“High Fashion?”: 25 Styling Risks That Paid Off
Unconventional fashion statements that impressed others.
Independently testedUnbiased Demilked scoreFree to implementTools included
In a world full of highly opinionated people, it can take guts to go against the norm. Especially when it comes to fashion, there are some strict ideas on the do's and don'ts of high fashion. But each of us is blessed with a different body shape, height and colour, which doesn't always suit the trendy look that's "in" right now.
However, I'm a firm believer that if you feel comfortable in your clothes, no matter what you're wearing, it can ooze a sense of confidence that automatically elevates your outward appearance. More people seem to be embracing their unique fashion sense by choosing to style themselves in unconventional attire that goes against the grain. While some may appear odd at first, the unusual choices come off as looking incredibly cool the longer you consider it. Scroll below to check out some of the most interesting looks spotted in public that may not be popular but impressed viewers nevertheless.

“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.”
