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.

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.

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.

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.
