Unconventionally Cut-Out Jeans

These High-Waisted Jeans from ASOS Boast an Unusual Back Detail

While there are many cut-out jeans that feature removed panels in unconventional places other than the knee or the length of the leg, ASOS recently released a pair of denim pants that boasts an illusory detail unlike any other.

From the front, the ASOS' High-Waisted Straight Leg Jeans may seem no different than any other pair of washed black jeans, as they feature a straight cut, a cropped fit and five pockets. But from the back, the design sets itself apart with a high-rise belted waist and an "open back" feature.

Aiming to challenge popular athleisure styles, many fashion designers are creating unconventional denim silhouettes that elevate the wardrobe staple from a piece of streetwear to a thought-provoking garment that breaks rules previously established in the world of fashion.
