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.

That's not a fail. It's hilarious. I hope they were good sports and wore them.

I Thought She Was Wearing A Black Dress And Hands On Her Hips

Lannart Report

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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!

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.

Many "mens" clothes work really well for me, and they have pockets. And they are often cheaper and sturdier. example track pants. and yes i actually have a very full figure very fem figure.

I can't wear men's clothes because of my waist to hip ratio. I've got an hourglass figure and without major tailoring, they are either too tight in the hips to get up or they fall off because they are so loose in the waist. Grats to women who can wear them though!

This needs to be way higher. Women NEED pockets that actually function as pockets. Not tiny pouches, or worse yet, fake pockets so it just looks like there are pockets. Ugh.

I recently participated in a Kickstarter for the inauguration of a brand of women's jeans that have actual deep pockets! I can put my phone in a front pocket and the entire phone is out of sight. It's just amazing to have enough room in pockets in women's jeans -- all it takes is a bit of thought put into the design. I hope the brand catches on big!

I'd like to know when and WHY someone decided women's pockets should be those useless stubby, crappy things! I can remember in my youth actually having working pockets, now they are almost impossible to find. Maybe completely impossible as I haven't found any in years.
