30+ Questionable fashion choices that definitely made people stand out

Your clothing can reveal a lot about your personality without you saying a word. However, some fashion choices miss the mark entirely—definitely not the kind you'd want to show off in public.

Here are a few individuals who clearly have a passion for style, but unfortunately, their fashion sense falls short.

Have you ever thought about wearing sandals without showing any skin on your feet?

Neither had I, but apparently, someone decided this was a smarter choice than simply going with closed-toe shoes.

Certain things are just better left apart:

Ketchup with chocolate ice cream; battery acid paired with Brussels sprouts; and a Nike running shoe that tries to combine laces with high heels.

Here's the deal: bare feet are usually a welcome sight, but socks and shoes give us the luxury of keeping them hidden.

So why would anyone ruin that by wearing socks covered in foot prints?

I can't help but picture this guy at home, downing 100 cans of Pepsi every day, hoping to collect enough tabs to finally finish the matching pants for his shirt.

That’s an incredible amount of sugary soda.

If you believed Crocs were just for toddlers at the beach and grandmas tending their gardens, you wouldn't be wrong.

Still, that hasn’t stopped some folks from attempting to turn them into a fashion statement.

Someone decided to cover a dead beetle's body in a thick layer of glue and then turn it into a necklace.

But creating a shirt-and-pants collage of her face might not be the best approach.

While these may not belong in a classic horror film, it's still pretty unsettling to imagine someone actually coming up with the idea of sticking googly eyes on shoes—and then going ahead with it.

Brown, splotchy patterning is, in general, a faux-pas when designing a garment.

Putting that brown, splotchy pattern down the center of a dress back takes the cake for worst pattern use.

What was supposed to be a cute, creative use of a heart symbol turned into a moderately rude (but still loving?) assessment of their child's intelligence.

Not only is the button in the worst placement possible for this shirt, but the three-dimensional shadowing on the shirt really makes it a true nightmare.

No amount of love for vinyl could make me wear this.

But it's kind of ruined when you put the most obnoxious zipper of all time through it.

In general, I would not recommend wearing a dress to go swimming.

But you definitely should not attempt to go for a dip while wearing a dress with brown accents.

A patterned dress might look really good on the rack, but you should always make sure the pattern translates nicely when worn on a body.

Just so you don't end up looking like this.

I'm so confused as to how someone is supposed to wear it. Do they put it on as shorts and stick as much of their arms into the sleeves as possible?

Or do they wear it as a shirt with their torso in one pant leg?

We can't, either.
