People Are Sharing The Worst Fashion Fails They’ve Ever Seen And They’re Hilarious (50 New Pics)
Just like we don't eat gourmet dishes for every meal, we don't dress up for every occasion as if it had a black-tie dress code. Sometimes we just need calories in our stomachs and sweatpants might be the ideal candidate for stuffing our faces with mac and cheese.
However, some clothing items are so off, you probably wouldn't even wear them if nobody was watching. We at Bored Panda have already showcased such atrocities in our previous publications here, here, and here, but the fashion industry keeps producing them, so we decided to shame them one more time.
From little annoyances like ultra-small pockets to design fails that make tie-dye socks look like they were dragged through poo, continue scrolling and check out the funniest Spring collection.

In Case You’ve Ever Wondered Why Women Get So Frustrated With Our Clothing Sizes - Every Pair Of Jeans Pictured Is A Size 12
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH....when the struggle is real!!! And let's not forget the no pockets or false pockets
They're both awful, but fake pockets are just sadistic. Lol.

Not just women's that does vanity sizing. A men's 30 inch waist can be anything from 28 to 40 depending on the brand.
And don't get me started on 'small, medium, large...' most arbitrary thing ever.

I used to work with a woman who was previously employed by a big discount fashion retailer. She explained to me that when they cut patterns (this is particularly applicable for jeans) they put the fabric in huge piles on a belt. When the "cuttter" would come down to cut out the pattern, the slice of fabric on top would have the smallest size and the slice of fabric on the bottom would have the largest size as a result of compression. They were all sold as a "Size 12" for those batches. Made sense to me, but still was surprising.
A man here. A while back I was buying jeans. Got two pairs of different colors, same size, the same well known brand. One pair fit perfectly, the other I couldn't even close the zip.
This may sound weird but it's possible that each pair was made in a different country with slightly different sizing standards. I've had the exact same thing happen and when I double checked the label, the country of origin was not the same.

This is why online clothes shopping has become unpleasant. Will it fit? It's my size, but who knows right?
I got a pair that fit and had pockets. I then ordered a second pair but in another color ... It didn't fit and there were no pockets.
I really believe the fashion industry is run by extraterrestrials with poor understanding of human anatomy and a major hate for humans, especially female.

Same with bras..I have 34s that measure at 31. Like that is tight! When you measure at 34 inches under boobs htf is a 31 inch at 3 inches shorter supposed to fit without cutting off circulation. Expensive too. Even buying those extenders and they're still tight.
I have given up finding a bra that is comfortable and fits. I own a small ranch, and am walking, cleaning out the stalls, riding, stacking hay etc. etc. every single day. I HATE BRAS THAT RIDE UP. I am about a 36 B or so and only wear sports bras. They aren't perfect but the best I can find. I am about to do what they did to Carrie Fisher in STAR WARS with her white costume...they actually put gaffer's tape on her instead of a bra!

Not one single woman I know wants a lot of what fashion designers think we want. Many times we just don’t have a better choice so nothing ever changes.
That's why I always go to one store. I also know of a place that makes jeans tailored to your body.

Mens jeans are usually measured in inches, waist and leg (in the US) but are still never accurate or consistent.
In tops, I've seen cute little crop tops that would obviously be for a teenager or pre-teen marked as XL. Then I come across something that is way too big for me, also marked XL.
Showing this to all my male friends because they always ask why i get mad oved fake pockets
Yeah but like.... all of those are different styles of jeans. Some are high rise. Some are low rise. Some are ultra high rise. I mean, I agree. Sizing is bananas for women... but like... cmon... atleast be transparent when trying to prove a point.
Yep and it also makes you feel fat when you buy a size that is made too small. It should be standardized.
The 3 smaller pair are probably Junior Size 12 while the bigger ones are Adult Size 12.
And God forbid you're trying to find Plus Size jeans! If they fit in the waist, they're super baggy in the legs or they're perfect in the legs but too tight on the hips, it's a constant struggle!
I'm a size 12 and this example is PERFECT! I guess on some places on the planet, they aren't sure about how to make a pair of pants with a pattern. GOOD GRIEF!
WTF! However, I think that most jeans/sizes coming from China are really messed up! hah
The amount of time it takes for us to find a comfy pair that's a perfect fit is unreal. Not to mention it should have pockets, but pockets are for lucky ladies lol
I'm UK 6 in some shops, 8 in others. Tops need to be a bit longer too, for long torso freaks like me.
The size difference is crazy, I'm from the UK and depending which shop I purchase my jeans from I range from a size 8-12, and they wonder why we obsess over weight.
It's ridiculous that everyone has to put up these insane clothing issues
I had tried on a medium-sized pair of shorts yesterday from a clothing line that I wasn't familiar with and thought I had ballooned. The sizing was beyond bizarre. I have an athletic build, and I couldn't even button the shorts. It made me feel horrible. I have so much trouble finding jeans, trousers, and shorts that fit more athletic builds.
Some of those could be stretch elastic spray on pants. Men don’t wear stuff like that so our stuff is more consistent. I mean women complain and yet I don’t see straight men dominating women’s fashion so I wonder whose to blame.
To be fair, that bottom pair is probably size 12 children's. No way that's size 12 women's. That is not a size 12 waist.
Could be women's. I'm a size 10 and some of my tight jeans look crazy small. When my husband is putting away laundry he often put them with my 8yo daughters clothes. They are not really comfortable (pants) but they stretch a lot.

Just like cups for soda or length of music on a CD, every measure will be different. No one is thinking directly about you. They are looking to make something cheap and sell it high. You can't possibly tell me this is news when you've had this in your face for YEARS!

Function before fashion. Just put functional pockets in all clothes, regardless of assigned gender.
The fashion industry is huge. Around the world, people buy about 80 billion new clothing items per year. But it has way more problems than employing designers who don't know what they're doing.
For starters, of all American buyers’ total yearly clothing consumption, 85 percent ends up as waste in landfills.
And fast fashion is a big reason why—the term describes the quick production of inexpensive clothing to keep up with rapidly changing fashion trends.

Take Zara for example. The popular brand boasts a business model that produces over 20 different collections per year—meaning that on average, the business churns out new clothing pieces every five weeks or so.
Then there's Fashion Nova, a California-based fashion company that creates relatively inexpensive womenswear and releases more than 600 items per week on its platform.

However, brands also often outsource their manufacturing processes overseas in an attempt to lower the cost of production, in part by avoiding paying minimum wage to domestic workers.
Subcontracting this labor promotes hazardous, unhealthy, and below-standard working conditions in low- and middle-income countries.

Currently, fashion brands operating in the US face little regulatory intervention.
But activists, policymakers, and community members are calling for greater accountability for these companies to reform the quality and safety of their manufacturing methods.

And luckily there have been some changes. In response to sustainability concerns, for instance, the New York Senate introduced the New York Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act, which would mandate that retailers and manufacturers publish their social and environmental policies online. The bill would require businesses to implement more sustainable processes on supply chains.
If passed it would be the first in the United States to require fashion companies to address their social and environmental shortcomings.

The Old Continent, however, seems to be more willing to tackle these issues. The European Commission aims to put an end to fast fashion by 2030 in an announcement introducing a mandatory minimum use of recycled fibers and banning companies from sending any unsold clothing and textile products to landfills.
Under the new expansion of the EU’s existing eco-design rules, which set down energy efficiency standards for consumer goods such as toasters and washing machines, companies operating in the region will have to include a certain amount of recycled content in their goods, or curb the use of materials that make them hard to recycle.
The EU also plans to force large fashion companies to disclose how much unsold stock they send to landfills as well as improve global labor conditions in the garment industry.

“The products we use every day need to last,” said Frans Timmermans, the vice president of the European Commission. “If products break we should be able to fix them.”
I don't know about you, but I think the world would be a better place without most of these clothing items we see on the list. Sure, it's nice to have a laugh at baseball caps with broken English all over them but do we really need to make a truckload of these absurdities every few weeks?
