In the never-ending cycle of the fashion world, designers try a multitude of new looks in the hope that they stick, or at least ring a bell with a specific crowd. It seems that fashion trends tend to change every 5 minutes.
Sometimes, though, in the hopes of finding the next best thing, they overlook potential design flaws or come up with ideas that are just “too out there.” These hilarious fashion design fails are at least worth a good laugh.
1) Is There Really Any Point?
While there is definitely a fashion element to this outfit, it is not very practical. You definitely can’t swim in it. It also looks like walking might be difficult at best.
2) Not So Dope
This Reddit user was in for quite the surprise when his wife didn’t understand Kevin Hart’s taste in T-shirts. She asked him why he was wearing a shirt that had PEDO written all over it. Why, indeed.
3) Short Legs
This outfit makes her legs look SO short. Who on earth approved this look? They must have been fired.
4) Lace
Watch out ladies; there are guys out there with lace outfits. Not even kidding. Though, chances are these guys don’t really care what the ladies think.
5) Miss The Watermark
This dress in Pakistan looks so cute. That is, until you notice the flaw. The print still has a Shutterstock watermark on it!
6) Plastic Pants
It just seems like these would get sweaty. To top it off, these pants leave little to the imagination. You might as well not wear them at all.
7) Shirt Pockets Gone Wrong
Those don’t look like pockets. Come on, really? Did she really make it all the way to the set without anyone telling her?
8) Sandal-Boots
There’s so much wrong with this, I don’t even know where to begin. Talk about shoe wear with an identity crisis. These are definitely not practical on the farm.
9) Removable Jean Legs
Convertible pants, anyone? Did we mention that they’re denim? Let the denim abuse begin!
10) Here Comes The …
This shirt is NOT appropriate! The bewildered Reddit user shares, “My friend’s sister got this at a jump rope camp. It’s supposed to say rope.”
11) Not So Cool
These Star Wars socks looked super cool … until he put them on. Now all he sees when he looks at his socks is an old lady in a bathing suit. At least they look cool coming toward you.
12) Suspender Sweats
Rihanna designed these interesting sweats. I think she’s just abusing her power and fame to mess with us at this point. Or maybe her fashion sense is just way off with this creation.
13) This Shirt
This just isn’t that woman’s day. It’s hard to tell if this is a part of her outfit or not. Is this a rocket ship or a…?
14) Shoulderless Jacket
So, it’s a jacket that doesn’t keep you warm? Just imagine what a colorful sweater would look like with this monstrosity. Poor denim didn’t even know what was coming.
15) Okay …
I’m really not sure what’s happening here. It’s like one of those spam Websites that don’t quite make sense when you read the text. Maybe it’s some kind of weird code?
16) Pant-Overalls
What on God’s green earth is happening here? It’s like someone said, “Let’s just add some straps to this large pair of old oversize pants. Now, I’ll wear them. No one should notice.”
17) Not Smooth
It looks like her body is a weird shape. Maybe she has to use the restroom? I hope there’s one close by.
18) Dirty Jeans
Want to look like you’ve been rolling around in the mud all day? For just $425 you can! Fun fact? These are actually sold out right now.
19) Not Quite
You’re doing it wrong. Must be someone’s idea of a dream team. At least Spidey and Batman know what they are doing, but the Avatar guy seems a little out of his element.
20) No Pockets
Because nothing is more attractive than having your love handles exposed. Look ma, no pockets! Hopefully, the back pockets are still there.
21) Cliffhanger Shoes
You’ve got to be kidding me with these, right? Hello, no arch support. Your toes must be thanking you at about this point.
22) Irony
Is this some kind of Johnny Cash support phrase? Or it is a rebellion against wearing only black. Good thing you only wear black.
23) I Heart …
Nice to see she is so supportive of some of her fellow women. Her term for them is a little derogatory, but still, so supportive. Really, someone should have told her.
24) Denim Disaster
Really, can these even be called pants? More like denim leggings held up by suspenders. Leave denim alone already!
25) Stiletto-Socks
That’s right — the sock comes attached to the heels. P.S. They are $1,190. Now if they just had some for men’s sandals they would make a killing.
26) This Isn’t What it Seems
Alright. Take your mind out of the gutter. This shirt wearer is just saying he really loves Beijing … I think.
27) Uggs Gone Bad
It happened — two of the ugliest kinds of shoes have made a love child. And it’s awful. Some would say it’s the best of both worlds. The bigger question is do you wear them during the winter or summer?
28) Bar Fight
This outfit is for the sports fan with multiple teams in the same area. It seems like this could cause a scuffle at a bar. But, who knows, they could always tie.
29) Woah
This is … um … okay. What is this even about? Choking someone, taking care of the kids, sex, or something even stranger?
30) Tie-Die Fail
Fail to the max. Actually, that looks kind of nasty. She probably gets a lot of double takes.
31) Muddy Jacket
Nordstrom strikes again! To match your jeans, of course. What is up with all the dirty clothes?
32) Eye See You
This simply isn’t a good idea. What even is it? Is it two people kissing? I even see a puppy in there somewhere.
33) Flower Pants
That flower is placed in just the wrong spot. And it’s so red. I think a better color choice is in order.
34) See-Through
For the person who really wants to show off what they are wearing, even down to their underwear. The outfit even has long sleeves and a turtle neck making it easier to wear outside. Seems practical.
35) Curtains
It’s like she was trying to put on a tutu, it got stuck, then she decided to just roll with it. That or she grabbed the valance off of her curtain rod and decided to wear it.
36) Minions
The eye placement on this bikini top is just wrong. What look was she even going for with this? I bet that’s the last time she buys a Minions bikini.
37) Bikini-Pajamas
It’s like a bikini top on the outside of pajamas. Is she sleeping or swimming? I guess some people might take a nap poolside, making this outfit perfect.
38) Almost Got It
I mean, who’s really counting? Either they can’t spell or they can’t count, maybe both. Then again, it could be for someone named Thirteen who wears the number 12.
39) Denim Disaster
Poor denim, abused in so many ways. I mean, what did denim ever do to you? Where does the denim madness end?!
40) Print Error
Apparently Dickies is changing their label. It sounds like someone at the Dickies factory is having too much fun. Curious to know how many pairs of these are floating around out there. Definitely not for men with low self esteem.
41) Frilly Knees
Can we not make frilly knee pads a thing? Who even thinks of these things? Definitely someone who likes tutus.
42) Ripped Denim
You’ve heard of the ripped jean look, but these take it a step too far. Okay, several steps too far. As hard as it is to believe, these bad boys actually go for $168.
43) Indecent Exposure
This is taking the “off-the-shoulder” thing way too far. This whole getup is a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. Hopefully, she is wearing a strapless bra underneath.
44) Mis-Labeled
No, those definitely aren’t watermelons. But they are a fruit. Maybe the designer was going for a bit of irony.
45) I Love Ugly
You can buy it from a Website called “I Love Ugly.” A site for the lover of ugly and particularly clothing. I’d hate to see the matching pants, maybe the ripped jeans from before?
46) Um?
These Olympic uniforms are … inappropriate. This definitely wasn’t the intended goal of the design. At least, I hope not.
47) Clasps
If this isn’t the creepiest thing you’ve ever seen, I don’t know what is. For those who want that “patiently biding your time” look. Pass!
48) Silhouette Contour
Some clothing is designed to make the body look slimmer. This attempt, however, was a total fail. What is going on here?
49) No Frills
Name the event or situation in which you would wear these. They look great coming toward someone, but just turn around and watch the questioning stares. Did they simply run out of material?
50) Wedding Disaster
Would you wear this dress on your wedding day? I sure wouldn’t. I mean, look at that center chiffon piece.
51) Bad Prom Dress Design
I’m not sure if wearing this dross to prom is the best idea. First off, teenagers can be mean and it could result in some serious teasing. Second, did the designer really not notice this serious innuendo?
52) Not Really Kid-Friendly
This mom probably should have told her daughter to wear her backpack over just one shoulder if she’s going to wear that shirt. Otherwise, it sends off a very different message than the simple “hello” it was going for.
53) Newly Discovered Dinosaur Species
Wow! We’ve never seen a dinosaur like this one before. Only two legs and its head shoots right out from its knees. How does it keep its balance with all that weight in the back-end?
54) At First Glance, That Doesn’t Look Comfy
From the front, this dress is quite adorable and flattering. From the back, it’s a different story. The top half is lovely but the bottom half looks like she has a serious wedgie.
55) Maybe Should Have Changed The Font Size?
Things take a dark turn on this shirt right after rafting. Whoever was supposed to proofread this before production should have maybe considered changing the font size on the word “rapel.”
56) Literally The Exact Opposite
Hmm…nope, that’s actually not correct at all. In fact, anchors do the exact opposite of what this shirt says. Was it supposed to be ironic? Or did someone just completely miss the boat here? (See what I did there?)
57) I’m Sorry, What?
What exactly does this mean? It seems like it was supposed to go on a onesie for a newborn baby, but even then – that’s still strange, right? The fact that what looks like a 10-year-old girl is wearing it is even stranger.
58) There Appears To Be One, Sir
We know what he was going for with this political shirt but it doesn’t really end up working out. It’s saying there is no other choice when it’s literally listed as another choice.
59) Where Is That Located, Exactly?
Now, we’ve heard of the beautiful city of London but we haven’t heard of Lodn No before. Whereabouts is that located exactly? It must be a fairly small town because it’s not one we’ve heard as a major tourist destination.
60) A Wristwatch…or…Palmwatch?
These gloves were trying to be cute by having a faux watch printed on it, but it seems like whoever designed it has never worn a watch before. Last we checked, its formal name is a ‘wristwatch’ because, you know, it’s worn on your wrist.
61) Maybe No One Will Notice?
The person who this photo said they bought it for just $12, which is a steal! But once they put it on, they realized it was just a bit…off. Maybe the plaid pattern will distract from the fact that it’s completely asymmetrical.
62) This ‘Inception-Inspired’ Shirt
Pregnancy shirts can be super adorable and there’s lots of ways to be ‘punny’ with them. But this one is just straight-up confusing. It’s a “Due in July” shirt with a photo of some other woman wearing a “Due In July” shirt.
63) What On Earth Is Happening Here?
If you take your time with this one, you can figure out what they’re trying to say. But, the reality of it is just awful. There is absolutely zero flow when it comes to how you’re supposed to read it and it hurts my brain to look at it.
64) Nelson Mandela Doesn’t Deserve This
For all the respect that Mr. Nelson Mandela deserves it really seems disrespectful to 1.) have his face on a pair of pajama pants and 2.) splitting his face in half in the crotch region of said pants. We apologize on the pant maker’s behalf Mr. Mandela.
65) For The Walking Dead Fan
Die-hard Walking Dead fans might want to rock these pair of socks to show their love for the show. However, I think they’ll be sorely disappointed once they actually slip them on.
