40+ Photos We Found Online Of People Who Took DIY Fashion A Little Too Far

Have you ever woken up late, thrown your clothes on to get to work, and then realized later that you put two different colored socks on? If you have experienced that then maybe these shoes just aren’t for you.

After all, these see-through heels will make that situation even more awkward. On top of wearing see-through heels, this person is also opting to wear socks with heels which is another way to push the boundaries of fashion. And not in a good way!

Having prints on bathing suits is not a new trend. In fact, many of the cutest fashion trends over the past several decades have been prints. One of the most popular prints out there is of animals but what you see believe is not what we’re referring to!

The swimsuit designer behind this one-of-a-kind piece went one step further and just made the suit out of the animal itself. We hope these are just models and not the real thing. Plus, who in their right mind would wear such a thing?

One way to make yourself stand out is to have specialty nails done. This can be shown through a particular color, a unique graphic, or even a different length. So, when it comes to unique designs, there is a wide range of options.

This person wanted to have a little taste of the sea and decided it might be fun to wear oyster stick-on nails. But this is just a little too out there, and it seems like it might be a safety hazard.

Ramen Noodles are good! If you’ve ever gone through a time of life where you struggled with money, you probably ate quite a bit of this easy to prepare and cheap food.

But no matter how many packages you have eaten, we are pretty sure that you would not consider wearing it. So, this guy must have really been into Ramen because he decided it was the perfect ensemble to run down to the mini-mart in.

Dressing up your pet is nothing new, and it is something that a lot of pet owners love to do. It used to be that mostly you just saw dogs wearing clothes, but now many people are deciding that cats look just as cute dressed up.

This person wanted to make sure that their cat was outfitted for the summer months and decided the best way to do that was to crochet a swimsuit. Maybe it’s the extra bikini top cups but we just feel like this is taking things to a weird level.

Fancy socks are a big trend with a lot of guys. They often pair them whimsically with suits or even business casual ensembles to show a little bit more of their personality. Sometimes though, you should just stick with the tried and true patterns.

These meat socks maybe something different but are also totally inappropriate for almost any outfit. We can only see these socks working in one way, and that is if you are a butcher.

We all have our favorite actors or actresses, and sometimes we like to show our love for them by wearing graphics on our clothing. Typically though, those graphics reside on shirts or even patches.

Having Steve Buscemi all over your lower half in the form of these leggings is not quite as cool as this person thinks it is. Maybe they should have stuck to just wearing those cliche graphic tees… Anything is better than this!

One of the most frustrating things about having long hair is that you have to continually fight to keep it out of your face when it tends to get windy. This is why many people resort to ponytails or headbands.

This person, though, had an ingenious idea and chose to distress her jacket in such a way that she could use it almost as if it was a hair tie. Though we do appreciate the out-the-box thinking, we still feel that maybe it’s a little too far out of the norm.

Have you ever spent all day in a pair of cowboy boots? If you have, then you know that inevitably your feet sweat quite a bit, and typically by the day’s end, you’re in heaps of pain. So we can see why someone thought this was a good idea in theory.

But in reality, the finished result did not quite foot the bill. In fact, it only made the person wearing these look like they were trying a little too hard. We’re also getting gladiator vibes from this and not in a good way!

Most of the time, wearing a see-through garment will be a little too revealing for everyday errands. But the designer of these see-through plastic pants clearly didn’t feel that way. Maybe it’s just a layer of protection before painting, but we feel that this person is committing a fashion crime.

Also, if it is true that this to just to help with a paint job, then what is the excuse for those shoes? No matter which way you look at this outfit, it will never be cute. We know we sound harsh but hey, it’s kind of our job!

Some people like to leave a mark. This, when it comes to fashion, often means incorporating novelty pieces into their wardrobe. Unfortunately, this person took that idea of standing out in a very unsavory direction.

There are not many people that could get away with carrying around a purse that looks like a chicken. Rihanna can make just about any fashion trend work and even she would struggle to make this look good.

Another place that a person can get a little fun into their fashion is with accessories. One of the easiest, of course, is the earring, and you are probably well aware that there are tons of fun little stores that sell novelty earrings.

But these little toilet paper roll earrings that this person crafted just cannot and will not ever be fashion-forward. After all, toilet paper is associated with going to the bathroom and that is something that is most definitely unrelated to fashion.

These little silica packets have a purpose, of course, and that is to maintain moisture within the package. That is it! They’re definitely not designed to be worn as a fashion statement.

While we like the out-the-box thinking behind this creation, we’re struggling to wrap our brains around this look. What are your thoughts on it? We’re trying to be open to interpretation since maybe we’re judging it too harshly.

A lot of adult beverages come in specialty bottles or packaging, and many people like to collect them. One of the most popular might just be that purple velvet bag that we all have seen in countless places.

This person thought it would be a good idea to take all the bags that they had and sew them into a jacket. All this does, though, is show the world that maybe they may have a slight problem…

Office attire can get boring, so we can understand why people would want to find a way to spice things up. Or in this case, slither it up! While we can appreciate people trying to be creative with their accessories, there also has to be a limit.

Snake image tights are where we draw the line. Not only would these probably scare your colleagues and customers but we just don’t see the cool factor to them. The only time these would work is on Halloween!

The exact words we thought to ourselves when we saw this ugly shoe trend on the runway was “WTF! (aka What the Fashion!)” Apologies to those of you who think this is cool because we will never begin to understand why high-end brands are catching on to this.

Those of you who look at these odd and overly-priced shoes in shock, we hear you, we appreciate you and we’re totally with you. As for the rest of you, you should probably get your eyes checked.

Making your own jewelry is a big trend nowadays and a great hobby if you are into that sort of thing. Also, many online marketplaces sell handmade jewelry that has both classic pieces as well as novelty ones.

Though we don’t even know if these spider earrings fit in the novelty category ― they look a little too real and this could lead to some major issues if someone near you is deathly afraid of spiders. So we suggest you don’t take the risk!

Remember when you were little, and people used to make fun of you for having those chicken legs. Now someone thought it was a good idea to create socks that have actual chicken legs on them. Not sure this is going to be a trendsetter!

For a fun gag, having these socks or leggings could be a humorous thing, but if you’re trying to wear them to work or just to run errands in, you may want to rethink this fashion choice.

Sometimes it is just a pain to get up and get dressed to head out to run all your errands. It is so much easier just to throw on a pair of shoes and be able to head out the door with whatever you have on, and that may be where this fashion idea came from.

Robe fashion is a thing, and though it looks very comfortable (maybe a little hot), it definitely is a little far out there for most people. Perhaps a silk one or a kimono would be the stylish solution!

Taking a casual style and dressing it up is not a big stretch when it comes to fashion. Athleisure has been a buzzword for quite a while now. However, when putting your outfit together, you have to understand when to use it and when not to.

This person is not necessarily executing the fashion trend poorly, it just seems a little too dressy for the situation. Maybe if they had gone with a little lower of a heel, this look might have panned out.

The fact of the matter is that there is a way that you can wear denim on denim. But it’s all about the way in which you style it which as you can clearly see here, wasn’t done well. What is that denim headpiece? We’re getting wizard hat vibes…

While normally we would recommend pairing two different denim shades together to achieve a cool look, technically this outfit has contrasting colors and it still looks horrid. We’re gonna blame the added pieces for this fashion failure.

Ripped-up jeans and other pieces of apparel are nothing new. However, when you are choosing to make your own distressed look, you have to be careful of what you use and how you cut it up.

This guy was going for a distressed top look, and unfortunately, the way that it panned out just looks like he cut his sweater on a barbed-wire fence or something. All in favor of never seeing this again? We hope you said “I.”

The distressed look doesn’t only pertain to ribbed clothing. It also has to do with choosing dyes and techniques to make the clothing look more lived in. That is why many denim choices have an almost dirt-like wash.

Many people have tried to utilize this technique to create their own, especially with denim jeans. Unfortunately, sometimes they take the dirtying up process a little too far. What do you think?

Sometimes the people taking fashion a little too far are not only consumers but also the designers themselves. So, when two companies decide to merge their products, it can almost seem like the product ends up being just that.

Take, for instance, when Ugg’s and Teva teamed up together to create these unique sandals. Trying to combine them with an outfit may be challenging since they are tragic looking and make you look flat-footed.

You can do a lot with nails, but sometimes there is a point where it becomes too much and somewhat of a nuisance. From having extended nails that curl around to intricate nail art, you may find that being too individualistic could cause problems in your everyday life.

This person clearly has a thing for mermaids and decided to attempt to give themselves a mermaid-style nail. Unfortunately, it just looks like something that is going to wind up hurting someone in the end.

Crocheting can be a great way to spend your downtime as well as make sure that you are ready for any gift-giving holiday that comes around. Using your skills, you can create scarves, blankets, gloves, and apparently even little purses.

We’re not sure what inspired this person to craft a mouth-style purse, but it was not a good idea when it comes to fashion accessories. Maybe they should have just stayed with the simpler scarf idea. If it ain’t broke then don’t fix it, right?

When you get the hang of crocheting, sometimes you go a little outside of the box when figuring out your next project. For this designer, probably the partner of the man donning these short shorts, this meant venturing into clothing design.

Not only did they crochet a pair of short shorts, but these shorts were fitted with a pocket as well. Though it may be pushing fashion a little too far, we’re sure that these shorts sure do breathe well.

When you are a designer, inspiration hits you at the most unexpected times. Of course, this inspiration can also be spurred on by almost anything. Apparently, this designer may have been watching Tom and Jerry when they all of a sudden had this fashion epiphany.

Though we are sure some people find mice very cute, we are also confident that many of those individuals would still not want to don this interesting mice necklace. Or is it a bib? Either way, it’s a fashion no-no!

You can do a lot of cool things with your nails. From decals to the actual placement of accenting touches, if you are patient, you can make sure that your nails stand out among the crowd. This could also be a great way to round out your outfit.

This person wanted to show that they were very much into herbal medicine. To do this, they may have taken it a bit too far by embedding their herbal medicine of choice into their fingernails. Ummm, gross!

On a light, breezy day, there’s nothing like throwing on a good hoodie so that you can break the chill and still look fashionable. But having a hoodie that has no body and literally just has sleeves and a hood seems a little counterproductive.

Though this may be a trend that was pretty popular, you can’t help but wonder about its functionality. After all, fashion should also serve a purpose. Or are we sounding a little too old-school?

Many women love to don heels as it makes them not only taller but also accentuates their legs for a better overall look. However, most platforms are already difficult enough to walk in, so we cannot imagine having ones that don’t have heels.

When you’re trying to look a little more dressed up, adding a pair of heels is always a good idea. However, we do think that jumping on this no-heel-heels trend might be pushing yourself a little too far out of the box.

Just like with denim, camo on camo is not a great idea if you’re trying to establish a good fashion image. Also, anyone who is rocking an entire outfit made in the camouflage print will definitely not blend in.

This look is just pushing the camouflage trend a little too far, and to execute it properly, one needs to pull back a little bit, choosing one or maybe two pieces that have a camouflage vibe.

Most of us didn’t love our high school days, so while we know that there are school uniform-inspired looks out there, we don’t really subscribe to them. So, with that being said, you can take a wild guess at how we feel about these school shoes.

Maybe it’s the high socks that are making it worse but we just can’t seem to appreciate this look because it’s bringing us back to those dreaded school days. On an unrelated side note, we love that Burberry coat!

There are a lot of interesting designs that are shown on the runways across the globe. But just because something is made doesn’t mean it’s necessarily ideal for wearing out and about. That is what we think of when we look at this jacket.

Hugs are nice when you receive one in real life, but donning a jacket that looks like somebody is continually hugging you may be pushing the ideas of fashion just a little too far.

We think every one of us can enjoy a humorous graphic design even when it comes to those that are placed on our clothing. That is why these leggings are so funny, however, we’re not sure they’re meant to be worn out and about.

The placement of these men is just perfect, and we’re sure that was the intention of the garment. But like we said above, wearing it out on a day of errands seems to us like you’re maybe pushing the joke a little too far.

Pushing the limit is something that a lot of celebrities do. One of the biggest ways they do this is through their fashion on the red carpets, and sometimes it works. But, unfortunately, it doesn’t always. And it’s especially shocking when a well-known designer misses the mark.

We hope you get our pun because the person donning this lacy jumper is none other than Mr. Marc Jacobs. We’re sorry dear Marc but this look is a little too revealing and unflattering for our taste.

Shoulder tops are perpetually in style, especially in the spring and summer months. They allow a little skin to show without showing too much and can lend quite the addition to your look. But we’re not sure about this exaggerated version of that concept.

Having a jacket that has the shoulders rips to this extent just seems counterproductive to us. Especially since most jackets are used to keep warm, and without the top parts of the shoulders, there will be no warmth in this jacket.

There is a time and place for fringe as well as a limit to how much of it should be used in an outfit. So, adding fringe to already distressed denim jeans seems a little repetitive and confusing when it comes to style.

These jeans rock a bell bottom flare, and then presumably, to keep with the ’70s vibe, the designer added in fringe ringlets around the calf. We don’t know about you, but we feel that maybe they should have stuck to just one fashion trend.

Layering is a great trick to create perception when it comes to styling your personal fashion. By using layering, you can also prepare for any type of climate, which is handy and multi-purposeful!

But sometimes, layering can be taken too far and just look frumpy. For instance, this person is rocking pink high heels with denim jeans and a lace tulle skirt over. The end result looks like this person couldn’t decide between a pair of jeans or a skirt…

Some people just like quirky designs. These people tend to dress head to toe in unique patterns and colors. Frequently they also extend their quirkiness to their nail art. Though sometimes this seems even stranger than their ensembles.

This person must really love corn, otherwise, why would they have spent the time getting their nails done to mimic the cobs of the delicious vegetable? This might be cute for a kid, but it just seems a little out there and unsavory for an adult.

Having distressed or ripped-up garments is not unheard of. In fact, many people use this as one of their own fashion looks to help develop their own personal style. Typically though, this distressed design is done without a uniform pattern.

That may be why we think this person who is trying to create their own look fell short of making it actually work. The repetitive nature of the holes just doesn’t quite scream “trend.” If anything, it screams “take me off!”

A lot of women’s pants are created without pockets or with pockets that are too shallow. Of course, this is already a major issue, and so when we saw these pocketless jeans, we were just a little flummoxed.

Why anybody would choose to try to make this look happen, we don’t know. One thing is for sure though, this person may have stepped a little too far out of bounds.

When you head to the mall to find a jacket, typically, you’re looking for something that will cover you up and keep you warm. Sure there are fashion pieces that are a little bit more Avant-garde, but even still, this seems like a strange design.

The only questions we have are where is the rest of this jacket, and what purpose does this fashion choice have? This just seems a little futile and unsettling to us.

Novelty pieces can sometimes be very fun, but they can also be tragic failures. The last thing a woman wants in a swimsuit is a novelty gag. Even though most people are fully aware of this, somehow, someone decided to make this swimsuit.

This design is definitely taking things one step too far. It might be funny to wear this at home as a gag, but there is no way you would catch us wearing it at the neighborhood pool party. After all, most females don’t find being so hairy fashionable.

Having a wardrobe that uses accents of spikes and metal can be very cool if that’s your style. But most of the time, those are just accents and not a whole shirt of chainmail! This top seems a little strange and uncomfortable to us.

Unless you’re a heavy metal musician or someone into cosplay, we don’t see how this would work when you’re out and about running errands. We’re gonna have to move this garment from the everyday wear pile to that of dress-up.
