  • On Wednesday, R13's "Double Back Shorts" caught the attention of TV host James Corden during a monologue for "The Late Late Show." 
  • The denim shorts appear to have a second pair of shorts sewn onto the back.
  • The unique item, which retails for $565, is available in a light-blue denim wash.
  • R13 also sells full-length "Double Back Jeans" with a similar design.


Finding the perfect summer shorts can be difficult, so if you're lucky enough to see a pair you like, you might as well buy two, right?

Luxury denim label R13 might have had something similar in mind when creating the "Double Back Shorts."

From the front, this pair of denim shorts looks like it has an asymmetrical hemline that hangs much lower in the back. But turn around, and you'll see what looks like a second pair, in a lighter wash of denim, sewn onto the back.

The unique item recently caught the internet's attention after TV host James Corden featured the design during a segment of "The Late Late Show" on Tuesday, Teen Vogue reported.

Retailing for $565, these shorts don't come cheap. But for fans of the look, here's some good news: R13 also sells the double-denim design in a full-length jeans option, so you can rock the style all year long.

And R13 isn't the only brand that's offering some unconventional denim looks. In June, Bless released jeans with a see-through mesh panel on the side. That same month, Cie Denim went viral for its upside-down shorts. And in July, ASOS began selling jeans with completely exposed thighs.

R13 did not immediately reply to INSIDER's request for comment.
