Crotch pocket trousers are now a thing and people are confused

We've all seen some weird fashion creations in our time.

That said, we can assure you that those invisible jeans and platform Crocs will seem quite normal when compared to 'crotch-pocket chinos'.

That's not their real name, a quick Google translate shows that they are in fact called Slim Tapered Trousers.

However, the title fails to mention one key sartorial detail: a penis-shaped pocket slap bang in the middle.

The recently discovered invention, made by Japanese company GU, which is owned by well-known fashion retailer Uniqlo, has confused a lot of people.

The main question being, what does the peen pocket do? Well, absolutely nothing. It's not even an actual pocket.

The only plausible benefit is that it draws attention to your manlhood, which is concealed behind it.

The garment also come in three hues: off white, beige and navy, each designed with its own stylish contrasting crotch creation.

If you're warming to the idea of the progressive trouser, you'll be pleased to know they are only 990 yen, which is just shy of £7.

And, people who have invested in the bold look seem to be very satisfied with their very unusual, very unnecessary, third pocket.

The style currently boasts a four star rating on the website and is now considered one of GU's signature products.
