Least functional fashion trends in the history of ever

There have been countless tacky and cringe-worthy fashion trends in the past centuries. 

However, I can understand wearing something not so flattering for the sake of comfort. I mean I do that every day when I go to class. 

The fashion patterns I do not understand are the ones that require pain and discomfort to look good.

Here’s a list of the least functional fashion trends in the history of ever:
