The censoring is said to be linked to Kim Jong Un's regime's efforts to restrict Western fashion and culture in North Korea, NKNews reports.

Blue jeans are said to be a sign of the West, according to the outlet, and have been essentially banned since the 1990s.

... What the fuck? Do they only wear cargo pants or something?

Do you really not know any leg-wear besides jeans and cargo pants? Lol

What else are you gonna wear in a casual situation? Khakis, chinos? Most casual pants are made out of jeans material, blue no less.

Khakis and chinos look like pretty regular trousers without being jeans or cargo pants

And they're also more comfortable. As a jeans + t-shirt 99% of the time type of guy, I've been slowly phasing the jeans out as I'm buying more and more chinos and other types of "fancier" but more importantly more comfortable pants.

Is this some kind of joke or reference to something? Lol

Only time will tell my friend, but we all put pant on the same way: one leg time
