Fashion Mistakes. The Sequel.

Yesterday, I saw a woman wearing what looked like a full-body pot holder.  Tiny triangles of thread holding back bales of metallic silver fabric.  I can only assume she is going to toss herself on a flaming Hibachi table just to justify the price of the kitchen-based frock.  Well, BakerMuse is back for another look at more egregious fashion transgressions.

This fey gentleman is wearing the same pot holder look with the added touch of an ascot.  I have no idea whether this is a bad bathrobe or a fraternity hazing gone horribly wrong, but thankfully this outfit didn't outlive the 70's. Obviously, this was a photo shoot without a big budget -- our model has a terrible case of bed head.

The actor pictured at below apparently has stolen Christiane Amanpour's hair style. The mauve-colored matching shirt and tie combo was the  perfect contrast to the suit. Unfortunately the vertical cigarette pose backfired and the entire outfit became a 3-alarm fire. According to the fire marshal, the only thing that survived was the Genghis Khan mustache.

Thousands of descendents of famous Scots including Robert The Bruce are turning over in their graves seeing this man wearing a black and white tartan dinner jacket.  Perhaps it was an attempt to distract attention from his receding hairline or the fact that his dark-haired daughter carries none of his genes. 

These three chaps  are wearing what's called Cravat Ties. I think "Cravat" is Latin for Brokeback.  Basically, it's a scarf with a metallic clip. I want to see these guys walk into a Harley bar wearing these ties.  From fashion model to handle ornament for a 1200 Roadster XL in  just minutes. Click image to enlarge.  Warning, it might cause  visual trauma.

Finally, this James Bond wannabe  is wearing a paisley dinner jacket and trolling for a martini  somewhere in the boondocks.  Maybe, it's me, but what kind of eatery in this part of the sticks requires a jacket and tie?  Maybe the Kirk Douglas dimple will save him from total humiliation.
