This reference may not resonate with a lot of people, but since I'm a huge fan of
Rhoda, the 1970s sitcom spin-off of
The Mary Tyler Moore Show, I'm very aware of the horror that was Brenda Morgenstern's pants. Brenda, Rhoda's younger sister, was supposed to be a frumpy dumpy sad sack so she was contractually obligated to wear really awful, over-sized print pants at least once per episode. Despite her pants, I thought Brenda was awesome and super funny.
Forever 21 and Free People appear to be Brenda fans too. Only, they like the pants a lot more than I do. At least Forever 21 is keeping their ugly pants (

right) believe theirs to be worth $98. I've seen them pop up at other stores too, but they appear to be sold out.

I actually love a good wide leg pant, so I suppose some wide leg print pants could look quite cool with savvy styling, but I'd argue these are quite beyond help. What say you?
