Canadian makeup wizard Mimi Choi creates optical illusions on her own face. Sometimes, they’re beautiful. Other times, they’re bizarre. And then there are times that they’re just baffling. But in this digital age, the super-talented young lady hasn’t taken the easy route and used Photoshop. In fact, all her creations are made using traditional makeup.

This was one of her first makeup optical illusions from when she started in 2017. She calls this piece of art Worlds Within Me, and it was inspired by a surreal drawing.

Another talented makeup artist is Dain Yoon from South Korea. Known for her face and body painting, she has more than half a million followers on Instagram. She started painting at a very young age. And she immediately excelled at art.

So, it’s hardly surprising Dain graduated at the top of her class from two of Korea’s most prestigious art schools. Several of her designs feature this wavy effect. It looks like a painting, but it’s achieved using only makeup.

This is Luca Luce, who hails from one of the world’s fashion capitals — Milan, Italy. His Instagram profile proclaims he is the “First hand and head painter 3D in the world.” We’re not sure about that, Luca, as people must have been painting their heads for centuries.

Mexican people do it every November for their Day of the Dead festival. However, Luca’s little boast doesn’t make his designs any less impressive. If proof was even needed that reading gives you brains, here’s Luca to put that argument to bed.

Andy is another up-and-coming makeup artist who shows off his 3D designs on social media. He has swathes of Instagram and TikTok followers.

We don’t even know his full name, but he likes to create horror-themed designs — and this one is inspired by the Mexican Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead festival. Andy has updated the classic skull look with some 21st-century neon elements of his own. Check out those crazy red contact lenses and the green dye in his hair.

Cakeface RJ is a gifted makeup influencer from the United States who’s also huge on social media. According to the trendsetter, “Being able to work with Instagram when my career began on Instagram is crazy. It’s like a full-circle moment. I know people who have worked in the makeup industry for ten years, and to see how far I have come in just three years, thanks to Instagram, is crazy.

RJ continued, “It’s been a really interesting journey but a great one. I’ve had a really positive experience overall.” This design sees her trying to crawl out of her own face. We know the feeling, RJ!

Mimi Choi is lucky to hail from Vancouver, British Columbia. She started as a kindergarten teacher before enrolling in Blanche Macdonald, “Canada’s Number One College for Makeup Artistry, Hair Design, Fashion Aesthetics, and Nail Artistry.”

This is not Mimi in the photo; it’s her little sister, Kendahl ‘Lahbra’ Jung, who’s also an artist. Can you believe little sis actually went out for dinner looking like this? You can bet Kendahl turned a few heads and caught everyone’s eye in the restaurant!

Amongst all her crazy imaginative designs, Cakeface RJ also has a talent for painting famous people… using her own visage as the canvas. So, while at first glance you might think this is just an oil painting of everyone’s favorite chat show host, Oprah Winfrey, RJ has actually painted the Queen of Daytime’s face over the top of her own face!

Every little detail is perfect, from the hair and the smile lines around Oprah’s mouth to the reflection in her glasses. Well done, RJ — this is great!

Luca Luce has been a TV celebrity makeup artist for over 20 years. But in 2014, he decided to create optical illusion makeup designs. He began by using his own hands as canvas but quickly started using his head and face as a canvas for his mind-boggling 3D artwork.

But one day, Luca finally cracked, and here’s the evidence! He’s used his cue bald noggin to lay an egg… from which a baby chick has just hatched.

Mimi Choi confesses she finds inspiration in many forms and once stated, “I get a lot of my inspiration from photography, paintings, and emotions.” This melting face is reminiscent of Salvador Dali’s works.

His artworks often feature things melting, most often clocks, which symbolize the impermanence and meaningless of time, especially in the abstract dream world. We’re not sure what Mimi’s melting face symbolizes. Maybe she created this one the morning after a late night out with the girls!

Salvador Dali and surrealism are not the only artist and genres that Mimi takes inspiration from. In this photo, she’s gone a bit Pablo Picasso by introducing cubism to her face. Cubism was one of the most influential visual art styles of the early 20th century.

The art form was created by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso and French painter Georges Braque. Picasso and Georges first met in 1905. Two years later, Picasso showed his friend the first-ever Cubist painting, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon.

Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Mimi Choi aren’t the only artists who think it’s hip to be square. Luca Luce has also gone early 20th Century cubist for this face and head design. Behind the blocky nose and cheek, he’s blended his hair and beard with black paint to create a dark background.

This way, it looks like his blocky, cubist cheek is jutting out from the darkness. Without this touch, it wouldn’t look half as 3D as it does.

Dain Yoon also tried her hand at cubism, although she may have taken it a bit literally by painting her face and body with cubes. We’re not sure what passers-by on the streets of Seoul thought. They might have thought they were witnessing a Korean horror movie come to life!

Dain also revealed her fascination with illusions — “The reason I started to paint illusions is that I believe people live in illusions. People perceive everything in their own subjective way. My illusions distort reality and perception that are generally shared by most people.”

This optical illusion really stumped us. We have no idea how Mimi pulled this off. And the longer you look at it, the more stumped you become! So we can all agree that her real arm is entering the side of her head, and she’s painted her hand onto her face. So far, we’re up to speed…

But, how on earth do her fingers extend beyond her face? Did she paint them onto her hair? It’s genuinely baffling!

Don’t you think Luca Luce looks like Freddie Mercury in this one? Even when this cool cat is “under pressure,” Luca has a “flash” of inspiration. So, he says “don’t stop me now” and insists that “the show must go on” in order to create his stunning designs.

Even when he’s “lazing on a Sunday afternoon,” Luca has “one vision” regarding 3D makeup. “The good old fashion lover boy’s” designs are “a kind of magic.” And speaking of Freddie Mercury…

This is how most of us feel when we wake up every morning! It’s a great illusion, but you can just about make out Mimi’s hair. She says most of her illusion makeup looks are achieved using regular beauty makeup products, makeup brushes, and fine detail paint brushes.

“My favorite tools have to be my Cozzette vegan makeup brushes, and my go-to products are Make Up for Ever Flash Palette and eyeshadows, Stila and NYX liquid eyeliners, and Kryolan aqua colors.”

Here, Dain Yoon can be seen trying to blend in with her laptop. Who says creative types are disorganized? We do! Look at the state of her desktop. Never mind cleaning her face of that makeup; she really needs to spend a couple of hours cleaning up her desktop!

Dain explained that, contrary to popular belief, she doesn’t perceive illusions as a means of deception. “I think that anything that seems slightly different from its original form could be an illusion or take you out of the illusion you’re living in.”

Cakeface RJ is back with a wonderfully wet optical illusion. The hand and glass of water are real, but she’s painted every other element on her own face and body. And isn’t the effect fantastic?

As you can see, the real water stays in the glass, and the painted water falls into the hole in her forehead before cascading out like mini waterfalls from her cheeks and collecting in a pool on her neck. Do you think RJ’s water-flushing technique might be available for brains? If so, where do we sign up?

Like many creative folk, Mimi is a bit of a night owl. She says, “I feel most creative past midnight when everyone is asleep and the world is quiet.” She often starts late when the rest of the world is turning in for the night and works through the night to create her incredible pieces of art.

When she’s not sleeping during the day, Mimi often wears sunglasses to hide her eye circles from staying up late.

Luca says, “I am inspired by everything from magic and fantasy, I never attended art school, but I love makeup and 3D art, so I got the idea of trying to paint images on my hand using makeup. For a small job like a spider resting on the face, it takes just half an hour.”

Luca continues, “For something more complex like cubism on the whole face, it can take two hours or more.” But when it’s his birthday, he makes himself a birthday cake… on his own head!

Like all artists, Dain Yoon revealed that it took her a while before she found her own style. But once she’d mastered the art, she created this stunning nocturnal piece of artwork. It doesn’t work great as camouflage, but she effortlessly blends into the Korean sunset behind her.

We don’t know if she took her inspiration from Vincent Van Gogh’s most beautiful painting, Starry Night, but we’d like to think so. As such, we’ll call this one Starry Seoul Night.

With a little more digging, we’ve discovered that Andy hails from Poitiers in western France. Here’s his attempt at looking like a male Na’vi from James Cameron’s super-successful Avatar film franchise. He’s definitely captured the fearless warrior aesthetic, and the colors, tones, and shadowing are fantastic.

Check out his cheekbones beneath all that makeup. It must have taken him ages. The only element we’re not sure about is the ears. Begging the question, have male Na’vi always had such adorable little pink pixie ears? And what’s going on with his nose? It looks a little rude!

And here’s Cakeface RJ’s attempt at looking like a female Na’vi from the Avatar films. She’s gone for a completely different style to Andy’s — much more feminine with a soft focus feel. Instead of going for crazy colored contact lenses, RJ’s actually painted those huge anime-style eyes onto her eyelids.

After doing a little research on the interwebs, we found out that female Na’vi do actually have some pink in their ears but not as bright as Andy’s or RJ’s lovely pink ears.

These gorgeous blue butterflies escaping from Mimi’s gorgeous face are great. But we don’t quite understand how they’re flying away, unless they’re somehow attached to her hair by wires. This beautiful design must have taken forever to create.

Mimi says she like a challenge and confesses her works of art take her anywhere between one and five hours. She said, “I like creating optical illusions with makeup because it’s the most challenging makeup style out of everything I’ve tried, and I like challenges.”

It’s little wonder Luca Luce is so darned creative. Here he is with Jack Skellington rattling around in his brain, providing the marvelous Milanese makeup man with all the inspirational juices he needs, whatever the season. Come Halloween or Christmas, Luca is always creating.

Jack Skellington, aka The Pumpkin King, appeared in Henry Selick’s 1993 stop-motion animation masterpiece The Nightmare Before Christmas. Henry Selick, we hear you cry! Who’s he? Well, he directed The Nightmare Before Christmas — not Tim Burton.

Here, Mimi has transformed her face into a piece of broken Chinese pottery. Blue and white Qinghua porcelain is China’s most famous porcelain and has been produced for over a thousand years. The beautiful traditional designs often feature flowers, fishes, or scenes of rural life in ancient China. But on this occasion, Mimi has opted for a striking dragon pattern.

The broken crockery has spilled out across the table while Mimi’s face is hollow. As well as the impressive dragon, notice how realistic the plate’s cracks are on her face.

That super-talented lady Cakeface RJ has come up trumps again. This time, she’s turned herself into rapper Chris Brown. While her Oprah Winfrey looked like an oil painting, this version of Rihanna’s ex is so life-like and photorealistic, RJ could probably walk down the street and get asked for her autograph.

Well, pop fans would actually be asking for Chris Brown’s autograph, but you know what we mean! She spent hours on this and confessed the hardest part was getting Chris’ red hair right.

This cup of tea in the process of spilling is stunning and must have taken all day. Or all night in Mimi’s case. The brilliant piece shows a milky cup of tea spilling from quite some height out of a teacup and splashing all over the table.

But in between the cup and the table is Mimi’s face. You can see the strands of her hair in the liquid tea. If you look closely enough, you can still make out her gorgeous eyes, nose, and mouth.

We’ve all heard of the third eye, but did you know the pineal gland is a real eye? Going back through millions of years of evolution, it used to have an eyelid, and lizard’s pineal glands still do today. But, things get even creepier…

The basal ganglia part of our brains is also known as the lizard brain or reptilian complex, so maybe that’s where Luca Luce got his inspiration for this creepy, alien lizard crawling out of his brain design.

This example of Mimi’s work is like a fishy version of another much older piece of art called Vertumnus. It was Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s 1591 portrait of the then-current Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II. But Vertumnus was unusual because Arcimboldo used fruits, vegetables, and flowers to create Rudolf II.

Vertumnus was the Roman god of seasons, change, plant growth, gardens, and fruit trees. Similarly, Mimi’s fishy face employs a whole swathe of marine life — from flatfish and shrimp to starfish and shellfish. Notice the eel wrapped around her neck.

Here’s one of Andy’s horror-themed designs. We think he’s half been possessed by some sort of Dark Elf from another far-off, fantastical, and other-worldly realm. That fantasy realm, of course, exists only in Andy’s imagination.

The makeup is fantastic, especially the black neck and jaw with silver lips, and the contact lenses make him look extremely devilish. However, we’re unsure what’s going on with all those beads and the wire getup around his face. It looks great, though, Andy!

This carousel design was the last thing Mimi should have been doing. When she finally finished painting it and posted it on her Instagram account, she wrote, “I painted this look while I was 30 weeks pregnant.”

We won’t go into the gruesome details in case you get icky, but let’s just say that Mimi also experienced several bouts of morning sickness as she created this one. Do you know what British people call carousels? Merry-go-rounds! How cute is that? Don’t tell Mimi, as it might set her off again!

If you’re wondering why Cakeface RJ goes by that name, the reason is that she has a sweet tooth. She loves ice cream so much that she can eat three at a time!

This design took her a full six hours to create, and when she had finished and was snapping the final photos, she had to rush as the ice cream pops were melting. And when she doesn’t get ice cream, that’s three more mouths and three times the volume she can scream at!

How does Mimi Choi power through her mammoth nighttime art sessions? Well, she’s finally been caught in the act. Here she is, stuffing her giant mouth with a rather bland, floppy, and uninspiring-looking pizza.

She says she “painted a piece of paper and glued it onto my skin to blend with my facepaint because it would have been impossible to disguise my real lips seamlessly! She added, “Plus, it allowed me to go far beyond the edge of my face to create a more proportionate tongue.”

Andy’s gone the full hog on this one. While he looks like he’s turned himself into a Jackson Pollock painting by having a friend throw gallons of paint all over him, we know that’s not Andy’s style. That’s far too random and haphazard for a guy like Andy.

He would have spent hours painstakingly painting every little detail. With all those pinks and yellows, the colors are incredibly striking. Once again, the contact lenses are essential, but the most striking element is those crazy eyelashes.

If you ever feel like you’re falling apart, spare a thought for poor old Mimi Choi! After Mimi’s slice of pizza, she decided she needed another slice. But this time, she plumped for a slice of life. This great design shows Mimi’s face as if it has been sliced into strips of pasta, perhaps linguini.

If you feel like you could fall into those big brown anime-sized almond-shaped eyes, think again. Those aren’t actually Mimi’s real eyes; she’s drawn those on with makeup.

Dain Yoon says, “My face is the most powerful medium of art. I can use my canvas to express my individuality.” Her handpainted designs can take anywhere from 3 to 12 hours. She says, “The real face reveals itself underneath the hand that hid it, expressing how the first impression of a person does not tell the whole story.”

And speaking of, “The real face revealing itself underneath the hand that hid it,” here’s Dain’s face on her fingernails. If you’re wondering, yes, that’s her real hair!

Cakeface RJ doesn’t just turn herself into rappers and daytime chatshow hosts like Chris Brown and Oprah Winfrey. With the right makeup and a few spare hours on any given Sunday, the unbelievably gifted artist can also turn herself into superheroes — which we think is a superpower in itself.

In this instance, she has used her face as the canvas for Marvel’s Black Panther, so brilliantly portrayed by the late, great, and sorely missed Chadwick Boseman. This is the point you cross your arms on your chest and proudly state, “Wakanda Forever!”

After pursuing art from an early age, being in the art industry since the age of 10, and undergoing years of training at two prestigious colleges, all of Dain Yoon’s hard work is finally paying off. She’s worked with Apple and BMW, and she gets to fly all over the world to show off her designs.

Here she is outside The Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt. While her blue face and body art makes her look like a cubist Cleopatra, we’re not sure the camel is that impressed! Maybe he’s in denial. Get it? De Nile!

In an unusual shot, we get to see Mimi au naturel and in all her glory. She’s finally getting the props she deserves and made it to Hollywood. Here she is painting beloved actor and all-around superstar Jeff Goldblum.

Mimi posted on Instagram, “Behind the scenes of my day with Jeff Goldblum. Watch me transform Jeff in The World According to Jeff Goldblum by streaming the episode “Cosmetics” on Disney+.” So, now you know where you can watch Mimi on TV.

Dain Yoon’s exploits have taken her all the way to Hollywood with an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Appearing on Ellen’s armchair, the Korean artist sported six eyes and three mouths.

Ellen asked her if she ever went out looking like that, and Dain said she sometimes goes out in public wearing her creations, and one time she scared a baby and made them cry! The moral of the story, in the words of the great Joseph Campbell, “Follow your bliss.” In other words, do what you love, and it will take you far!

We shouldn’t have favorites, but this photo is one of our faves. As you can see with your own eyes, uber-talented makeup artist Mimi has painted dozens of eyes (with eyelashes!) onto her own face, and the Guillermo Del Toro Pan’s Labyrinth-inspired result is as shocking as it is beautiful. Surprisingly, not everyone is a fan of Mimi’s work.

She says, “I think all artists who display their work publicly are susceptible to critique because art is subjective. I tend to turn negativity into a positive force to improve on my craft.”

Believe it or not, only two of these hands are real. Dain Yoon’s real hands are the one up by her mouth and the lowest one in the bottom right of the photo. Since all art is subjective, there’s more than one way to interpret this design. The first is to see it as quite sensual, going by Dain’s expression.

But the other way is more sinister, as though she’s being captured by Thing — the dismembered hand from The Addams Family… and his siblings!

It’s not just her face that Mimi Choi paints. Here, she gets fruity by transforming her own legs into a couple of bananas. And then she went the whole hog and started peeling herself! We think the effect is great. The bananas, peeling skins, and even the little sticker look wonderfully realistic.

Although we must point out that the actual banana looks a little too bobbly. It reminds us more of corn on the cob. Not sure what we’re complaining about, as we wouldn’t know where to start!

Is it just us, or is there an element of Hieronymous Bosch’s hellscapes to this creation? Dain Yoon studied scenography, which paved the way for her theatrical career.

She said, “Since I was a freshman, I’ve done many part-time jobs that I was interested in; stylist, teacher, graphic designer, film assistant, movie makeup, theater makeup, musical costume, model, etc.” Yoon continued, “After I did many part-time jobs, I mixed all those together that I enjoyed doing. It really helped me to find my own art style.”

In this instance, Mimi Choi has given in to her sweet tooth. Because who wouldn’t wish for more mouths to eat candy? If you had nine extra mouths, what candies would you eat? We’d go for exploding popping candy, although it might be a bit like a bomb going off in your head!

This example of Mimi’s crazy makeup art is perhaps the one that looks most photoshopped, but after getting to know her work, we can safely say that it isn’t. Note to Mimi — you’re supposed to unwrap candies before eating them!

Fashion is constantly changing and evolving from one form to another. Today’s fashion trends are nowhere near those you could see on the streets 50 years ago. Each decade or period in time has its recognizable fashion trends, including the good ones and the not so great ones. This time, we are going to look at 40 of the most ridiculous fashion trends that emerged recently. We can’t help but feel uncomfortable looking at some of these fashion choices.

We’ve seen all sorts of hair clip trends evolve throughout the years but this one is a first! Perhaps if you’re a nature lover or a big snake enthusiast, this would seem like an acceptable fashion choice.

However, we don’t see a reason why someone would put on a snake hair clip and go about their day like there’s nothing strange about it. We’re sure having a snake in your hair won’t make the others around feel comfortable either.

These types of face masks are extremely popular in Venice and worn during the world-renowned Venice Carnival. However, we haven’t yet seen anyone with a mask as odd as this one.

This particular mask is made of small hands and feet which belong to some sort of a baby doll. If you look closely, you will notice that it also features sections of the doll’s face. We’ve seen some unexpected fashion choices lately but this one goes beyond weird.

Everyone loves heels! Is it just us or do heels tie any outfit together? While these shoes can do wonders for all sorts of styles, there have to be some boundaries where you should not cross the line.

This is a great example of how far not to go when it comes to wearing unique and extraordinary heels. We’re not sure how someone came up with this design but we don’t approve of it. Perhaps the designer was going for a more natural look with these unbelievable heels.

If you are looking for something extremely comfortable to curl up in, this teddy bear sweater is the perfect garment. It looks so soft and comfortable, as if it was made for cuddling on the sofa with a cup of tea in your hand.

The only problem is that this garment is designed to be worn in public. That’s right, this piece of outerwear is meant to be worn as a jacket over a shirt. Imagine seeing someone walking down the street in this teddy bear jacket, that would be a very weird fashion choice.

This is where things go from weird to weirder. At first glance, you might not even understand what is going on in this picture. If you take a closer look at this “fashion trend,” you’ll notice that there’s something extremely wrong here.

Just looking at this picture makes us very uncomfortable. Is this supposed to be a costume of some sort or is it an actual daily outfit? We hope it’s only a Halloween type of joke, even though we can’t be so sure these days.

If you ever feel like dressing up like a mythological monster, you’re in luck because some designers consider this to be high fashion. This outfit represents the Greek monster Medusa, who had snakes growing out of her head instead of hair.

Inspired by this rather odd muse, the designer created a dress out of Medusa’s snakes that was supposed to look like an out-of-this-world garment. In all honesty, we don’t see this catching on and becoming a streetwear trend, or at least we hope not.

You’ve probably seen all sorts of rings in your life but we can bet that you’ve never seen this one. Rings are an important accessory to any outfit nowadays as both men and women wear them to complete their looks.

However, not all rings deserve to be called fashionable, especially not this one. What you’re looking at is a ring that portrays a set of teeth with braces. We can’t think of any context where a ring like this would be acceptable, unless you’re a dentist proposing to your girlfriend (who is also a dentist).

We’ve mentioned rings already and we cannot leave out earrings either, as these accessories are considered important fashion details. If you’re a big fan of fishing or you have a pet fish, you might like these fish tank earrings.

This is not something you’d see every day on the street and, even though it is not as cringe-inducing as the teeth ring, it does look like a very strange fashion choice. If we saw someone wearing these earrings, we’d assume that they are a big fish enthusiast.

Grills used to be a recognizable fashion trend for rappers and musicians in the entertainment industry who used gold grills to showcase their wealth and power. Nowadays, anyone can get a custom-made grill set to wrap up their look.

However, this is by far one of the ugliest teeth grills we’ve ever seen, given that it looks like braces with the Gucci sign on them. Some people just love to brag about their designer items, however, we don’t understand why someone would go this far.

Chokers in general are quite a strange fashion trend that emerged in the last couple of years. Even if you are a big fan of chokers, you will most likely find this design way too weird to be worn either in private or in public.

The designer behind this “fashion” accessory makes all sorts of garments using Barbie doll parts, similar to the Venician mask made of doll parts we showed you earlier. We’re not sure what’s weirder, the Barbie head on the neck, or the fact that the choker is made of the doll’s hair.

When you think of fashionable accessories, fuzzy hats are not the first thing to come to mind. The bucket hat trend was going around for quite a while, making it impossible for us to leave it out of this list.

It’s already confusing enough to think about why someone would enjoy wearing fuzzy fur as a hat. The only thing that makes it even worse is the neon green color of this accessory. At least you can never get lost in a crowd wearing this hat.

Last but not least, we had to include the good old track pants and heels combo. When we say “good,” we mean horrible since there is no logical reason as to why these profoundly different clothing items should be paired together.

Wearing track pants and heels makes it look like you’re rushing to an important event but you don’t have time to change out of your gym clothes. While we could understand your situation under these circumstances, we don’t see a reason why this outfit should even be a thing.

We’ve got more Barbie accessories on our list, including this unexplainable ring featuring nothing but the Barbie’s eye. This accessory looks like something that carries a deep meaning under its surface.

The ring was created by the same designer responsible for the choker we mentioned earlier. Unless people are completely obsessed with Barbie (which is already strange enough), we don’t see any reason why something like this would become a fashion trend.

If you thought the naked feet heels you saw earlier were weird, this will knock your socks off. This strange pair of heels looks as if Miley Cyrus had designed them back in 2013 when the whole “tongue sticking out of the mouth” was a massive trend.

Perhaps these heels would sell well back in the Bangerz era. Today, however, we’re not sure if there is room for heels like these in anyone’s closet, unless you’re collecting the strangest fashion items ever created.

You’ve seen the Barbie choker made of the doll’s hair but this is where things get a lot more real. This bracelet is made of real human hair. Whose hair is it, you may ask? We’re guessing that no one knows.

If you fancy wearing a stranger’s lock of hair on your arm, this is a one of a kind product for you. However, seeing something like this makes us feel a bit uncomfortable. After all, who wears real human hair as an accessory, other than hair extensions, of course!

Now, this is the perfect phone case for when you’re feeling lonely. Someone came up with the idea of designing a phone case shaped like a human hand. That way, when you’re holding the phone you can feel like you’re holding someone’s hand.

While this could be a great joke if you want to prank someone single for a while, it surely doesn’t look like a serious fashion accessory. Besides, it probably feels weird or even scary to hold a skin textured phone case all the time.

Necklaces usually serve to put an outfit together with small but intentional details. Well, some of them can make your outfit look amazing, even though this particular necklace is not one of the most fashionable choices.

It features a hunting trap that has no significant purpose or meaning. It would just look strange to walk around wearing a fake trap around your neck. Perhaps if you’re a member of a hunting group, something like this could make sense.

If you’re thinking “The Baby Bag” stands for a maternity bag for baby products, this is not it. What you’re looking at is somehow a real fashion accessory and not a very good one. This baby-shaped bag looks like something that came out of a horror movie.

Perhaps if you’re trying to leave some hints for your partner, you can consider carrying this baby-shaped bag to get them on the same page you’re on. However, we definitely won’t recommend following this rather unusual fashion trend.

Wearing ordinary sunglasses is just too overrated these days. If you’re looking for good sun protection but you’re tired of the old sunglasses, check out this sun protector you can find on Amazon!

Believe it or not, people are wearing these shield-like accessories to protect themselves from sunlight outdoors. While it might be effective when it comes to blocking the UV rays, this accessory is way too far from fashionable.

The garish chain jewelry was made popular back in the 80s when Versace put out a variety of similar accessories. However, even back in the day this fashion trend was quite neglected compared to some of the more iconic garments.

We’ve seen chain jewelry make a comeback recently and it doesn’t seem like it’s working out in the 21st century either. It just looks like a bit too much is going on in this area and it’s not very fit for today’s popular fashion styles.

It might not be as extreme as a hunting trap necklace, but this shell necklace definitely won’t make it into the top ten fashion accessories of our time. Shell jewelry in general is a bit unpleasant to look at with most clothing combinations.

Unless you’re chilling in Bali or another tropical location, there’s no good excuse for wearing such unfashionable accessories. If you remember the styles back in the 2000s, the puka-shell necklaces were quite popular, but not anymore!

If you’ve never heard of Jorts before, you can call yourself lucky! Jorts, aka denim pedal pushers, were quite popular around 2004. However, we’re seeing some celebrities including Kim Kardashian and Gigi Hadid trying to bring this trend back.

We’re not very optimistic when it comes to jorts making a comeback to the fashion scene. There were shunned for a reason. This particular type of shorts that looks like wildly cut pants is just a bit too careless and messy to be considered a fashionable choice.

We’ve seen all sorts of bags and accessories throughout the years but this one is a first. If you have a really big sweet tooth and you’re more than obsessed with candy, then you’d probably love to have this bag in your closet.

Shaped as a candy wrapper, this mini bag will portray the side of your personality that is absolutely in love with sweets. Perhaps if you are dressing up for a kids’ party or a candy tasting event, this accessory could be considered appropriate.

Matching the color of your nails to the clothing can tie the entire outfit together. However, there are some nail-related fashion trends that we just cannot wrap our heads around. For instance, all the hype around extremely long nails seems a bit too much to handle.

You can only imagine the discomfort and inconvenience that comes along with wearing nails of this size. While fake nails can look good in certain contexts, this is not one of them. Besides, having nails this big looks too painful and unbearable.

Many celebrities have tried to make bodysuits a thing recently and some fans have even copied this style. However, certain types of bodysuits just make us feel a bit too uncomfortable.

After all, a bodysuit is nothing but a onesie made of stretchy fabric, which gets glued to the skin so much that taking it off turns into a nightmare. Besides, bodysuits seem to be quite inconvenient for everyday life since it will take a lot of time and effort to hit the bathroom break in one of these.

We’re all about equality and freedom when it comes to fashion trends. Who says men cannot wear skinny jeans? Well, whoever said it, they might be right in this case since these jeans seem to be way too skinny for a man to wear.

Not only does this outfit look strange and unpleasant, but it also gives a lot of discomfort to poor Conan O’Brien who had to squeeze into those jeans. Denim pants without any lycra are not only uncomfortable but they can cause serious nerve damage as well.

These Japanese backpacks became a trend as soon as they were released. People went crazy for these human-sized backpacks that can fit nearly everything you own in your closet. If you don’t feel like packing lightly on your next trip, this will be the perfect bag to bring along.

We understand the need to have enough space for your essentials during the day but doesn’t this seem like a bit too much? Besides, imagine walking down the street with such a huge backpack on your shoulders, it must be quite a burden.

Crocs were a bad fashion choice as it is, but it turns out they can somehow get even worse. Someone came up with the idea to attach mini bags onto crocs, as if you would need some sort of tiny storage compartment on your feet.

The bags can be placed either behind the heel or at the very front of the slipper. Either way, it seems way too unnecessary and also kind of ridiculous. This launch also has an official name – The Bespoke Pocket Clog.

One fashion trend we saw all over the place back in 2019 was the one-word hair clips. While hair clips can be a good addition to an outfit, they mainly serve to hold the hair in one place for the sake of convenience.

One way you can completely ruin your look is by putting on some one-word hair clips, especially the ones by high-end brands such as Gucci and Versace. We get it that people like to showcase their branded accessories but this seems like crossing the line.

We firmly believe that biker shorts should, as the very name suggests, be used primarily by bikers. This is a type of clothing that serves a specific purpose in specific situations and thus should not be used as a fashion statement.

However, biker shorts became a popular fashion choice in the 90s, as well as recently when Kim Kardashian tried to bring them back. Is it just us or does this clothing item make the outfit look unfinished and sloppy?

The whole idea of transparent footwear became popular when Kanye West released his Yeezy PVC sandals. People went crazy for those and, all of a sudden, the fashion world was filled with PVC footwear, including the heels in the picture.

Can you imagine how hot and uncomfortable these must be? Even though this is not one of the most bizarre fashion trends on our list, it’s one of the most physically uncomfortable choices. Besides, we’re not sure how to feel about the fact that the shoes are completely transparent.

Here’s another example where repurposing accessories turned out to be a complete fashion failure. Scrunchies were designed to serve as a hair accessory and provide convenience when needed.

However, some celebrities including Jason Momoa and Dakota Johnson tried to switch things up and wear scrunchies as bracelets. This trend caught on pretty quickly but we’re not sure why. There’s nothing special about these accessories to be worn so openly and it just makes you look like you left the house without getting ready all the way.

Tie-dye clothing became one of the fastest-growing trends in 2019 when everyone became obsessed with crazy colors and DIY shirts. Even popular brands such as Polo and Prada started incorporating these patterns into their designs.

If you ask us, this seems like a bit too much color to handle and, luckily, it looks like this trend won’t survive beyond 2020. So many colors probably made it too difficult to match the rest of the outfit and make some sense out of it.

This shirt became quite popular in the last couple of months, especially among the Nicolas Cage fans. It’s understandable why the actor’s number one fan would like to own this shirt but we didn’t expect it to become so popular in general.

You must love Nicolas Cage if your fashion choices include a shirt with a dozen of his faces. We’ve seen many varieties of this type of clothing that features the faces of celebrities and, no matter how big of a fan someone is, it’s kind of weird to wear this in public.

This appears to be some sort of a double ring that makes your fingers look as if they are bleeding. Realistically, this would make for a great Halloween costume accessory if you’re going as Dracula or a horror movie character.

However, we don’t see a reason why someone would wear a knife ring daily. It doesn’t look like a very usual accessory, although we shouldn’t judge people’s choices. Perhaps having gore accessories is the next big trend.

Leather bucket hats, textiles, and other materials are making a comeback in various colors, textures, or models. Designers seem to think there are a lot of people willing to use a capsized bucket on their head.

Music stars and celebrities are among them. They are said to make a statement about style, fashion, and taste (mostly bad). If you are a fan of them, sure, go ahead! I’m not in the same boat!

We may love over-sized things, in general. The problem is not everybody is fit for it. Loving over-sized clothing is one thing, but wearing it is quite another.

This trend has been made popular by various celebs, but what looks good on them does not necessarily suit the rest of us. Who knows, perhaps next year we’ll gain a little weight and then it will turn out to have been a good decision.

It would be nice to know that foam-filled shoes designed for boating became a fashion item. Unfortunately, they are quirky footwear and not very fashionable. If you plan to use a pair around the house, that is fine. Otherwise, there are better options. This doesn’t mean they don’t have fans. They do.

Around the world, millions of people wear them, decorate them, and show them off. To satisfy this increased demand, the company that manufactures them had to outsource production. Still, there are better options.

I must admit that they catch the eye. Despite portraying some very low resources and dubious taste, they might even look cool and tempting on the right person. You may ask, who’s that person and why are they trending again?

A lot of people seem to consider cut-out pants a good idea, as a number of online fashion stores have reported a growing interest in them.

There is little introduction needed to this strange new fashion trend. There are a lot of accessories with a fluffy design, but maybe fluffy eyebrows are a step too far?

Well, it might be just what you need on those lazy days when tweezers do not sound appealing. But at the end of the day, we should all take care of ourselves. Maybe we could start braiding them if they grow too long and fluffy, who knows! I definitely hope this trend is not here to stay.

Talking about over-sized, how about over-sized soles on old-style chunky sneakers like the ones your dad used to wear? Although they are trending again because, among other things, they are very comfy, they are a bit off-key and just don’t look right out on the street.

On the other hand, if you (or your dad) can afford some serious “dad shoes,” then go for an iconic and sought-after brand. They will definitely make you the hotshot of your entourage.

This is an interesting name for a very practical pouch. It used to be en vogue in the 80s, but their use diminished in the mid-90s, and they completely disappeared after 2000. The recent incarnation is also called a waist bag, and it is carried across the chest for improved usability.

It is also slightly bigger for added functionality, some models even being specially designed for concealed carry of handguns – where applicable, of course. Perhaps it is less of a bad trend and more of a good idea revisited.

Do you regularly wear your jeans tucked into your boots? If that’s the case, then the idea of sandal straps over your jeans may not strike you as odd. There are a lot of people thinking like that, and strappy sandals worn together with jeans are beginning to make an impact on the streets.

This trend is on the rise, and despite the weird look and probably uncomfortable feel, it’s going to stay with us for the next few months…at least!

This one is clearly a terrible fashion decision. It goes a long way to show what happens when you’re out of ideas but still need to cut something just for the fun of it.

It’s not suitable for a walk in the park or in the sun. It is sheer, unadulterated kitsch, and it’s only purpose is to shock the audience and entice the gullible. Avoid it, it really is bad.

If you plan to transport your valuables in a handbag, then definitely don’t use these. They may be trendy, even cute, but they are only meant for show, literally. For serious business, use the regular ones. Imagine using one in the underground or in an office space.

What would you carry in it? It is another interesting idea for those brave souls amongst us, and it is meant to push the envelope when it comes to combining traditional accessories with new materials.

This may be considered artistic, even innovative, but it’s not going to catch on. If you want to increase your following on Instagram, increase your height, or just want a stunning selfie, you may want to try it.

Depending on the flowers and the color of your hair, the results you will achieve will probably vary considerably. It is not a trend, though, not even a bad one – it’s just a balancing act.

Form follows function, right? Not exactly, or at least not always. Judge for yourself. After seeing square-toed shoes in mesh form, you might wonder how comfortable they are. Are they actually meant for wearing, or do they serve a different purpose?

Are they meant for pushing pedals or as a protective measure for escalator stair steps? Their form increases the surface of the sole, so people might just as well think of using them on sandy soils. It is a nice try, but not the wave of the future.

Muddy jeans are a stunner – in a negative sense. If you need to spend roughly four hundred dollars and some change, maybe consider looking elsewhere. Muddy jeans represent a daring proposal for pieces of clothing with mud imprinted on them.

If you like dirt that much, you could probably buy something new and then roll around in the mud. That would be much cheaper and a lot more fun!

UGGs were a real hit a few years ago, but we were quite surprised that these UGG sandals are a thing nowadays. The fluffy UGGs were meant to protect us against the cold. But what is the purpose of these UGG sandals?

We are definitely more in favor of Crocs rather than these! But it is stiff competition. At least Crocs are a bit more appealing than furry UGG sandals. We cannot even imagine how hot your feet must get in these, especially during the summer. You could wear them for winter, but then your feet may get too cold.

Do you fancy looking like a car? Then, perhaps, you should try this one. With your handbag looking like a side mirror and your skirt like a rubber car mat, you are guaranteed to attract attention. Traffic police may even give you a ticket.

Unless you are in the car parts business and really want to sell products, don’t pick this one. It may be passable at an auto show, but it won’t attract a following on the catwalk.

This rather strange accessory became a big trend in Japan and on social media for reasons that we don’t quite understand. Perhaps the creator of this hair accessory was inspired by the boom of emojis on social media.

Other than that, we don’t have an explanation as to why someone would choose to wear this in public. This must be one of the top 10 most uncomfortable and unusual fashion choices around the world. It also makes for a great gift idea if you want to prank your friends or family members.

If anyone is to blame for the appearance of bamboo bags in the fashion industry, it’s the online influencers. Everyone was rocking their nearly transparent bamboo bags on Instagram during 2019, thus powering a new and not so fashionable trend.

Our question is, what’s so special about this trend? Not only can everyone see the content of your bag, including personal belongings, but it’s also very uncomfortable to wear or carry all they long. It just doesn’t seem like bamboo bags are worth the effort.

Lizzo can be deemed responsible for the emergence of the tiny purse craze, as she carried a miniature bag at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles. People found this accessory rather interesting and decided to copy her style.

While we don’t condone the use of giant backpacks we mentioned earlier, we definitely wouldn’t go for a miniature bag either. Not only that there’s absolutely no point of having an accessory like this but it also looks kind of ridiculous.

Corsets are the kind of fashion choice that makes everyone feel a bit uncomfortable. It seemed like corsets became a popular outfit of choice back in 2019 when they were worn by many celebrities including Bella Hadid.

However, this doesn’t seem like an appropriate or even convenient fashion trend, given how uncomfortable it must be to spend hours wearing something so tight. If you ask us, this is one of the fashion trends that should be left in the past.

Patchwork used to be popular back in 2009 and earlier days, even though some tried to bring it back quite recently. Luckily, we don’t think this trend will be catching on again since this type of clothing looks too confusing and unpleasant.

While some might like to use patchwork to express their creativity, we find it a bit too excessive for the fashion world. If you look at this item of clothing, you can barely even figure out what is going on in all the pictures.
