If you think it’s difficult to design toys these days, wait till you see this list of the worst fashion disasters ever produced. Despite your best efforts, your white shorts wind up appearing like rubbish because of the abstract markings you used to decorate them. Alternatively, you may make a mistake with the wording, and exercise socks become cum socks. We gathered these and other amusing instances to add to our growing collection of wardrobe blunders, demonstrating that all designs should be reviewed by a second party before going into production. We hope that by reading the posts, you will be more attentive on your next shopping trip! You can enjoy them by scrolling down and voting on your favorite.
I Wore the Cat, Honey
A cute kitten or puppy is something that almost all of us like, and there’s nothing wrong with it. But it’s strange to slip your size 11s into a pair of socks that will undoubtedly expand and make the sweet kitten pattern on the socks seem downright menacing and disturbing.
These socks were clearly designed with only the first thought of “okay, let’s put an adorable cat on some socks and get some money” in mind by the people who created the socks. Kittens are lovely and have a feel-good effect that most people can’t resist, unless in cases like this one, when they’re plastered on a pair of enormous cheesy socks, where they’re impossible to ignore.
Is It Even Possible To Wear A Piece Like That?
Is it possible that someone’s dog ate these pants? Is this the same excuse as “my dog ate my homework”? However, this time, it’s used when someone needs to explain to the nice police officer why they’re wearing so little to the officer who’s arresting them. This is what we guessed initially. Nope. The belt is what we guessed. Indeed. Made from a set of jeans’ waistbands. A perfect example of upcycling!
Could it have glow-in-the-dark properties? Halloween is just around the corner, so you can always wear this costume trick-or-treating. Would it pass through the pants of Freddy Krueger or the pantaloons of your pirate costume? Think about it.
Check Your Work For Errors… But Wait…
Could this be a real design, or could it be that this was the designer’s day off, and the guy doing work experience got a hold of the design software just to have fun? The design must be proofread in every detail before printing, as we know it’s essential.
A hoodie wearer has a clear choice to make in this case. Always wear your hoodie up, or you may face yelling (or worse) from animal lovers. We guess a few passers-by will be upset when the accidentally broadcast message is made while the hood is down. Wouldn’t it be easier if you recycled the hoodie and tried again?
You Should Always Check Your Back
Often, school is cruel. It can be a battle on the playground and a place where the fittest survive. It’s easy to think that whoever this poor guy has probably discovered this for himself. A prize wedgie has been given to him or accidentally given to him.
He looks relaxed! If you look closely, you can see that it’s just a t-shirt with an unfortunate design! Here, it’s a simple fix. It would be nice if you would not wear this shirt tucked in. Check your butt in the mirror before closing your front door and heading out.
Cryptic Code On A Washing Tag
Besides checking the washing instructions on your clothes before washing them, some fashionistas like to figure out what their clothes are made of. In this case, however, we believe we’ve found the first clothing item whose fabric composition amounts to a staggering 200%. Polyurethane, aka PU, is used in this t-shirt in addition to polyester, viscose, and polymer.
But what do all those Xs mean? Could they simply be friendly kisses? What about big, friendly kisses? Maybe they’re a kind of Pythagorean code that the makers of this shirt can only understand?
Mickey Mouse: The Darker Side
Our embarrassing family photos would fit nicely with this image, but no, here it is instead. On this oversized blue sweatshirt, you’ll find a large Mickey Mouse print. Except it’s wrapped around this woman’s butt, and Mickey’s big hands appear to be gripping her mid-waist from behind.
It allows people to stand behind you without being too close to you, don’t you think? If this image teaches us anything, it’s that you can wear your favorite Disney character on your sweatshirt without being judged. You might want to think about how you wear your sweatshirt!
Not Enough Room To Say It!
There’s so much to say and just so much time in this space! It’s difficult to know where to begin, and our sides hurt from laughing so hard. Take a deep breath and exhale. This is an extraordinary pair of jeans with a denim front and back, and sides constructed of a see-through mesh that leaves little room for interpretation. The gold suspenders that keep this incredible design together are just as terrible as the rest of it.
Simply said, it’s a terrible appearance. Whoever wears this would require a lot of guts, a lot of Tequila, or maybe even both of those things. Have you ever seen someone walking about in a pair of these monstrosities? Interesting!
Which Still Images Could They Have Used?
We are all aware that slapping a renowned Disney character on virtually any article of apparel is a certain way to increase sales. The designers of this bikini, on the other hand, were a tad overzealous in their attempts in this instance. Without considering how it would appear after it is worn, they have hurriedly printed Simba from The Lion King on the front of this bathing suit.
Perhaps the designers behind this design are the same ones that created the kitten socks we saw earlier? We wouldn’t be shocked if this turned out to be true. In our minds, we’re picturing the reaction you’d receive if you showed up at the beach or the pool in this little number.
The Importance of Proofreading
Buying a kid’s clothes can be a lot of fun. However, it’s this bottle green sweater that we can’t stand. The designer may simply have been trying to convey a friendly hello by replacing the o with an emoji smiley. The last two years in lockdown are best described by a word most people would use to describe the situation!
If sweaters could talk, It would be hilarious due to these circumstances. Translation wouldn’t be necessary. Once again, I want to remind everyone why it’s always a good idea to proof designs before signing them, otherwise, you’ll end up with designs like this!
Misunderstood
Instead of wearing bright shirts or humorous caps to express oneself, this wordy t-shirt is intended for someone who isn’t concerned with drawing a little attention to himself or herself. Or is this simply an excellent illustration of how a design was misunderstood throughout the translation process? Or maybe the designers drank a few too many drinks before sitting down to finalize this unique t-shirt design.
It’s hard to tell which the case is. We’d be interested in knowing how well this specific item is selling. After a few dozen shots on Friday night, though, it’s possible that it’s just one of those t-shirts that suddenly makes a lot more sense. Funny!
What The Hell Is Going On?
There is only one style of clothing that will make us choke on our morning coffee while laughing, and that is this. On what planet would a design like this make sense? Believe it or not, there are such things, or there were. I think they’re inspired by Daisy Duke, a Dukes of Hazzard character from the 70s/80s.
We like to refer to this pale blue short set and the matching trousers as Daisy Dukes’ embarrassing cousin. We’re a little freaked out by the removable, cut-out chaps legs. Shorts that resemble adult diapers are left behind when the bottom comes off!
Unlucky Colors
Even if two-tone pants aren’t strictly a fashion disaster in and of themselves, wearing them may be. The use of tie-dye patterns, varied colors, and ombre effects are just a few examples of trends that work effectively. When it comes to choosing colors, on the other hand, you must proceed with extreme caution. If you don’t, you can wind up with a nightmare like the one seen in this photograph. The last thing anyone wants in a pair of jeans is to be under the impression that they’ve soiled themselves!
Either the designer didn’t consider the implications of their color choice, or they were attempting to pull a trick on unsuspecting customers! We’d like to believe it was the latter, because how on earth could anyone have missed such an obvious error?
Activewear Has Never Been So Cool
We laughed out loud when we saw this. Having no idea what this item of clothing is, we are scratching our heads. Could it possibly be a gym dress that doubles as a cocktail dress? The wearer, then, can jog to the bar for drinks if they run out of time at the gym! Being prepared never hurts, right?
Otherwise, why would you create something that looks like a failed fashion experiment that was created without any thought or consideration? Perhaps the designer is in it solely for the glitz and glamour. I did not want to be ironic in any way.
Doesn’t This Shield You From The Sun?
This type of sun visor is rare these days. In a bad way, they’re retro. The following example illustrates what can happen when a manufacturer is unaware of the product’s intended use. This design may not serve the purpose of shielding your eyes and face from the sun when you’re outdoors.
Maybe the cap is supposed to make you appear more eye-catching instead? Could you imagine what it would be like if you wore this when you played competitive tennis under the sun? Right, we don’t think this would be a winner, do we?
It’s A Literary Farty Pants
Ok, so either the person wearing these sweatpants has no clue, or they have a real cartoon sense of humor that they are not afraid to share wherever they go. Fortunately, here, the guy did not notice someone was taking a photo of his cartoon-themed butt. These sweatpants may have been designed by someone who enjoys the classic Road Runner cartoons.
Perhaps they know exactly what this means as an emoji based on the location of the drawing. This gentleman is serving as a public service announcement by warning us he’s feeling windy. Because of this, those nearby should step back and give him some space. This kind of integrity can only be respected.
Can You Ever Have Too Many Shoes?
These shoes are beyond description. Sure, we all enjoy expressing our individuality and showing our sense of style through clothes and accessories. The white platform heels, however, are just too much for many. When the designers sat down to create these, did they have prominent adults in mind who were fans of Barbie? Is it a joke? An elaborate costume? No one knows.
To be completely honest, we’re not really sure what they are. Isn’t it correct that the shoe should be on top of the shoe? Moreover, our heads are at a loss as to how you managed to navigate through such a sophisticated design! Are you able to assist us?
The Nuts That Squirrel Got Were Wrong
After a long day, there’s nothing better than changing into something more relaxed and comfortable, is there not? Our only concern is that we wouldn’t want to hang out in these drawstring gray pants. Does that make sense? The naughty squirrel was positioned strategically to look like it was grabbing the wearer’s crown jewels.
Perhaps your grandmother gave them to you as a Christmas present. You know, the old adage “less is more” and all that? Some people prefer a more subdued appearance. It is possible that the manufacturer did not take this into consideration when creating these pants.
Do We See Double?
Without at least one mask, a list of hilarious clothing designs in 2021 wouldn’t be complete. In any case, we’ve seen an influx of fashion designers, stores, and home crafters alike giving what was once a traditional surgical-style get-up a makeover over the past couple of years. Anything to make the new normal a little bit more bearable, right?
Here’s one company’s attempt at reaching Frozen fans with their merchandise. How did it turn out? A carnival mirror would show Elsa’s face if she stood in front of it. Just make sure your side profile is the only thing people see – that should be enough.
That’s Not Polo
Polo is one of the world’s oldest team sports. In fact, it began as a military training exercise nearly two millennia ago. But the clothing depicted here is not part of any formal uniform. Correct us if we’re wrong, but didn’t polo include players piggybacking on their horsey friends?
Is that even possible? We seriously doubt it unless you’re the Incredible Hulk! We’d presume that this shirt is a counterfeit of the Ralph Lauren polo. In any case, it is visually appealing for all the wrong reasons and deserves to be included on this list!
“Sheep Hooves: The New Fashion Trend… No One Ever Said That”
There’s nothing bad about this clothing design; nothing scary about it. We are reminded of goat or sheep feet or alien horror film props as we wear these slippers. It looks almost like your hooves are your feet with the flesh-colored design. Buy your family members a pair of these if you want to scare them this Christmas.
Sit back and watch their faces as they open your beautifully wrapped present. They would make the perfect revenge gift for the relative who knits you an awful sweater every year that you must wear all day to show how much you love it.
Punks Can Also Wear Crocs
Again, a pair of questionable footwear. Of course, it is possible these bad boys began as a plain old pair of black crocs. The owner of these crocs has decided to show off how much they value individuality by dressing them up to the nines.
We love the spikes and key chain attached to the wearer’s leg. Is this a security measure? Maybe someone was afraid to touch these expensive shoes. Or, perhaps this is the shoe equivalent of tying a string to your mittens to keep them from getting lost? Asking for a friend.
Pepperoni Pizza: The Latest Inspo for Sports Gear
It’s not uncommon for sports players to wear eye-catching, unusual outfits, but these players sure look like they’ve incurred the wrath of their fans with this outfit. Their opponents have retaliated by throwing spaghetti sauce and pepperoni pizza at them.
Maybe they haven’t scored a goal that they will never forget. Let’s throw out the ball and see if anyone can tell us who this team is and what the background of that pizza sauce strip is instead of assuming the team’s nationality.
What Should I Do Now? Should I Stay, Or Should I Leave?
This design is difficult to explain, even in its simplest form. Is there any point in creating a pair of cowboy/bondage/crocodile-style pointy boots that make a wearer appear to be moving very slowly? Is it possible they are designed to deter people from getting too close to the wearer?
Is this an attempt to put themselves in a different category from others? Whatever the cause, this appears to be an uncomfortable situation. The see-through pants are just incredible. Honestly? Is this some type of stylish rainwear that we’ve been missing out on? We don’t know what to say.
The Irony
What a waste of time. Well, maybe not. The design here really makes the point. In case anyone was in any doubt, the manufacturer reprinted each butterfly in triplicate to emphasize the individuality of each wearer. However, they did not realize that this has the opposite effect.
As a bonus, we reserve a special place in fashion hell for anyone who must wear something that expresses individuality. Vest tops like this are more overly literal and misguided than lousy. Could the designer have been ironic? I think so!
Here Is The Winner Of The Pointless Zipper Award…
Those who designed this denim-colored tee deserve first place for pointless details. In addition to itching the wearer’s neck and leaving some nasty scratches behind, this tiny zipper sewn into the collar of the t-shirt is completely useless. Particularly appealing is the front pocket with a floppy flap.
Notice the lettering on the golf club. Based on this, we assume it’s meant for storing golf tees, right? If your pal wore this for a man’s day out, what would you say to him? Can you keep it zipped, or are you too tactful?
Who Knows What This Is?
This is a factory error. Even if that was the case, how in the world did this outfit get into the store? Our favorite clothes give us a unique and versatile look (in a good way). What about this? The sweatpants are kind of freakish, isn’t it? I don’t know.
Would you like to share your thoughts on this? Did anyone receive this creation as a gift? Are you too embarrassed to wear it/don’t know how to wear it, so it just sits in your closet at home? Tell us everything!
Stay On The Sat Nav
Our world today is dominated by SatNavs and Google Maps. This has rendered map reading obsolete. This t-shirt will convince anyone who doubts it. This is an excellent example of how many of us are unfamiliar and unwilling to be familiar with our geography!
There is no doubt that the US is enormous, so let’s try to be more understanding. However, when did Montana and New Mexico overlap? I hope no one plans to use this tee as a map and take those roads that lead nowhere, right?
Who Needs It?
This sweatshirt is a great match for outfit #24. Inspirational words abound, especially on posters, Instagram, and Facebook, but can they be overwhelming? Maybe that’s the designer’s response before presenting us with this muddled message. Or does it have a deeper, esoteric meaning that we just can’t grasp?
This slouchy sweater appears to be quite comfortable! What is the meaning of this vague and perplexing message? Do you have confidence in yourself? Quit? What’s the harm in trying? Maybe it’s a good thing for those of us who overshare. Take a look at this!
Whose Coffee?
If you enjoy shirts that appear like someone poured their coffee or beer over them, we think we’ve found the perfect after-match tee for you. On our list of terrible garment designs, this one has short sleeves and a lot of stains.
We wonder what coworkers would say if they spotted someone wearing one of these to look smart. This shirt is excellent for the smart-casual, make-a-statement attitude. It’s more of a dress-up Friday look than a dress-down Friday.
If You’re Not Afraid of Scares
This shirt is perfect for proud Dads who want to share their love for their kids with the world. The creepy matching shorts and matching t-shirt of this guy don’t let him down. I’m judging by the covert glances he attracts that it’s enough to put most passers-by off. His cute little bambino shouldn’t be screaming the park down in horror, but he is.
Do we wonder if perhaps he was brave enough to wear such an outfit? Is it possible that he dressed in the dark? Have you ever wanted to show how much you love your child by having the head of his or her baby repeated all over your t-shirt and shorts? Why not?
You Can Give Up
Here’s a look that’s been created particularly for those who are afraid of heights. While this cute-looking white t-shirt and duck egg blue short outfit defies the current trend of encouraging phrases written on clothing and luggage, it does so without sugarcoating things. To put it another way, instead of saying things like “Carpe Diem,” “Keep At It,” or even ‘Love Conquers All’ for the romantics out there, a cross across the word “never” gives us a license to just not bother at all. Today is not one of those days.
Although, to be fair, we believe this may be another instance of a design that was not adequately proofed before going to print due to a clerical error. Either that or the designer is simply a pessimist, as you could imagine.
Dear God
We hope the wearer of these t-shirts and sweatshirts has a sense of humor. The plastic baubles or pearls (we are not 100% sure what they are!) were stitched in places that weren’t exactly random, and the result is…hmm…interesting! The shirt’s designer did not consider how it would look under a sweater.
Perhaps they did, but they’re just making us laugh. There must be a girl-to-girl changing room moment, where the person trying on the outfit asks, ‘Can you see my nipples in this shirt?” You would hope the answer from the friend would be yes!
An Unlucky Mistake
What we’re questioning is whether there was some sort of mix-up at the merch manufacturer in this case. What more can we say to explain what’s going on in this situation? That, or the creator of this perplexing t-shirt is playing a practical joke on us. Somehow, the image of the 1990s adolescent band Hanson has joined forces with rock legends Nirvana to create a new look.
The gear is unquestionably not official Hanson material, and we’re quite sure Kurt Cobain was never a member of the band. Perhaps the manufacturer is aware of something we are not? Maybe it’s simply another one of those “two for the price of one” specials that have been developed specifically for the millions of Hanson/Nirvana fans out there.
Arms Are So Last Season
Designer clothing that is both creative and functional might be a wise purchase. Indeed, they’re a fashionable way to make a statement, albeit an expensive one at $5,300 in this particular instance. This vibrant green garment, on the other hand, appears to be more of a restraint tactic than an evening gown.
We’re curious as to how the user manages to move their arms to say hello or even perform basic necessities like eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom?! It’s essentially a straight jacket for making a boundary-pushing statement. The shoes, on the other hand, are just stunning. Our set of shoes and boots is unquestionably an improvement over all of the other footwear options on this list.
Too Many Ideas
When a brainstorming session goes sideways, this is what occurs. That’s what we believe happened when this t-shirt was printed, at least according to our assumptions. We’re also betting it wasn’t a really popular item. Either that, or it’s some sort of statement clothing intended to convey the message that there is simply no hope for humanity at all.
An almost nihilistic fashion statement for the twenty-first century Most likely, it’s just another egregious printing error on the part of the printer. Alternatively, whoever was engaged in this was having a rough day and decided to spice things up a little by having a little fun day. Or are we just being a little naive in this instance?
Wordless
We’re back in the land of inspiration. Meaningful quotes are being plastered on t-shirts to sell. Except that someone either didn’t use a grammar checker or ran out of room and thought, “It’ll work out.” “Imagine how it feels to touch the sky,” or some such inspirational or philosophical remark, we believe.
We believe that this tee is intended to make the wearer appear bright, vibrant, or philosophical in their appearance. Who knows, maybe this shoddy clothing design may become a matter of discussion. Let us in the comment section if you love this one!
My Back Pocket
This is great school attire for your kid. Maybe. Their lunch money or sandwiches can be kept in the back pocket. Or do professors want students to write notes to their parents? There are many potential uses. But there’s a lot wrong with this design. There’s avant-garde fashion and then there’s this bland creation.
Maybe this kid has the wrong clothing on? To us, it says: hey, go home and change! Or the inevitable all-day pranks. Who can blame us for being perplexed? This t-stitched-on shirt’s Hippo/Unicorn/Rhino/whatever has our minds spinning. Isn’t it cute?
Geography Can Be Difficult
Fashion is more than simply a set of clothes. It can be worn to make remarks, express one’s individuality, or even make a sarcastic statement, depending on the situation. However, in the case of this sludge-colored tee shirt, we can only speculate that someone was absent from geography class at their previous school.
Since when has Asia, or sections of Asia, resembled Africa in appearance? The odd nation or two are understandable, but a full continent is a bit much to ask of someone. Perhaps the people who designed this t-shirt just have a wonderful sense of humor? Or perhaps they’re the same individuals that created the geographical calamity depicted on the t-shirt that we previously published!
