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.

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.

I just found out 10 minutes ago that woman's pants pockets are fake. I thought that was some kind of meme/myth or something. Why indeed?

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.

I get these. It's an stylistic choice. You have the proper pockets (look closely), then you have this for design.

Wouldn't it be cheaper for the manufacturer NOT to put a zipper in? Btw, is that a pocket under it?

Often these are real pockets, they're just stitched closed so the clothes are easier to press and transport. Get yourself a seam ripper and open them up.

People shouldn't have to do repair or finishing work on brand new retail garments, especially if clothes meant for one group of people consistently lack features that clothes meant for another group do not lack.

Yes, what a previous poster said, check to see if there is an actual pocket, sometimes you have to open them up, with a seam ripper, or scissors. .

Apparently you're supposed to take out the stitches and there's magically a pocket there, and the reason why the stitch it up is because the want the pockets to look nIcE aND FLaT

It's actually a toy and its accessories in a carrying tote. It is meant to look like a purse, but not function like a purse. It's also about $50 American. For a giant plastic poop toy purse.
