This is how I imagine the conceptualization of these shorts occured: Topshop executive 1: Those shaggy sweaters did well for us, but we have this left over fabric.  What should we do with it? Topshop executive 2: What about pants? executive 1: No, we don’t have enough fabric for pants. executive 2: What about shorts.  It’s getting warm and no one is doing shaggy shorts. executive 1: That’s because shaggy shorts are crazy. executive 2: Just call it edgy and all the fashionistas will want to wear it. executive 1: Good idea, and have them add some scraps of old chiffon to get rid of that too. And that is the only rational way these monstrosities could have been created. Wool ruffle shorts, on sale for $50.00 from $100.00 at Topshop. View high resolution

Knit shark shorts, $60.00 at Topshop. Submitted by Erica.  Is it just me, or do those cartoon sharks look absolutely miserable?  Perhaps they are miserable because they know their destiny is to adorn crotches.  Topshop acknowledges that these are basically underwear by calling them “pants” (British for panties), but at the same time, they put them in the shorts section, meaning they are to be worn outside.

Acid wash denim sweatpants, $70.00 at Topman. Submitted by Kevin.  A few days ago, some friends showed me PajamaJeans. They were worried that this novelty lounge pant would make its way outdoors and be worn in public.  I laughed off their fears, thinking it could never happen.  Today, I received this submission and realized that I was very naive.

Pearl dot dress by KTZ, £200.00 at Topshop. Submitted by laughlikesilver, who described this dress as a lady bug meeting star wars and then morphing into a swimsuit. Interestingly, this isn’t available on the US Topshop website, so I am very grateful to the submitter because otherwise I would have completely missed this terrible creation. View high resolution
