Try Not To Stare At These Embarrassing Clothing Design Fails

It's not what it looks like

Via Pinterest.

Most of the time, our clothing is boring and totally free of patterns that could be construed as "dirty" in any way. However, once in a while an article of clothing appears that looks... not quite right. These are those clothing design fails! Take a look.

Every Woman's Worst Beach Day Fear

Via dailyplug.com.

Being a woman is hard, especially because our monthly "visitor" sometimes appears out of nowhere when we're least expecting her. Now you can experience all of the shock and embarrassment of getting your period early simply by slipping on this hilariously WRONG bikini bottom. Isn't that just super terrific news?

As if we weren't already traumatized enough by those hideous hairy chest bathing suits, now there's this monstrosity. No Thanks.

The JC Penney "Period Skirt"

Via jcpenney.com.

No, this isn't a Photoshop disaster; it's an actual skirt that's for sale by retailer JC Penney. When a Twitter user noticed that the skirt looked a lot like a menstruation accident, the image quickly went viral.

In a refreshingly transparent move, JC Penney responded to the controversy with one perfect tweet that let the world know that they were in on the joke, but still enjoy (and want to sell) the skirt in question:


"We think it's a fab skirt for any time of the month. Period."

Nicely done!

Did she sit in something on the subway, have a little post-Chipotle accident, or is that just how this dress is supposed to look? Whatever the cause may be, how embarrassing.

Mutant Kitty Says Hi

Via Twitter @_iStorm_.

The socks looked fine in the packaging, but when you put them on they get all kinds of funked up. Poor little kitty looks like he just landed a spaceship in your yard and wants to be taken to your leader.

Whoa, We Did "Nazi" That Coming

Via reddit u/jaydubtoggies

Hope you never plan to zip this hoodie up! Most of these design fails won't get you fired or beaten up for wearing them, but this one? Yeah, wearing this one is going to get your ass kicked. Usually the kind of guys who wear this kind of symbol wear a different color hood, if you know what I'm saying.

There you have it; 20 articles of clothing that were so badly designed that they will make people do a double-take, and not in a good way. Let's all resolve to try on our clothes before leaving the store from now on!

Speaking of design fails....
