aqua cuckoo dress Style on Trial: Aqua Cut Out Cuckoo Dress

There’s a cuckoo in the nest, folks. Well, a cuckoo dress, anyway.

By now, we’re all pretty used to Aqua’s quirky take on dress fashion, not to mention their love of unexpected cut-outs and the flashing of flesh. Some of you love the Aqua look, and some of you don’t, but whatever your feelings about it, we want you to put them out of your minds and concentrate instead on this dress that stands before you now, On Trial.

This dress pleads innocent to the charge of committing crimes against fashion. As the members of the jury, however, it’s up to you to decide. So, how do you find it – guilty or innocent?

Blazer with holes Easy Fashion DIY: The Riddled With Holes Blazer

Want to look “fashion forward”, “totally edgy” and “bang on trend”, readers? Of course you don’t do. Here’s an easy fashion DIY for you!

You will need:

1. One ordinary blazer, of any colour or style. Try to choose one you’ll never want to wear again.

2. One pair of scissors. Sharp ones.

How to do it:

1. Take scissors to blazer. Cut random holes in it.

2. That’s it.

Now, wasn’t that a whole lot easier on the wallet than spending £690/ $1,098 on the designer version? It just goes to show, you don’t have to spend a fortune to look like a fashion victim!

The Penguin Booty-Buddy*, from Urban Outfitters: because sometimes you just can’t relax unless you’re dressed like a penguin, don’t you find?

(Also: where was Harry Potter when this was being sold? Because we don’t know about you, but we’re not seeing a “penguin” here so much as a really strange looking wizard. We suspect dark arts are involved.)

*Also doubles as a Halloween costume

Modelling is Hard…

feet on books Modelling is Hard…

… or at least, it is when they strap your feet to a pile of books and call it “footwear”.

Add “ability to balance on books” to your resumes, apiring models: you never know when that particular skill will be required!

blazer with hooded sweater Stuck Together Clothes Crimes: Blazer with attached hoodie

It’s hard to imagine ever wanting to wear a blazer without a hoodie underneath, isn’t it? Or, indeed, to wear a hoodie without a blazer?

What do you mean “no”? If you can imagine wearing one of these items without the other, then that would mean this garment, which consists of the two items stuck together would be, if not altogether useless, then at least rather inconvenient. And who wants inconvenient clothes, pray tell?

Is it you? If it is, you can click here to buy this for £54.99.
