Gucci is selling jeans with fake grass stains on the knees. Yeah, you read that right. Remember those green stains you'd have on your clothes after playing outside all afternoon when you were a kid? Well, the same stains that drove our parents crazy are now trendy!

A controversial pair of grungy jeans
In making these £620 jeans (and £895 overalls), the brand wanted to explore a new take on denim, reinterpreting it with different designs and wash techniques that blur the line between vintage and contemporary.
If Gucci's goal was to stand out, it's safe to say they've succeeded. Since the release of these grass-stained jeans, social networks have been on fire. Many users commented that the jeans and overalls were sorely overpriced.
I'll just go roll in the grass for free!
