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.

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.
