- Makes me feel like my vagina's too long.
(laughing)

You might know me as the girl that has to wear
weird jeans outside.
This is too much.
Look at my pants, and tell me what you think of them.
My co-workers sent me a link to this new item.
Oh, my god.
This is probably the tiniest jeans I've ever seen.
If you're horrified that I'm about to wear these outside,
I guess you should be,
but this is not a miniskirt, it is a belt.
This is bad.
A high school girl who was into miniskirts,
but she just took it too far,
that's what it looks like.
In honor of New York Fashion Week,
I'm gonna wear this jean belt out.
It looks really stupid, no matter what you wear under it.
And I'm gonna see what the people of New York think,
because the people of New York know
whether things are cool, and they're gonna tell me.
Let's go.
We're out in New York City, and we're gonna find out
what people think of my jean belt.
What do you think of this?
- This, as in your short shorts?
- What is it, anyway, is it a skirt or a shirt?
I can't see the difference.
- I'm just really confused.
I don't know what's happening.
- You're damn right it is.
- It's pretty deceiving.
You also have pants and a sweater,
but somehow it still makes that part of my brain go,
wow, she just has those shorts on.
- So what's the point of this?
- How'd you put that on?
It's a shit-ton of buttons.
- They're button-fly, oh, no.
- Is it comfortable to you?
- No one's ever asked me that, so thank you for asking.
- You would expect it to have a crotch, at least.
- Yeah, it ends here.
- Oh right, yeah, it ends there, yeah,
so it's sort of strange.
- I wouldn't wear it on its own.
I'm into, you know, ripped denim,
so I'm okay with it.
- The way they're cut,
it looks like someone just sawed the pants off.
- Like I got, like, the bottom half of my body chopped off?
- Yeah.
- Did you make that?
- Would you believe I didn't?
I bought it.
(whimpering)
What piece of clothing do you think it is?
- Well, maybe a skirt, since it doesn't have a crotch?
- It's not a belt, either.
- It's rather unique.
It's maybe serving as a belt?
- That's it, that's exactly, it's advertised as a belt,
but no one, you're the first person to guess it.
It feels like it should be a miniskirt, but it's not.
- It is a belt, it's a big denim belt.
- No way. - Yeah!
- I would've ended at just the band.
- If you were marketing this, what would you call it?
- Minibelt, it reminds people of the miniskirt.
- So you combined miniskirt, belt, minibelt.
What would you, like, call these?
- A mistake?
- Super, super miniskirt?
- Puh, just the sound of a P,
'cause we're not even gonna fill the rest of the word pants.
- Why don't we invent a new name?
Shirt with a pant,
because I don't think you can wear only that.
- It's really in between, to even decide
to call it something.
- It's not a belt, it's not a skirt, it's like a birt?
- Nah, I wouldn't even give it a name.
- What celebrity do you think could pull these off?
- Oh, gosh.
- It's hideous, and the only person
who could make it look decent is Rihanna.
- Probably Rihanna.
- Rihanna.
- Rihanna can make anything look good.
- That's always the answer.
- 90's Jim Carrey, as like a funny goof.
- Britney Spears, when she wears the whole jeans,
with Justin Timberlake.
- Oh, wow!
- Tell her that she needs this skirt.
- You kinda fucked up 16 years ago,
you should've been wearing this?
- Yeah.
- Lady Gaga would probably wear it.
- Lady Gaga?
She likes trying on something new.
- She's worn much worse.
- I don't even know if she's around anymore,
but Paris Hilton?
- She just got engaged recently, I think.
- Oh.
- Demi Lovato?
I feel like she'd rock it.
- How much do you think I paid for this?
- You paid for this?
- It should be for free, because it's a bad idea for a belt.
- You wanna guess how much they cost?
- This is the depressing part of the video.
- Did you buy it like that?
- Yeah, I did.
- 30 bucks?
- I'm gonna guess 100?
- 20 dollars?
- I hope no more than five dollars?
- I'd probably bedazzle it, and ask for 50 bucks.
- Right now, it's 100, but in five years more,
if it's a trend, it will cost 499.
- It's crazy that you just said that,
because the amount it actually cost is 400 dollars.
- No it wasn't.
- Yes, it was. - Stop.
- Are you kidding me?
(laughter)
- 400, girl, do you know what?
You could've given that to me.
Do you know how much money I owe Sallie Mae?
- Wow, you are super good at designing and charging.
- Not so much like material, it's just like the design?
- I guess you can't buy a jean belt anywhere else?
How would you wear it?
- I wouldn't.
- So you would wear this.
- I don't know if I would go that far, but I don't hate it.
- Would you ever wear this?
It's not cool enough.
- It's rather confusing, it requires people wearing it
to be super confident.
- I would not wear these.
- Would you get them for your wife?
- Yes, I would.
- How do you think you would style it?
- If you got those, like, garter belt tights,
just that under that, and so you'd show some sexy cheeks.
- It can be used on the neck, too.
- I hadn't considered that.
So, like, a scarf type thing?
- Yeah, a new type of scarf.
- Maybe just make it a piece of lingerie and call it a day,
I don't know.
- Do you think this is gonna catch on?
- Honestly, I don't think so.
- Everything that comes from New York,
people is wearing that, I'm gonna wear it too.
If you tell hey, a Chilean,
give me the idea of a jean scarf,
it would probably rock in Chile.
- The people of New York have spoken,
and in general, they're confused by this.
This is marketed as a belt, but really,
it should be anything but a belt.
If you wear it around your shoulders,
then people are like, that's not supposed to go there,
and I like it.
Do you think this looks better?
It's kinda Virgin Mary-esque.
If you're gonna go for this, you gotta do something
a little more interesting with it than make it a belt.
That's what I learned.
When you take risks, take the risk all the way.
Don't half-ass it.
Because if you half-ass it, you end up with this.
(mid-tempo dance synth instrumental)
- [Sarah] So I'm wearing this in New York,
so definitely people are gonna start wearing it.
- [Chilean Man] Yeah, we're all gonna rock in Chile.
- [Sarah] Yeah, nice!
