If you thought 2018 would be safe from questionable denim trends [1], think again. After clear-knee mom jeans [2] and clear plastic jeans [3], Topshop recently came out with yet another contentious piece of merchandise: the MOTO "Fake News" Slogan Straight Leg Jeans. According to the site's description, these pants will help you "make a statement," and you'll be able to do so for a mere $90.
While we assume that the vertical stripe is taking a jab at the President's favorite phrase (it wouldn't be the first time it happened [4]), some Twitter users have expressed concern over the fact that these slogans are being normalized and used to sell clothes. Read on to have a closer look at the jeans, and discover what people are saying about them on social media.
