MAFS Grooms: Fans Spot Unfortunate Trend!

Married At First Sight fans have clocked a bizarre trend among this season's male contestants - and it has nothing to do with their on-screen marriages.

This week, social media satirist Fashion Critical sent fans spiralling when she uploaded photos of several grooms wearing tight, stretchy trousers on the show.

The faux-pants, commonly referred to as jeggings, emerged as a fashion trend among the men of MAFS this year, with Filip Gregov even wearing a pair to propose to Stella Mickunaiten during Tuesday's show.

Other grooms who dabbled in the jeggings trend include David Momoh, Danny Hewitt and Scott McCristal.

'If there’s one word that encapsulates the men on this season of @mafs , it’s JEGGINGS,' Fashion Critical wrote, adding: 'Not quite pants; not quite leggings, 7/8ths length.'

Fans were quick to decry the skin-tight look, with one commenting: 'Who genuinely thinks this a good look?' as another added: 'Bloody awful'.

'Too. Many. Fashion. Crimes,' yet another user wrote, as someone else asked: 'Was skin tight pants a tick box on the application form?'

The revelation comes amid reports that this year’s MAFS cast are set to leave the experiment poorer than when they entered. 

According to new figures from National Accounts, this year's batch of budding influencers are set to be the lowest-earning cohort in MAFS history.

At the top of the list, Gia Fleur, who has been hit with the 'villain' edit this year, will see her earning potential top out at $1,548 per post.

With 88,800 followers at the time the data was gathered - though she now sits at 94,400 - the low end of her potential hits $1,267.

The disability support worker is followed closely by fellow bride Alissa Fay, who is looking at an earning range of $877 to $1,072 per post.

Luke Fourniotis left the Nine series during the third commitment ceremony after his relationship with Melissa Akbay fell apart.

However, he is still set to rake in a modicum of cash, with data suggesting he could net $691 to $846 per sponsored post.
