Weird denim trends are now almost a separate fashion category in themselves, thanks to the eyeball-grabbing tactics of various brands. Over the years, puzzled shoppers and unsuspecting netizens have been surprised with thong jeans, upside-down shorts and extreme cutout jeans, among other bizarre items. Adding to that list is Y/Project's "Denim Panties" - which is exactly what they sound like: underwear crafted out of denim.

The denim underwear, which retails for a cool $315 - or approximately Rs. 21,800 - took the Internet by storm over the weekend. On Twitter, many asked where they could be worn, while others wondered why they had to exist at all.
