You know, the too-tight on sale designer trousers you were sure you could use as motivation, or the clothes that if time travel were possible, you’d go back and un-purchase. If this isn’t ringing any bells, you’re either lying or still wearing something you probably should have abandoned by now. To celebrate these mishaps, Rizzoli has published the hilarious I Actually Wore This: Clothes We Can’t Believe We Bought, to celebrate the best of the worst. Written by Tom Coleman and photographed by Jerome Jakubiec, the book covers it all – from a Comme des Garçons baseball cap with bunny ears to a yeti suit (yes, really). “I Actually Wore This embraces those cringe-inducing garments, those items that will forever cause you to mutter, ‘What was I thinking?’ when you see them hanging in your closet,” says Coleman in the introduction. So you can take comfort in the knowledge that you aren’t alone – even the most fashionable among us make missteps. Don’t wallow in self-pity, join the bad taste club. At least you’ll sleep better tonight knowing somebody has worst dressed skeletons in their closet than you do. “There should be a warning about drinking before shopping.” Sid Karger’s cashmere Che sweater, $600 in 2010 (worn four times)Courtesy of RizzoliEscape the algorithm!
