The sketch jokes that the pants can’t offend
anyone because they “have no style” and fit every body because “they fit no
body.”

There’s
been a lot of talk lately in the fashion industry about the influence of gender
non-conforming clothing. Stars like Evan Rachel Wood and Jaden Smith are
redefining conventional dressing on the red carpet. Designers are creating
gender-less collections with men and women both modeling the season’s latest
designs. And now there’s finally a pair of jeans that’s bending the gender
norms to new heights all thanks to Saturday Night Live‘s new Levi’s parody,
Woke Jeans.
In its new
sketch, the show’s cast (with host Ryan Gosling) all model the sizeless,
style-neutral, gender non-conforming denim made for a “generation that defies
labels.”
The
revolutionary pants have an exaggerated harem-style pant leg with a 180 degree
full crotch zipper that comes in the undeniably neutral color, #greb.
The sketch jokes that the pants can’t offend anyone
because they “have no style” and fit every body because “they fit no body.”
Gosling
hosted the SNL season 43 opener episode with musical guest JAY-Z, where he
reunited with La La Land costar Emma Stone during his monologue and couldn’t
keep a straight face during a sketch with Kate McKinnon. He was accompanied by
his wife Eva Mendes at the afterparty early Sunday morning.
If you have
any doubt that Woke Jeans could ever become a reality, just take a look at
SNL‘s other legendary denim sketch, Mom Jeans and all the celebs who are loving
the look today.
