8 fashion fails that will make you shake your head

The saying goes that the clothes make the man. But in the age of social media, the clothes make the meme.

For a culture obsessed with checking ourselves out in the mirror, we are still very capable of incredibly embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions. But one person’s fashion faux pas is our chuckle of the day. What follows are pictures of clothing fails that really missed the mark—but really made our days in the meantime.

Here are a few of the highlights (or should we call them lowlights?):

1. Words Matter

When you want to wear a shirt with words on it, be sure to do a few things first.

First of all, check your placement:

Thanks for the advice from CrappyDesign

2. Proofreading Helps

Two, check your placement. No, really. Check it again.

(Warning: A curse word follows in the image below. It’s a rather innocuous but a curse word nonetheless, in case that kind of thing offends you!)

3. Google Is Your Friend

By all means, when making a T-shirt, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got your facts straight:

No, not quite from funny

4. Really, Make Sure You Fact-Check

Per the point above, you really should fact-check clothing before you sell it. Because those who do not learn history are doomed to wear stupid bro-tanks:

Lincoln hadn’t even been born yet… from CrappyDesign

5. Even Phone A Friend If You Have To

Because not all male musicians with long, blonde hair look identical. We swear:

My dad’s in Bangkok and sent me a picture of this rare Nirvana shirt he found. from funny

6. Remember, Not All Large Exotic Animals Are The Same

Close… but not quite.

Walmart never fails to fail

 

7. And Don’t Forget To Use The Mirror!

Before you step out on the town, take a quick peek in a mirror. You know, just in case Will Ferrell is popping out of your cardigan in a terrifying manner:

Couldn’t work out why I was getting so many odd looks while shopping this afternoon….. Then Got home & noticed Will Ferrell peeking out of my Cardigan from funny

8. And Maybe Check Your Backside, Too:

Note to designers: Here’s what not to do when designing a shirt.
