Oh No They Didn’t: 40+ Cringe-worthy Fashion Choices That Can’t Be Unseen

Fashion is a form of self-expression. Instead of paper, paint, or ink, you use clothes to make a statement. Just look at the Suffragettes, for example. That said, you must learn how to pair certain pieces with unique accessories to gain the public’s eye. Once you’re an expert at this, fashion designers and enthusiasts who are absolutely besotted with your style will mimic you.

But that doesn’t mean fashion trends always make sense. It’s likely that some fads work to your figure’s advantage, whereas sometimes, they just make you look like a troll. However, the clothes we’ll feature today look horrendous on everyone. We can’t understand why someone even bothered to make them!

After seeing these pieces, you’ll be convinced that they were designed by pranksters. Not only is it crazy to pay any kind of money for these works of art, but to wear them? Logic screams, “No!”

Out of Ideas

Denim jeans as tops? Well, that’s certainly a new fashion trend. But frankly, it’s not exactly the most practical or comfortable idea. Can you imagine trying to zip these things up over your chest? Talk about a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen!

And let’s not forget about the heat factor. Denim is already pretty warm, so wearing it as a top would just be a recipe for a sweaty disaster. Plus, how do you even accessorize? Do you wear shoes or just go barefoot? What do you wear at the bottom? Leather pants? So many questions.

Nice and Clean

White feather boots: the ultimate fashion statement for those who want to look like they’re walking on clouds. Or maybe like they just stepped out of a chicken coop. Either way, these boots are certainly eye-catching. But they’re best left on shelves.

White feathers are not the most practical material for footwear. Sure, they may look fluffy and soft, but what do you do if it rains? Your feet will be soaked, and those feathers will be clumped and matted, leaving you looking more like a wet bird than a fashion icon.

Open-Toed Boots

Plastic knee-high boots with stones glued on them? Well, that’s certainly a fashion choice that screams, “Bye-bye practicality. I just want attention!” Plastic boots are not exactly known for their breathability, so be prepared for some sweaty and stinky feet.

It might help that this designer made them”open-toe boots,” but the reality is that they’re still uncomfortable. Also, this kind of footwear isn’t known for its elegance, so expect to sound like a herd of stampeding horses, neighing every now and then wherever you go.

Designed With Thieves In Mind

Who needs a bag that actually holds things when you can just show off your items to the world? It may look cool and edgy, but what happens when it starts raining, or you stand next to a pickpocket? Say goodbye to your belongings.

You might as well just wear a sign that says, “Please steal my stuff,” because everyone can see what’s inside your bag. Forget about trying to hide your snacks or your other guilty pleasures. A true fashionista knows when to compromise comfort and privacy.

Pin Drop

Who needs regular sneakers when you can have shoes that double as party favors? Make a fashion statement by wearing these to prom or date night! Just make sure to dance far away from the crowd. You wouldn’t want anyone stepping on these kicks.

After all, what do you think will happen when someone, like your date, steps on one of these inflatable bows? You’ll have to say goodbye to your inflated fashion statement. By the end of the night, one or both shoes will have come undone, and so will you!

Monstrosities

Lime green Crocs made in the shape of pumpkins? It’s giving off “I don’t care about style; I just want to be festive” vibes. Many people said that these shoes are meant for one ghoulful occasion in a year, and we certainly see their point.

Do folks store these things in the deepest darkest corners of the attic, or do they wear them all year round? Interestingly, some people said they would risk being laughingstocks having these on their feet, asserting that if that was the price of comfort, they’d pay it without hesitation.

Safety Precaution

Next up, we have a Croc shoe with a snow plow at the front. Inspired by those who frequently slip on ice, this shoe can double as a gardening tool and a winter safety precaution. It isn’t going to win you fashion awards, though.

You’ll be the life of the party with your snow plow. Just try not to act shocked when people start requesting you to come over to clear their driveways. On the bright side, you can make a couple of bucks during the winter months or ask for a cup of cocoa with these babies.

Durable

Fans claim that these shoes are so durable they were able to cross the Amazonian jungle in them. But what did you expect? If you fashion a pair of boots from old Lee pants, then you’re guaranteed durable footwear no matter the terrain.

Just note that these boots are not for the fashion-conscious or for those who need practical footwear. They are strictly meant for people who want to show off their love for blue denim and entertain the masses at the same time. A peculiar comedic genre.

Electrifying

Some people claim that they live their best lives through their fashionista alter-egos. They deem the people walking the runway as their superheroes. As expected, these giants often wear unique fashion accessories, such as oversized sunglasses in the shape of a lightning bolt.

Clear oversized sunglasses in the shape of a lightning bolt are about as practical as a screen door on a submarine. These things can’t even protect your eyes from the sun, nor can they help you navigate through a dark room. The only thing they’re good at is attracting attention and mean laughs!

Doubles as Stilts

Have you ever wanted to look like a giraffe on stilts? Well, now you can with these foot-high platform wedges! These will have you towering over everyone else. People will fall in line to feed you leaves from their hands just to take a good look at you!

Of course, you would have to bend every now and then to get to them and give into what people desire, but that’s what muses do. Guys, we get that you adore Lady Gaga and want to be like her, but not like this.

For the Kid Inside

Attention ’90s fashionistas! Boy, have we got the perfect footwear to pacify the attention-seeking kid in you. These boots were inspired by the adorable Teletubbies. Remember them? You can have the faces of “Tinky Winky” and the rest of the gang on your shoes.

Let’s not forget about the added bonus of being able to entertain children with your footwear. We can already picture their faces when they see you walking around with their favorite TV characters in your boots. You’ll be the life of the kid party and the talk of the playground!

These shoes are for grown women who refuse to grow up and instead choose to live in a perpetual state of childhood wonder. With their pointed toes and curved heels, they are sure to make you feel like you’re skipping through Neverland! Now, where’s “Tinker Bell” when you need her?!

The pants are painted to look like a woman’s bare legs, complete with fishnet stockings and sexy panties. It’s the perfect combination of fashion and titillation! Plus, who doesn’t love the French?

Ripped

We’re talking about jeans that are so threadbare you can practically see through them. Jeans that have holes in places you didn’t even know were possible. Frankly, they look like they were run over by a truck and then dragged through a swamp!

Two In One

Get ready to step into the future of fashion with this latest creation – the Reversible Shoes! That’s right, these shoes can be worn in two ways. You can wear them with the toes facing forward or flip them around and wear them with the heels facing forward.

You’ll never have to worry about getting bored with your shoes again – just switch them up whenever you feel like it. Both ways allow you to tie them up so these bad boys will be fastened tightly to your feet. They should last you until college.

Almost There

We’re taking denim to the next level by cutting off the back part of jeans and gluing them onto the hem of a shirt. With this, you can slip a carabiner with your groceries in them and carry your goods to the car hands-free!

However, we would suggest that you wear something underneath this outfit. If you hang heavy items on this shirt, it’s likely it will be torn into shreds, and you will have nothing to cover yourself with. But what’s fashion without risk?

Just How We Like ‘Em

Get ready to take your fashion game to new heights with the latest trend in footwear – waist-high boots! Who needs pants when you can just wear these bad boys to a date or the club and call it a day?

Not only do waist-high boots make a bold fashion statement, but they’re also incredibly practical. You’ll never have to worry about getting your feet wet in a puddle or dealing with cold ankles – your entire lower body will be protected by these babies!

I’m Out

Want to quit your job without having to hand in your resignation letter? Then here’s a failsafe way to get your boss to fire you! Wear this asymmetrical blouse with its daring cut and watch everyone, especially HR, lose their minds!

As you can see, this is basically a classic office blouse cut on the sides. Someone wanted people to show off their fabulous abs (or lack thereof) so they could have a little something to be remembered by their co-workers.

Under the Sea

And now we have the latest fashion trend to add a splash of whimsy to men’s wardrobes – the “Merman” blouse. Not only will this make you stand out in a sea of boring office wear, but it’s also designed to keep you feeling mythical. There’s no way anyone will ever call you boring again!

This blouse is also versatile – wear it with dress pants for a formal occasion or pair it with shorts for a more casual look. You can even wear it with a patch of scaly fins whenever you feel like showing your true self.

Fierce Serpent

Gone are the days of boring, basic boots. Who needs smooth leather or suede when you can have scales sticking out of the back of your shoes? These kicks will make you feel like a fierce reptilian creature ready to take on the world.

Embrace the “Scales Out” boots and let your inner reptile shine. And just in case you feel like throwing out this pair of boots, you can always tell everyone you decided to shed your scales and watch the incredulous looks on their faces. Out with the old and in with the new!

Just A Dollop

If you feel like adding a dollop of color to your bland, emo jeans, then how about decorating them with meters of fuzzy rope? This designer came up with the brilliant idea and repurposed hundreds of jeans in time for Halloween.

You might get some strange looks from your friends and family who don’t understand the appeal of pants decorated with fuzzy rope. But who cares about them? You are too busy being a fashion-forward rebel and being a bonafide trailblazer!

The Horror

Thanks to this design, we won’t have to worry about anyone stealthily sticking their grubby hands where they don’t belong. All it takes is a doll’s face with a pair of stick-thin legs hanging from a women’s purse to scare away pickpockets.

Think of all the fun you’ll have pretending you’re carrying around a tiny person in your bag. “Oh, sorry, my kid and I are in a rush today; gotta catch the train!” Imagine the looks on people’s faces when they realize you’ve gone mental!

Totally Bejeweled

Do you want to stand out and shine like a diamond? Well, have no fear because we know exactly how you can do it. Just get yourself bejeweled boots. They’re covered from top to bottom in shiny gems and glittering rhinestones and are perfect for drag night!

Who needs subtle and understated footwear when you can blind everyone within a ten-mile radius with your sparkling shoes? All you need to do is flash the light at the right angle, and you will have everyone shrieking in pain!

Cut ‘Em Off

Picture this: you’re out for a leisurely bike ride, enjoying the fresh air and beautiful scenery around you. But then, as you start to pick up speed, you realize something is horribly wrong. Your shorts are so tight that they’re practically cutting off your circulation!

Fear not, dear cyclist, because we have the solution -slate shorts! When you’re cycling, you need to be able to move your legs freely in order to get the most out of your ride. With these shorts, you’ll have the perfect amount of coverage and movement to win!

Antagonist

Ever wanted to feel like a superhero while also looking like a fashionista? Well, we’ve come across Dolls Kill tights with black fringes along the length of the back. You can strut your stuff down the street and feel like you have your own personal cape trailing behind you.

They also provide a handy distraction for anyone walking behind you. With these, you’ll no longer have to worry about people staring at your derriere – they’ll be too busy admiring the dramatic black fringes that flutter behind you with every step!

Forget Alignment

These slippers are ballooned for maximum comfort. You’ll feel like you’re walking on a fluffy marshmallow with every step you take. And don’t worry about the lack of support. Who needs arch support or proper foot alignment when you’re at home anyway?

Affordable Prices

With their constant sales and discounts, it’s easy to fall down the Shein rabbit hole and emerge hours later with a cart full of items you never knew you needed. Who cares if the sizing is inconsistent and the quality is questionable? It’s on sale!

Indulge in the Shein haul, but don’t forget the true cost of this cheap footwear. When you receive the package with the items you ordered and those extra, mystery items you didn’t, just remember – you get what you pay for.

Beats the Point

White sandal boots with open toes. Sounds like the perfect combination of style and practicality, right? Well, if you’re looking for a way to show off your pedicure while also exposing your toes to all sorts of hazards, then these shoes are for you!

Picture yourself walking down the street, feeling the soft breeze on your feet…until a piece of gravel decides to take a ride between your toes. But who needs comfort and protection when you can have everyone’s undivided attention? They’ll be talking about you for weeks on end!

Designed by Men

Winter is here, and what better way to stay cozy than with a pair of commercially manufactured slip-ons? Why stop at orthopedic, plain old slippers when you can add some pizazz by gluing pop puffs all over them? Well, they’re right when they say ‘bold’ because only the bold can wear these.

Sure, the puffs might get dirty and matted down after a few wears, but that’s just part of the charm, right? And who needs traction anyway? Sliding around the house like you are on an ice rink sounds like fun!

Communicated Like A Woman

Looking for a surefire way to turn off your date? Look no further. We have a pair of heels that look like they belong on an alien’s feet. These shoes are perfect for scaring off that annoying guy who just can’t take a hint.

These shoes are also incredibly uncomfortable to wear. The pointy toes and awkward angles will leave your feet screaming in pain by the end of the night – which is exactly what you want if you’re trying to get your date to leave early!

Fashion Faux Pas

Here’s a fun scenario: you meet your Hollywood nemesis on the red carpet. You eye them top to bottom and can’t see a flaw in place. So you decide to create one. You reach for the hairpin on your head and slowly walk over to her. With one smooth motion, you pop their balloon bra!

Made out of nothing but inflatable balloons, these bras provide a unique look and a whole lot of support – at least until someone decides to pop them. Back on the carpet, you seethe as you see this actress getting more attention because of the fashion faux pas.

We’re Confused

Introducing the latest fashion trend that’ll make you look like a confused hipster: square and circle glasses! We’ve taken two classic shapes and combined them into an uncomfortable pair of glasses. Who wants to choose between square and circle frames when you can have both in one headache-inducing package?

These glasses also come with the added bonus of being incredibly uncomfortable to wear. The square frame digs into your temples, while the circle frame constantly slides down your nose. It’s perfect for people who have asymmetrical faces! Click to virtually try them on!
