What Not to Wear
#15 Wine is for Drinking
Yes, it's cool that clothing is now being made out of wine. But this look is much more "True Blood" than haute couture.

Isn't the Kentucky Derby Over?
This is a hot mess from any angle. But the real doozy? That massive hat. Because, you know, the odd oversized dress and shoes weren't enough.

Club Wear Belongs in Clubs
Okay, it's probably a given that if Snookie is wearing it, it's a don't. But those skintight dresses are for club wear only, ladies. It's not red carpet appropriate (or for any other time).

Saw Slumdog Millionnaire One Too Many Times?
Unless you're from a particular culture, it's very risky to try their fashion. Most Indian jewelry (including bindis) looks pretty ridiculous on foreigners. Give a slight nod to the great fashion of cultures you admire instead - like a silk scarf instead of a full-on silk sari.

Can't Afford the Whole Suit?
A suit is formal attire. It cannot be turned into shorts. No, not even if your Gwyneth.

Meat Your Fashion Don't
Meat. It's for eating, not wearing. It should have gone without saying, but clearly it didn't. If you're not Lady Gaga, pass on this. It looks better on the grill.

All Tied Up
This is just trying too hard. Besides the hair (with obnoxious streak) that clearly took an hour, the skin tight pants, toe-pinching shoes and perfectly washed denim, there's the scarf. There are dozens of ways to wear a scarf. Ties in a knot on your forehead is not one of them. Go for a simple french knot (around your neck).

Fannies are Behind You
One person - ONE - has pulled off a fanny pack in the last 20 years. And we're guessing you aren't Carrie Bradshaw. Everyone, please...it had it's hey day. Some things need to stay in the past.

Attack of the Goodwill Bag
Don't get us wrong, there are some GREAT finds at used stores. But we doubt these out of style washed capri jeans and horrendous shoes would have even made it to the floor. And the LV purse...is that supposed to be ironic?

What Animal Made This?
Mixing and matching patterns works ONLY for those who know how to do it. It looks like a leopard mated with a flower bed and created this monstrosity. Unless you're a pro, pair leopard with a solid color.

Tough Guy
Everyone has seen them, and they look very tacky. We are talking about the tattoo sleeves. Unsure why people wear them when they look obviously fake, but they are still used widely.

What's Wrong With Ellen's Pants?
Pin striped pants? Ok. Maybe. But cropped at an odd place with some kind of weird fold over at the waist - AND combined with a shirt she's swimming in? She needs help STAT.

Matchy Matchy
We get it, you're in love. Matching clothes are cute on twins (when they're five) but not for adults. Show your love in a different way.

Where to Begin?
Most men aren't fashion experts, but come on. The clashing patterns. The pulled up socks with shorts. We hope this guy is waiting for his girlfriend who can help dress him.

Socks and Sandals
This is a universal no-no. Or at least it should be. Not even the most reckless celeb can pull this one off. Yet thousands of tourists try it every year on their vacation.
