Are there really people out there who want to wear something like that? Leper/burn victim is the new trend, huh? Got a worse one? What is the absolute worst item of clothing youā€™ve seen in your lifetime. Letā€™s leave out extreme corset of bygone days, or one-offs like the Lady Gaga Meat dress. Iā€™m looking for things that somebody actually thought we might wear. ---

[The Low Crotch Jean](http://www.stylecaster.com/shop/product/31962/miss-sixty-denim-buttoned-low-crotch-cropped-jeans) has got to be pretty close to the top of the list.

Sure, you \*can \*do it. Off the top of my head though, I can think of about eight hundred things Iā€™d rather spend my time doing than sewing. FYI, that list includes things like ā€œgoing to the dentistā€ and ā€œhaving my annual performance reviewā€. Bravo to the DIYers, but itā€™s not for everyone. ---

I hate those pants with the ā€œcuteā€ words on the ass. Especially if worn by an eight year old. They force the eyes to travel there, and then innocent bystanders catch themselves looking at someoneā€™s ass. ---

My mom is a sewing maniac and used to tailor my pants for me, but it never worked very well for a multitude of reasons (the fact that I hate having visible darts and adjusted pockets which always looked kinda dorky, the type of shirts I like to wear [not long ones], my body proportions, etc). When I can buy low-rise stretch jeans off the rack that work quite well without alterations, Iā€™ve never seen the point of buying ill-fitting ones to tailor. ---

The hanging crotch jeans would be the worst even if they werenā€™t far and away the most expensive, but that price is insult added to injury. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/worst-clothing-item-ever/575341.md?page=2)
