Teddy Bear Pants Are the Latest Quirky Fashion Trend You Didn't Know You Needed
Fashion trends have always found a way to surprise us, but nothing could prepare the world for the emergence of teddy bear pants.
You read that right: pants covered in Beanie Baby-style stuffed bears. These statement pieces weigh in at five pounds and come equipped with four pockets, making them both a conversation starter and somewhat practical (if practicality is really on your mind while wearing stuffed-animal pants).
A Family Affair in Design
The brain behind these whimsical creations is designer Nazam, who brings familial warmth to the craft. Each pair of pants is hand-sewn by a team that includes none other than Nazam’s 79-year-old grandmother. Forget Build-A-Bear; this is fashion with a personal, hand-stitched touch.
Sitting Comfortably? Don’t Worry!
Before you ask the obvious question: how does one even sit in these fluffy pants? Rest assured, the stuffed animals are only sewn onto the front, so you won’t be balancing on plush toys during your daily routine.

Celebrities Are Loving the Look
Like many out-of-the-box fashion statements, teddy bear pants have caught the attention of the celeb crowd. Wrestler Jade Cargill, Thai actress Araya Alberta Hargate, and K-pop star BamBam have all rocked Nazam’s fuzzy bottoms. And no, they didn’t get these eccentric pieces for free.
The trend took off when DK Metcalf, wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks, strutted into a game day wearing a pair. The internet, predictably, went wild.
