces like this I want to hide my head in shame. Seriously these have to be the ugliest most unflattering pants ever made. Would not be surprised if those wily swedes at Acne came up with this so that they could laugh haughtily at their cultural influence while hordes of undiscerning brooklyn hipsters wear them in all seriousness.
They are clown pants. CLOWN PANTS.

If I were to buy some uber-trendy pants that I probably wouldn’t wear after this season, I’d choose these over superhigh-waisted jeans any day. But I’d only pay an H&M; price.

p.s. Lulu, the Sartorialist posted a pic of a Swede wearing those pants a few days ago. I think part of the point is that they are ridiculous. You couldn’t wear pants like that without a certain amount of self-effacing whimsy.

I saw a model in Los Angeles wearing the Marc version (http://www.style.com/fashionshows/collections/S2007RTW/complete/thumb/MJACOBS)
and I have to say they looked amazing. But Marc’s are a much thinner fabric so they deflate a bit down the leg – these look stiff and beg to be mocked.

Miriam is right on with this. Dressing fresh is rooted in strutting solo with aplomb but knowing the that you might get clowned, especially with those Acne pants. On the flip side, falling in line with this trend of high-waisted pants is gonna make for a frumpy fall. They make most women over a 4 look like soccer moms from Milwaukee. Don’t drink the Kool-Aid.

Is this the pick from The Sartorialist you were speaking of?
