An influencer has been slammed for wearing a pair of jeans intentionally designed to appear dirty.
In the Reddit forum r/NYCinfluencersnark, users are tearing apart an influencer for wearing distressed jeans resembling 'poop pants' with a matching jacket.
The Super Baggy Jeans, donned by influencer Tao (@taontm), retail at Acne studios for $800, while the matching jacket retails for $700.
The wide-leg, light-wash jeans were streaked with sandy discoloration throughout, giving the impression that the influencer had a close encounter with dirt just moments before heading out.
According to the brand's website, these ultra-wide-leg jeans boast 'fading and smudging throughout'—perfect for nailing that unexpected construction-worker-chic aesthetic.
Users did not hold back their disdain for the influencer's outfit choice.
'My toddlers pants after playing in dirt at the park,' commented a user.
'I hate this cosplay,' said another.

'I'd be so embarrassed,' chimed a third.
'Unpopular opinion in this thread but I love them!' said one user in favor of the jeans.
Meanwhile on Tao's post on Instagram, the comments were flooded with praise, most of the remarks consisting of heart-eyed emojis.
This isn't the first time a celebrity has flaunted a faux-dirty look in public.
Jennifer Lopez has been spotted several times rocking the controversial 'dirty denim' trend—a polarizing Y2K fashion revival making its way back into the spotlight.
The jeans from the Swedish fashion house caused a stir upon their 2023 release, fueled by a campaign featuring Kylie Jenner caked in mud.
Founded by Jonny Johansson in 1996 with a debut collection of just 100 pairs of jeans, denim has remained a central element of Acne Studios' identity throughout its evolution.
'Denim is one of those rebellious but practical materials that is always attractive to me,' Johansson told Vogue Scandinavia.

'It's also a very sustainable material in the sense that you end up wearing it again and again for years. I think of denim as the axle for everything else in your wardrobe – all your other clothes revolve around denim. It's an endlessly important material that I love to reinvent every season.'
Meanwhile, Kylie Jenner has fully embraced her role as an Acne Studios muse.
Recently attending the brand's Spring/Summer 2023 show in Paris and frequently incorporating their pieces into her wardrobe, Jenner has cemented her connection with the label.
'I am a fan of the brand and I've worn their product over the past few years,' Jenner said in a press release.
'This campaign is one of my favourites. I loved working with Carlijn and I love the simplicity of the images, they have strength in their directness.'
The collection itself is packed with seasonal denim washes designed to look aged and lived-in.
The ultra-oversized, unisex silhouette comes in a range of vintage-inspired finishes, including the distressed 'Penicillin' wash and a sleek, waxy 'oil-coated' look.
