Ma made me a fancy dress of a daisy, white petals all around a gold centre. Felt so embarrassed at wearing it, and refused to go to the party, but she took me, and I felt like a fish out of water. Was 7 or thereabouts. Don't have a photo of me wearing it thankfully. :D Daisies look better in fields and gardens is how I feel about it.
A VERY short red minidress when I was a teenager. I wore it to a posh-ish (at the time) restaurant with my rather eldery great and uncle and they were very embarrassed. Looking back, I am too.
A Laura Ashley dress with a puff skirt. A present from my best friend when we were 14.
But that's nothing comparing with my then-favourite night-out outfit during my uni years: a black chiffon bustier, black velvet hot pants, black tights, and knee-length lace-up flat boots.
Every time I remembered that outfit, my face burnt faster than a matchstick. Still does. I chose the outfit because I thought it made me look shorter, which I desperately wanted. So not only I had a bad taste, I was a moron.
Another embarrassing outfit: a white stretchy blouse, a painfully short red tartan skirt, black over-knee socks and black 'Bros-style' shoes with bottle tops attached (I didn't like Bros, but I liked the look of the shoes). Cringe. Thankfully, it didn't last because it attracted weirdos, especially on tube.
I wore everything from Flashdance. Leggings, grey sweat shirt with a torn neckline, leopard and black tights. I was a kid so I could get away with it. Only just.
I can't pick which of those is the most embarrassing. All those embarrass me.
A couple of years ago,the day before I was going on holiday,I realised I needed a couple of extra items of clothes to pack.
I dashed to my local Asda and being caught up in the holiday mood bought a couple of "colourful" t-shirts and shorts from their holiday collection and threw them in the case.
It was only when I unpacked at the other end did I realise how hideous they were.
In the light of day,the shorts were a pink ,red and yellow flower design and one t-shirt was pea green! I might have just got away with them if I had been 16 but not a forty something!
Trouble was because I had packed so little,I had to wear them at some point.I have never been so embarrassed going out in public!
There are photographs on me on that holiday looking like a licorice allsort!
I wear a lot of black these days.
In the past I have worn a red tank top with red shorts,(when I was 7 though, but there is still a photo of me posing with plastic dinosaurs in Scarborough.)
Bright yellow V neck jumper with white teeshirt in the 80's. Then in the 90's I went through a phase of wearing German and Russian army jackets.
about 10 years ago, I wore my brothers t-shirt to mass, it had numbers written on it, 9U55Y,'Pussy' or 'I love pussy', something like that. I didn't realise what it said, I was 12 at the time.

Haha, I've got a friend who insists on wearing one of these at parties, after someone told him it looked great!
They're hideous!
I (thankfully) saw sense when I turned 13 and decided I was too cool for everything.
As long as your friends happy and all that... it must take extraordinary self confidence to wear one as a "grown up"

He's quite happy to look daft, he's one of those people who wouldn't even notice that people were laughing at him. Wish I was like that.

Bright red cardigan with matching bright red skirt from Benetton.
Both outfits were worn with black tights.
You would never have guessed that I was actually quite shy and preferred to blend into the background.
You wouldn't have loved me. All I needed was some baubles and fairy lights to complete the look.
Never lost one though.
They were so uncool!
I'd only have ended up getting a new pair knitted.
