High-waisted pants are a polarizing topic. Very few people stand in the middle of this debate; you either LOVE them or you think they are the most unflattering thing since nude spandex unitards. Whichever side of the pants-fence you're on, I'm pretty sure these babies will throw your whole ideology for a loop. Like, what ARE these? Are they pants? Are they a romper? Are they a mistake turned into a golden opportunity? Are they a prank? I HAVE NO IDEA.

What do you think of these...whatever they are?
