Let's just get this out of the way: I'm no fashion expert. But sometimes you don't need to be a VOGUE subscriber to tell that a piece of clothing is terrible.
Whether we're talking about poorly placed words and graphics, confusing and obscene designs, or straight-up ugliness that literally looks like a piece of poo, some things are just universally bad.
You would think when it comes to mass-produced clothes, a team of highly-qualified people has certainly thought about everything, playing with the design, figuring out what works and what doesn't. However, Bored Panda has compiled a list of hilarious photos to show you that it's not always the case.

My Mother-In-Law Made All The Men In Our Family A Pair Of These Sleep Pants For Christmas
That's not a fail. It's hilarious. I hope they were good sports and wore them.
Yeah - she did this deliberately!! I'd wear 'em!
Load More Replies...These are nuts. On purpose for sure. The balls on that one, I'm telling you.
I Thought She Was Wearing A Black Dress And Hands On Her Hips
This is not a fashion fail - this is a brain fail. Funny how true it is that "You should never believe anything you hear, and only half of what you see".
This is, rather, a chroma-key fail. the studio manager should be shot. the images need to be filtered to calibrate the images of the four to the side look like they're being lit by the same lighting (its too cool). And the lady in the red shirt, is being washed out from a combination off too-bright lights and too much exposure. (which is why her red shirt looks like a cardboard cut out.)
Load More Replies...I see how this happened. Yet I cannot unsee the fail, no matter how I try.
We have released similar lists in the past (here, here, and here) but, for better or worse, it looks like there will always be new fashion disasters to discover.
According to Cosmopolitan, women can avoid such fails in the fall by holding onto their warm-weather essentials a bit longer. So don't pack up your bra tops and knee-length shorts just yet.
Instead, keep a lookout for cropped blazers, doll dresses that pair super well with tall boots, and consider wearing bra tops under jackets and sweaters.
Tiny Body Or Giant Head?
Imagine this on a black background... it would mess up people's minds
This T-Shirt
Men's Health, on the other hand, acknowledges that choosing the right fall clothes can be a daunting task for any guy, but reassures that there are plenty of comfortable options to flex for top-notch style.
Considering that the weather can become truly unpredictable, stylish water-resistant outerwear and footwear will make sure we're comfortable, no matter what Mother Nature throws at us.
For a night out, let's take our everyday flattering T-shirt and jeans, but give them a boost of style with a luxe-looking jacket and fashion-forward footwear like Chelsea boots.

the fact that a phone ...AN IPHONE 11 PRO MAX is about to fall down but for a thread..is killing me. KILLING ME
Why does anyone wear jeans full of pre-made holes? (I'm too old for this s**t)
In my country, that phone will never see the light of day. It will be forever kept on somebody else's pocket.
She's not the brightest bulb. That's probably the 4th phone this month she's about to lose.
AND someone could easily pickpocket her phone or whatever else is in her pocket.

Aesthetics aside (let people wear whatever they like, for goodness sake) I'm not sure of the point. You can't run or play sports in boots, and laces aren't the most practical in a stirrup, so this is a useless design really.

Women’s Pockets Can Fit Less Than Half Of A Switch Lite, Whereas Men’s Pockets Can Fit A Whole Switch
That pocket is still better than most pockets on womens clothes, usually they are only big enough to fit a chapstick or they are fake and sewed up.
GF just found out yesterday that the brand new jeans she bought have fake pockets. Jeans. With fake pockets. WHAT THE ACTUAL F***!
Load More Replies...My husband and I were shocked when we compared how far into our pockets our mobile phones go: he couldn't believe mine sticks out so far at the top to make it pointless putting it in and I could believe that his phone literally disappears down into the pocket completely. I mean, WTF. There is no reason why I can't put my phone in my pocket like he does, it's not like my ovaries get in the way or something. C'mon jeans manufacturers.
"It's not like my ovaries get in the way or something." Hahahahaha! I love you!
Load More Replies...I recently bought a pair of leggings and a pair of bike shorts. They both have inner hidden pockets that are actually big enough for a smartphone. My old pair of leggings had a pocket big enough to hold a couple of quarters.

If everyone asks for bigger pockets for women's wear, then why doesn't some company do it and make loads of money?
As a follow up I just did some quick googling and found four fashion companies that proudly put large pockets in all their clothes. So there definitely are some companies trying to exploit the gap in the market, but so far not succeeding (I'd never heard of them at least).
Load More Replies...Men's have bigger better pockets, cost less and you don't have to buy a purse. Plus! You can buy 100% cotton. I hate stretch. I walk them off because there is no thigh room. Excuse me for exercising and being normal!
Exactly! True style is all about authenticity, and she carries it perfectly. For more timeless looks, check out Carlanisa.
Load More Replies...They have this theory that woman doesn't need pockets cause they have bags whilst the man doesn't have any so the pockets serves as their bag. And yeah, those theory came from people who think they knew better how to live our lives.

they're running so hard their own feet are bleeding. I think. I'm not sure, but it's the best I got. My uncle new a guy, that during selections for delta force literally walked (over extremely rough terrain- IIRC- it was 50mi) until the soles of his feet came off with his boots. all because he took a wrong turn at a fork. (ended up doubling the walk.)Marathon runners can get some fairly nasty blisters. (And whatever you do, don't talk to them about bleeding nipples...)

Seriously Stop It With This
I don’t understand why they do this, just make them into proper bloody pockets instead of this fake b******t.
You need to see if the pocket is inside, sometimes you have to undo the thread to free it.
Load More Replies...Sure, but it's only an inch deep, then you get to the zipper seam.
Load More Replies...I've got a pair of these And I can't remember which ones are real and which are fake!
There may be a thread inside that, if pulled, would open the pocket. As a seamstress, it's easier to put a zipper in place if the seam is sewn shut. I usually go back and open the seam, but apparently, the manufacturer didn't see the need.
Yes! Several times I've been delighted to discover real, functional pockets in garments I own, usually by accidentally pulling that thread.
Load More Replies...Sometimes there is no actual flap for a false pocket to make it into a real pocket.
