I've found a good starting link for strange #fashion aliexpress again.

@futurebird Grommet shorts, or as I like to call them, grorts

[p__x@mastodon.social]

@futurebird this one's the real gem here:

[futurebird@sauropods.win]

@P__X

Oh dear.

[geckzilla@scicomm.xyz]

@futurebird I just want to know if it comes with the dragon tail, but it doesn't say https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256811816955011.html

[futurebird@sauropods.win]

@geckzilla

Yes that would be the dealbreaker for most people.

[ryanjyoder@techhub.social]

@futurebird
This is a part of the Internet I'm unfamiliar with. Is this ai generated stuff?

[futurebird@sauropods.win]

@ryanjyoder

No. These are very real products.

[drhyde@fosstodon.org]

@futurebird @nazokiyoubinbou fairly sure those are both just rip-offs of one of my cousin's designs. She trades as Jed Phoenix Of London

@futurebird
Followed a few links and came across these Daisy Duke shorts converted into a skirt

[fembot@mstdn.social]

@futurebird kind of a stevie nicks vibe happening

[futurebird@sauropods.win]

@crenquis

OK I may have worn something like this in the late 90s thank god no one ever scanned those photos.

[bri7@social.treehouse.systems]

@futurebird is that leiderhosen?

[abyssalrook@mstdn.social]

@futurebird There's a LOT of Michael Jackson stuff that's coming up in the 'related products' section. Including a sweater that's been absolutely murdered with sequins. .....I think this might be his glove from his Superbowl outfit. .........As shorts.

[bri7@social.treehouse.systems]

@futurebird no no wait

someone asked for “lacey shorts” and took it the wrong way

[fembot@mstdn.social]

@futurebird My husband thinks those shorts look like they were made from surplus duffle bags

[crenquis@mstdn.io]

@futurebird
Was thinking the same

[fembot@mstdn.social]

@StellaFoxxie @futurebird

[futurebird@sauropods.win]

@StellaFoxxie

We can add these to the outfit.

[stellafoxxie@oldbytes.space]

@futurebird YES

[timtfj@mastodon.social]

@bri7 @futurebird My German isn't very good, but I think that would mean something like "unfortunately trousers", so maybe

(Leider = unfortunately, Leder = leather)
