Man, look…
Never would we want to stifle creativity or body positivity. Let’s just get that out in the open. But whew…Fashion Nova is really toeing a super thin line between liberation and all-out chaos with their “Havana Nights Cut Out Pant.” Usually, assless chaps give us business in the front to keep up illusions, but these pants are a party in the front and back. Now, we appreciate a good pair of assless chaps — Christina Aguilera did it as her alter ego, “Xtina,” Prince was all about that chap life, and you can’t turn a corner at many Pride events without being ambushed by a bum or two. We’re just wondering who is so invested in upping their thotfit game that they would wear a pair of assless and crotchless pants? That’s owning your steez, right there, and we’re not even mad — we’re impressed!
Fashion Nova owes much of its success to social media, first starting with Instagram posts of women’s apparel that influencers and celebrities would rock as alternatives to expensive brand names, then expanding to include a men’s line (which was highly disappointing). Social media is spreading the word again, and the good folks on Twitter are split (pun very much intended) on their opinion of these risque pants. But no matter if they love or hate them, everyone is getting their jokes off.

The booty game isn’t new for the popular urban wear brand, as their first round of assless chaps debuted last year, and then a swimsuit cover-up in the same style emerged. Perhaps they were trying to ease us into the idea, but Twitter has been abuzz since the first pairs came out.

Ok I know we’re all concerned about low rise jeans coming back but I think we might need to worry about fashion nova trying to make assless chaps a thing pic.twitter.com/jMTC9IUhLl

These offer stark contrast to many of the clothes we’ve seen from Cardi B’s wildly popular Fashion Nova line, and it’s yet to be seen whether or not these sell out as quickly. We just want to know where this energy was with their men’s line, and we apparently are not the only ones. Come on, Fashion Nova, men need to thot it out, too.
