The Internet is a treasure trove for many things and netizens often share videos, images, or memes that go viral in no time. Palazzo pants made of jute recently went viral on social media, capturing attention not only for its unusual material but also for the striking price. An Instagram user shared a video showing jute palazzo pants priced at Rs. 60,000 in a store. While the jute product is said to be sustainable, its unnecessarily high price and unappealing look have created a stir online, with users humorously questioning the value of the product and its fashion details.
Netizens react
The post has sparked a flurry of humorous comments, with users joking about the itchiness just from looking at them and questioning the fashion trend. Even Swiggy joined the conversation, playfully asking, "Will we get 5 kg of rice free with it?" A user wrote, "How to fool people? - Make it a fashion."
The viral video has garnered an impressive 1.2 million likes, 16.5K comments, and 4 million shares, with users humorously commenting, "Hamari bhes ka winter ka outfit inke pass kaise chala Gaya" (How did our winter clothing outfit end up with them?) and "Mere ghar pe isko bori bolte hai, isko ham Sardi pe cow par dalte hai taki usko thand na lge" (At my home, we call this a cow's blanket, used to keep them warm in winter).
Palazzo pants are highly appreciated for their comfort. The pants flowy and their lightweight, breathable fabric makes them ideal for casual wear. Despite the eco-friendly jute material, these pants seem to fall short in terms of comfort and beauty. The rough texture of jute and its high cost have led many to question its style and design. Netizens claim that they seem uncomfortable just by looking at them.
