People Are Sharing Their Unique Way Of Dressing And Here Are 99 Of The Coolest Pics

While fashion is totally subjective, some style choices just hit differently—either in the best way possible or in a way that makes you do a double take. And while the internet is flooded with fashion disasters, today, the Bored Panda

#1 Wearing One Of My Favourite Outfits I’ve Made In Fashion School 👼

#2 Shen & Kern

“We are wearing gothic plaid outfits created by myself. I wanted to look like a gothic Victorian queen ready for anything. Currently my style is inspired by 90s punk, 5th Element (the movie), and most anime. I like to look like I am ready for war or a fashion show.”
“I am inspired by myself. I love to wear color and express my style with my socks.”

#3 My Brother Made This Jacket, I'm Biased But I Think It Might Be The Craziest Thing I've Ever Seen

Not all of us have a keen eye for fashion. Some of us might truly believe that neon orange and hot pink are a match made in heaven (and hey, if that’s your vibe—go for it!). But every now and then, you accidentally pair two pieces together, and boom, you’ve got an unexpectedly stylish look

To understand why certain fashion risks work, we spoke with Sakshi Agarwal, who studied Luxury Brand Management at Regent’s University London. With her experience in fashion and styling, she gave us insight into how unconventional combinations can end up being surprisingly fashion-forward. Whether it’s colors, patterns, or accessories, there are plenty of ways to make a bold look feel intentional and chic.

#6 My 88-Year Old Grandpa In Rare Comme Des Garcons Shirt And Skirt

My 88-year-old grandpa in Comme des Garçons Homme Plus Spring/Summer 2018 Rainbow Sequin Shirt and Comme des Garçons Spring/Summer 2021 PVC Layered Skirt. I am doing a series of photos of my grandpa dressed in archive designer clothing from my collection - styled, shot & edited by me. If interested, I'm releasing the shots on my instagram @joeyadachi

She began by saying, “While we learn color theory as fashion students, some shades naturally complement each other. For instance, red always works beautifully with deeper tones like navy, emerald green, or even a soft pink—it’s all about balance and contrast.” The key is to experiment but also understand why certain colors create visual harmony.

“The same goes for patterns,” she added. “Stripes and florals? They can look amazing together when done right. Polka dots and animal prints? Surprisingly chic if balanced with neutral elements.” Mixing prints is tricky, but when paired thoughtfully, it can elevate an outfit from basic to runway-ready.

When it comes to accessories, gold and silver aren’t the only players in the game. “Gold generally complements warm tones like reds and browns, while silver pairs beautifully with cool-toned outfits,” Sakshi explained. But fashion is flexible, and combining metallics can actually add depth and personality to an outfit when styled with confidence.

“Now, a lot of this information is easily available online,” she pointed out. “People can experiment more than ever before—whether through Instagram trends, Pinterest boards, or TikTok style hacks.” The digital age has made it easier for anyone to step out of their comfort zone and try daring fashion trends they might have never considered before.

She pointed out, "Fashion designers experiment all the time, pushing the boundaries of what’s considered stylish." Runways are filled with daring looks that, at first, might seem bizarre but later define new trends. Some of the most iconic fashion moments in history started as risks that paid off in ways no one expected.

One such recent moment was Schiaparelli’s Spring 2023 Couture Show, which made headlines for its hyper-realistic animal head designs. Inspired by Dante’s Inferno, the collection featured handcrafted lion, wolf, and leopard heads on structured gowns worn by celebrities like Kylie Jenner. While controversial, it was a bold artistic statement that blurred the line between fantasy, fashion, and craftsmanship.

At Paris Fashion Week 2022, Coperni stole the show when they spray-painted a dress onto Bella Hadid in real-time. Using a liquid fabric technology, designers literally created a sleek, off-the-shoulder white dress on stage, leaving the audience in awe. This moment instantly went viral, marking a futuristic step for fashion technology and redefining live runway performances.

And who could forget Balenciaga’s Fall 2022 Mud Show? Known for pushing boundaries, Demna transformed the runway into a mud-covered dystopian landscape, with models trudging through in oversized layers, distressed leather, and dramatic silhouettes.

While unconventional, it was a striking commentary on fashion in a chaotic world—and yet, the pieces became some of the most sought-after streetwear styles of the season.

These moments prove that fashion isn’t just about clothing—it’s about storytelling, creativity, and the courage to break norms. And these posts celebrate bold choices, unusual combinations, and daring styles.

Sometimes, it’s about breaking the rules and owning the look with confidence. So, which of these looks caught your eye? Is there one you’d actually try, or do you prefer to admire from afar? Let us know!

“I’m donning an athleisure top I found at Nordstrom Rack and a vintage longline corset that I thrifted (such a serendipitous find!). The skirt is thrifted Marithé + François Girbaud and the iridescent purple/yellow/orange garment is a saree from an Indian brand called Chidiyaa. The shoes are Japanese ipponba geta. I am inspired by sartorial adaptations of past and present, East and West, and I interpret them in a way that feels natural to my individual. I am truly grateful to live this era – in a globalized world.”

#80 Tylo, 21

“I’m wearing Ecko track jacket I bought last year, my mom’s Gaultier mesh top from the 90s, and my brother’s pants. The shoes are Jeremy Scott Adidas which mean the world to me, I can’t take them off. I have lots of bracelets and hair accessories that I wear every day. Those are from my childhood or things that people gift me. I love accessories and excess and being too much. I’m super inspired by funk and soul music and party culture. I wear mostly my parents clothes because they were super cool and have amazing pieces and lived amazing lives. I like to give them a new life and carry everybody with me through what I wear.“

#81 Tatum, 32

“I’m wearing a hat I made for Elena Velez, Elena Velez bodysuit, vintage corset and layered skirts, vintage Diesel boots, and Jaded hairbow and hair bag. Elena’s last show EVSALON001 inspired this look. I always want to incorporate clothes that have lived a long life that make a big reaction. I hold off for special occasions so they can really shine. My style usually borders on disheveled, Victorian rebel.”
