fashion fail

Fashion is a religion that many hold dear, and they don't take kindly when its' laws are desecrated. So if you care about fashion in any way, you probably shouldn't scroll through these pictures of people who committed the most serious of crimes against fashion, my eyes, and my faith in humanity.

Catwalk fashion is known to be outrageous and flamboyant, but these ridiculous men's runway looks are too much for me. Either I'm missing something here, or high-end fashion is something I'll never understand. And you know what? I'm OK with that. 

Being a bridesmaid is a big honor. Wearing a hideous bridesmaid dress is not. These ugly vintage bridesmaid dresses prove two things: that these brides have awful taste, and I feel sorry for the poor bridesmaids who had to wear these monstrosities.

We love finding pictures of offensive fashion choices and marvel at how someone would decide to wear an outfit that is so, so bad. Whether it's ridiculous catwalk looks, oddly specific trends, or just regular people making bad fashion choices, they all make our eyes and our hearts hurt equally as much. Here is the latest collection of deeply offensive fashion fails, which would all be burned if it were up to me, and stat!

We've shown you the Brokini (aka, bikinis for bros), and we've shown you the weird and wonderful world of men's catwalk fashion. And by that, we mean the hideously flamboyant. And now, we're back with another bizarre addition to men's fashion that you'll want to ensure you keep away from your boyfriends and husbands. Introducing the latest in Fashion Fail of the Week, denim speedos. And yes, they're as awful as they sound. As if the Brokini wasn't enough to ruin your summer. You can buy a pair for your man here if you're so inclined. And you hate him.

Remember when you were a little kid, and your mom forced you and your siblings to wear matching, scratchy, ugly outfits? The shame, the embarrassment, and the discomfort you endured, all so that your mom could get some great family pics? Well, we took a look back at some 1970s fashion ads, and the outfits look precisely like the scenario we just described. A mixture of tartan, plaid, high-waisted belts, and stuffy cotton looking numbers, the 1970s isn't a time we want to revisit when it comes to vintage fashion. Check out some of these ridiculous matching outfits from 70s fashion ads, and be grateful that your mom was the only one forcing you to match, and not the catwalks.

What happened to the good old days, when shoes were purely a functional item of clothing that stopped the ground from cutting up your feet? Nowadays, it's all about who can come up with the weirdest, most innovative, and original shoe designs, even if they aren't practical. We've bought you fish sandals before, and now we bring you the horror that is double-faced cowboy boots. Because why have two shoes when you can have four, right? Honestly, fashion is out of control these days, but scroll down to see this latest fashion fail, designed by Shayne Oliver.

Whatsup fashionistas? I've got another fashion catastrophe for you, which you might want to look at through your fingers because, as usual, it's not pretty. Previously, we've shown you the sandal socks disaster (whats up, dads?) and leggings with graphic pictures of your insides etched onto them. And now, we bring you the chicken feet socks, which are as ugly as they sound. Because who doesn't want to look like they have chicken legs instead of human legs? Not me, but clearly, some people do. I know, I know, they're meant to be a novelty gift gag, but they are just so... ugly! Scroll down and be horrified! 

The thing with fashion is that some styles can resurface after many years, so you never know whether to hold onto a vintage item or throw it away. But some trends need to stay dead and buried, like these ugly 1980s sweaters. Knowing hipsters today, they'll bring them back but make them super expensive, and we will laugh at those too. But for now, we're laughing at these hideously ugly sweaters that people probably thought were so cool back in the day. Cringe!

If you love spending a lot of money on handbags and love eating Ramen Noodles, then this is the bag made for you. But if you're like the rest of us and have some taste (not for Ramen), then you should probably stay far far away from it. This painfully offensive bag will set you back over $400 and is available on Etsy. It might look good enough to eat, but in my humble opinion, Ramen Noodles should stay away from fashion and remain at the back of the kitchen cupboard, ready for your next hangover. Enjoy scrolling through these pictures of our fashion fail of the week. 

For some reason, we take joy in finding the most offensive fashion fails on the internet and sharing them with you. It's like we're saying OK, we couldn't make it as fashion designers, and neither could these people, but they went for it anyway. The latest crime against the fashion world is these sandal socks, which you can find on Amazon. Everyone knows that one of the cardinal sins against fashion is to wear socks with sandals. And all men who wear them have a special place in hell waiting just for them. So why make socks with sandals built-in? Who knows. But here they are, in all their glory. 

Summer may be coming to a close, but would it blow your mind if I told you that the lack of international travel wasn't the worst thing that came out of it? Hard to believe, I know, but wait until you see the Brokini. The what, I hear you ask? The Brokini, aka, the bikini for bros. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's a thing. Don't believe me? Scroll down and see the latest fashion fail of the week for yourself. And yes, it's as bad as it sounds.

Fashion shows are for designers to showcase their upcoming designs, which then influence, and determine what will be "in" for the forthcoming season. The looks seen on the catwalk inspire designs found in high street brands, which will be sold en-mass to the general public. But sometimes, catwalk looks can be so striking, outlandish, and downright bizarre that you might confuse them with something you'd wear on Halloween. Like these designs below, for example, which I can't imagine anyone wearing off the catwalk. We love bringing you weekly fashion fails, and these certainly takes the cake. What are your thoughts?

Fashion changes over time; this is a universally acknowledged fact. And while some things come back into fashion a decade or two later, some fads are best forgotten and need to be buried deep in the fashion archives. Men's short shorts are one of those things, as proved by these vintage pictures from the 70s. Put the thighs away, gentleman. Thank you very much.

If there's one thing we love, it's taking the p*ss out of crimes against fashion. Previously, we've bought you the leggings designed to look like muscles, just in case you needed reminding of what your legs look like on the inside. We've also shown you the sandals that look like you're wearing dead fish on your feet, the reason for their creation I can't even begin to fathom. And now, we bring you the Facekini. Yes, that's right; there is swimwear designed for your face. Originally surfacing in China in 2012, this offensive fashion faux-pas was intended to protect swimmer's faces from the sun, algae and jellyfish stings. Practical? Yes. Highly offensive? Also yes. Scroll through and check out just how bad they look!

We're back with this week's ridiculous beauty blunder, and it comes in the form of mullets. Yes, that's right, possibly one of the word's most divisive hairstyles and one that you thought died with the '80s. It may come as a shock to learn mullets are still very much alive today and is actually celebrated at an annual festival called Mulletfest. Taking place in Kurri Kurri, Australia, it is, according to the official website, "an event that honors the best Mullet cuts in various styles and categories, including 'everyday', 'grubby', 'ranga' (red hair), 'vintage', 'extreme', 'international' and 'junior'". 

You're probably like me and had no idea that so many mullet options existed. You learn something new every day. Photographer Craig Gibson from the UK attended the Mulletfest 2020 to document all of the best, aka worst contestants of this horrific hairstyle. Here they are for you to peruse.
