Once in a while, an outfit might make you do a double take because it looks so unusual and quirky that you just can’t help but stop and stare for a second.
It can be someone wearing pants with large fruits printed on them, or a slogan on a T-shirt in a clothing store that makes absolutely no sense.
Fashion has many sides, and one of them is definitely humor.
Whether it’s intentionally designed by the brands or a fashion faux-pas, Bored Panda has curated a list of the funniest fashion fails that will leave you in splits.
It might even make you question whether fashion even has any rules anymore or not.

It's not to bad. When I worked at a bookstore we got these tshirts to wear over our uniform to promote True Blood. The front had a picture from the show, but it also had the words: Would you like a bit in the upper left. On us ladies, the words would fall exactly on our b**b.

S21 Ultra In My Wife's Jeans vs. My 18-Month-Old Son's Joggers
LakotaWolf (she/her) 20 hours ago
And this, dear Pandas, is why I buy men's jeans and men's cargo shorts XD I have never found a single pair of "women's" pants/jeans that will actually hold anything normal in its pockets. And I don't even have a big/newer phone, I have an old iPhone SE XD

@LakotaWolf: you are absolutely right. I like to attach my comment to another BP here, because the older I get the more it infuriates me that I had to put up with the ridiculous offer what women's pockets should look like - me being a kid of the 90s/00s and "Miss Sixty" was THE jeans to wear. They always looked wonky on me, because my calfs were too thick due to sports (and please forget about all the being-a-size-0-otherwise-you-are-fat-stick). So here we come:

Why do women's clothing makers do this? Do they give a reason? Are big pockets un-feminine or something? I'd genuinely like to know the reasoning, if any, behind this.

The only thing I can think of is that they assume we all carry purses or handbags. I never carry one so this assumption is incorrect and infuriating.

Well on the other hand, women get to have the giant handbags without being looked at strangely, and those handbags are massive. Now the issue with large pockets is when stuff falls out because there's too much space
Serena Myers 9 hours ago
As a retired woman in the UK, I wear what are known as cargo pants in the UK. No need to wear skirts anymore, so trousers do me just fine when I need to go to the post office or supermarket. A pocket for my mobile, a pocket for my key, (I only take the front door key with me) a pocket for my (tiny) purse, a pocket for my watch, etc. Has worked well so far, I don't appear to be carrying anything of value, and youngsters who "want to know the time while having their faces stuffed onto their phones 5 seconds earlier" see that I'm not wearing any jewellery or a watch and I'm old so not worth bothering about. This is in daylight, mind you. I would not take any chances after dark!

Couldn't Work Out Why I Was Getting So Many Odd Looks While Shopping This Afternoon
Then Got home & noticed Will Ferrell peeking out of my Cardigan.
Misplaced wording or slogans in strange spots on t-shirts, weird prints on pants, excessive fringe, sequins, or feathers on your jacket — sometimes, designers throw logic out of the window in favor of bold creativity.
Some people deliberately spend money on quirky fashion trends, which requires a certain level of confidence that not everyone possesses.
Fashion experts say we should own our choices and wear the clothes with pride if we want to pull off unconventional styles.
But at the same time, people should learn how to balance creativity and logic — in case you decide to wear a bright shirt with bold patterns, try to pair it with plain pants and simple shoes so your outfit doesn’t look too overwhelming.

The Design On This Guys Shirt Makes Him Look Like He Is Walking Around With A Massive Wedgie
Ejteh 9 hours ago
I don't know why you were downvoted. I thought the same thing! Take my upvote 🙂
Load More Replies... Sometimes we also choose clothes that are fun or have a personal meaning, because style is not always about looking perfect.
For example, maybe you wear a ridiculous t-shirt all day long to the mall because you made a bet with someone, or you bought socks with silly patterns that make you laugh.
Or maybe you love watermelons so much that watermelon pants might feel like the perfect fit.
Our fashion choices can tell stories about us and what makes us happy. Or perhaps, sometimes people wear such clothes in public just to make others smile, or even confuse them.
After all, fashion — just like art — is a form of self-expression.

My Son Just Got This Shirt As A Gift. So Far, He Likes The Reactions He Is Getting
Chelle Jones 16 hours ago
Yep.. his face is just filled with joy. I think it's the parent who is enjoying the reactions.
There are some brands that also go out of their way to make their logos or clothes funny and ironic. It can be inside jokes for a certain demographic of people, or a commentary on glamorous fashion labels.
When Balenciaga released their absurdly over-priced towel skirt, Ikea trolled them by promoting its affordable bath towel as a skirt and “spring fashion essential.”
It led to online conversations about overpriced products by certain brands and how ridiculous some of their clothes are.
Humor in fashion also gives us some food for thought, and these unusual designs can often start bigger conversations about trends and culture.

Wearing quirky and unusual clothes that suit your personal style can also make you feel more positive.
Research shows that the colors or styles you choose can impact how you feel, for example bright colors are linked to positive mood.
We also reinforce our group identities by wearing styles linked with our culture or communities — for example leather jackets for bikers, or hoodies for students that can make people feel a sense of belonging.

“The future of fashion is leaning towards a greater emphasis on individuality and humor. As society becomes more accepting of diverse styles and expressions, the fashion industry is evolving to celebrate uniqueness and creativity,” Ilgary Studio notes in its blog.
The studio says some of the most surprising trends that worked are those that looked funny at first, but somehow they caught the attention of fashion lovers and became a hit.
“With the right attitude and a touch of creativity, any fashion mistake can be transformed into a stylish and memorable statement,” it adds.
