The Most Outrageous Clothes That Went Viral in 2017
Fashion trends may come and go but there are certainly some that we’ll never forget. Like ever. 2017, had its fair share of extremely outrageous trends that had us scratching our heads for answers. Guess what though? Some people loved them and of course, that’s why we’re still talking about it (and will be for years to come). From thong jeans that no one could seem to figure out why they happened to a free red bathing suit that became a nightmare Instagram sensation, scroll ahead see some of the ones that stood out from the year.

So while this classic red bikini isn't necessarily outrageous, what happened to it definitely was. Sunny Co Clothing released an Instagram contest in which they promised a free suit to anyone who reposted it. Unfortunately for the company, the post went viral and thousands of people were expecting free bathing suits in their mailboxes. Apparently, people did start to receive them following the media hype.

One of the most viral (and most brilliant if you ask me) trends that happened this year was the Ta Ta Towels. Literally, a towel for your boobs. Now, because of the internet, boob sweat has met it's match.

When high-end luxury brand Balenciaga released this blue tote bag people almost immediately pointed out the similarities between it and the Ikea shopping bag. Of course, this very thing helped make it one of the most talked about bags of the year. Imitation is the best form of flattery, right?

Of all the head scratching viral pieces of the year, this had to be on top. Parisian brand, Jacquemus release this sunhat dress that retailed for over $3,000 and only came in a size small. The couture piece was perfect for the hat lover who just wanted to wear hats all over their body tied with a string. Tres chic!

Thong jeans are exactly what they sound like. Jeans that are just a thong and ankles. They were brought to through a runway show in Japan and when the Internet caught wind of their existence we never looked back. There was even a Halloween costume with them.
6/11One Should Bikini
There are impractical looks and then there are impractical looks. Take, for instance, this one shoulder bell sleeved bikini. While adorable it is arguably one of the most difficult ways to dress for the beach no matter who you are. Calling anyone who tried this to please share your photos with me.

There was something about the Ikea bag that really sparked the creativity of artists and designers around the world. So much so that they started making shoes, bags and even thongs out of the totes. While cool, it's one of those viral moments that I think we're all ready to see die.
