Fancy Dressers Who Left Taste at Home
Fashion designers won't admit it, but a lot of what they do is really trial and error until something sticks. Or at least, that's how it used to work. You might not see a lot of risks being taken in fashion these days, and that's because they risked it all in the previous decades, making some really era-defining outfits that are remembered to this day.
But to reach that point, you have to try many different things, and not all of them are going to look good. In fact, lots of them are going to be ridiculous, and there's nothing you can do about it. With some luck, that ridiculous outfit can become a staple in a TV show or clothing with a special message beyond its absurdity. Worst-case scenario, it's forgotten forever, or not so forever, since we're talking about this right now.
Here are some fancy dressers who left taste at home, but they thought they looked so cool at the time.
