A woman who tried on a pair of ASOS Design fluffy wide-leg trousers was left questioning where anyone would wear them, joking that the items were going straight back.
Bex Fountain, who shares fashion and motherhood content online, ordered the trousers after repeatedly seeing a targeted ad for them. Once she pulled them on, she was left gobsmacked, joking that people were "not ready" for what they looked like.
The ASOS Design fluffy wide-leg trousers
The trousers, described as the ASOS Design 'fluffy wide-leg trousers in chocolate,' are priced at £34 and are also available in plus size in a burgundy colourway. The clip circulating online shows the vibe they give off is less glamorous and more Gruffalo, yet Bex had to see for herself.
Upon laying eyes on them, she asked, "Where are we wearing these?" and quipped, "ASOS, are you okay, hun?" She said: "So I had to order them and try them on because I'm just flabbergasted, to be honest. Are we ready?"
As she stepped back, her furry-looking legs came into view as she wiggled about in them, still questioning: "Where are we going in these? Because it's been Halloween, so I'm not quite understanding."
Reaction to the furry look
She also noted that her floor was "absolutely covered" in the tiny fibres, remarking that it looked like she "hadn't shaved in about two years." The only redeeming quality she could find was that "they do feel quite nice," describing the sensation as "having a dog for legs."
"They do them in black, and I do think some people could style the black really well, but it's the brown though...Like, are we going for Mr Tumnus from Narnia vibes?" she questioned, unconvinced this was a look she'd feel bold enough to pull off.
Wrapping up her video, she quipped: "I think my ASOS return rate will be going up, because these are going straight back."
What the internet made of the trousers
One woman commented: "Big Foot aesthetic," while others chimed in about the resemblance to Mr Tumnus's legs. Mr Tumnus is a faun, a mythological creature from Roman mythology that has the upper body of a human and the lower body, legs, and cloven hooves of a goat.
Another user wrote: "You know those animatronic woolly mammoths you sometimes get in zoos that look terrifying because all the fur has got wet and rotted away over the years...that would be these after one rainy day out." A third joked: "I personally think they'd have slayed with a matching jacket" while a fourth remarked: "It's giving Afghan hound."
Nevertheless, some rallied behind Bex's trousers, with one commenter noting: "These are wild, but they don't look as bad as I thought!" ASOS has been approached for comment.
