Online retailer Pretty Little Thing is currently selling "Mid Wash Denim Knickers," and they take the meaning of short shorts to a whole new level.

Normally priced at £15 ($19), the denim thong shorts are now on sale for £5 ($6). And though it was originally available in seven sizes, the item is currently only available in UK sizes 4 to 12 (US sizes 0 to 8).

For those who aren't fans of traditional jeans, the shorts are also sold in black and white.

Considering denim's long-lasting status as a fashion staple, it's no surprise that the style of jeans has changed drastically over the years.

In fact, the release of these thong shorts has arrived at a time when wild denim looks are taking over the fashion industry. This year alone has seen the release of jean shorts with another pair sewn onto the back, and pants with cutouts that reveal your thighs, to name just a few.

Out-of-the-box denim looks may not be for everyone, but there's certainly a market for the growing trend. According to Pretty Little Thing's website, the thong shorts are among its "most wanted" items at the time of this post.

A representative for Pretty Little Thing did not immediately reply to INSIDER's request for comment.
