What? No, this thread cannot die while there are still style offenders in this world!

My Mez spotted these fashion victims as she's been working her way through the plot of Proph.

The first definitely deserved the fate she encountered on a Droks Run. There are no words for this.

The second was observed in I believe Gates of Kryta. Green, purple and... teal? *vomit* And the horrible abuse of Tyrian gloves...

Doomlore is a mecca for bad fashion.

@Espadon: That first warrior makes me want to tear my eyeballs out with a spork.

Well, ever on the lookout for people lacking her own eye for style, Medea encountered this monstrosity in the Maguuma Jungle (specifically, either The Wilds or Bloodstone Fen, but I can't recall which) today.

What is this terrible obsession with the Flameforged top combined with Tyrian gloves? There is simply no way to make it look good. Give it up, people. And I can't even think about the pants with those boots, let alone the manic dye job.

My previous pics seem to have died. Ah well.
There's a right sexy monk behind the funny warrior.

Here's a few I spotted yesterday while in GToB...two monks and a warrior. There was also a hideous elementalist but they left before I could get a cap.

Qing Guang · Sep 07, 2009, 03:59 PM // 15:59

I think they spawn in the GToB... Medea had a heyday there yesterday spotting particular offenders (She didn't even bother taking pictures of the ones that were just circus clown dye jobs, as they comprised 50% of the population).

First, we know Dwarf armor is meant to be combined with other ones... but you're doing it wrong.

However, she was the least of these sad folk. Next, Chaos Gloves (a no-no 90% of the time) combined with a horrible dye job. While Medea commends him for sticking to only two colors besides the Awful Gloves, she must emphasize the fact that dying the chest black and the lower body a light color draws the eyes in the wrong direction (also, a note: never dye Obsidian armor white anywhere, unless one intends to look like a zebra or a skeleton.)

This warrior seems to have the opposite problem. By combining a light skirt with a dark, strongly patterned top, 'Dea says, it yanks the eye straight to the chest. Also, the silver and gold do not get along.

The male is unspeakable. The female is fine, aside from being associated with the male and wearing maroon with that remarkable shade of hair.

Apparently the GToB is a haven for aliens. There was one more, a female necromancer, but Medea appreciated the costume's creativity, despite the completely bizarre appearance, and by the time she resolved to take her picture the woman had vanished. These two quite make up for it, though.

Lastly, the GToB seems to have a small but visible population of working girls. The first is only debatably wearing an ugly armor combination, given that she is wearing only 2 articles of clothing, but she did not attempt to don more, and that fact, combined with her expression, forced Medea to accept that the girl intended to be dressed in such a manner. The only puzzling thing about the right woman are her gloves... she must have an... interesting clientele.

Saw this guy at Rata Sum. :P

More of Medea's adventures!

Further proof that extratyrians live among us:

Two in one shot... nice! Barney the Warrior here actually makes that paragon look decent...

General bad taste. Medea has decided to give up on trying to catch everyone wearing GWEN gloves and hats in ways they shouldn't, but this particular offender just had to be recorded. What a waste of a perfectly nice coat!

On the plus side, notes Medea, at least she isn't biased in favor of any single element.

Aaaand the shadier side of GToB (literally, in the case of the first girl). Note the poorly-dressed john accompanying the mesmer. At least we now know the purpose of those odd gloves.

True, though of course Gunn would strike it down as "matchy-matchy" (yes I am a gamer who watches Project Runway, shush you!). But I kind of like the goal (and I do think it was intentional - that doesn't look like plain white to me). Get blonde hair and you have a kind of Emma Frost thing going on, maybe. Also, points scored for correct use of Chaos Gloves (IE they look tolerable, even nice, with that outfit).

But you are right Pansy that it is kind of blinding if you look at it for more than a few seconds. Would be good for PvP, eh?

Miss H O T · Sep 17, 2009, 06:47 PM // 18:47

just cause he moused over her though, otherwise it would be less blinding, and possibly also less matchy matchy as you say it so fine. I'm new in this thread btw, kinda like it XD

The horrors ive seen flipping through the pages... congrats

Not sure what they were going for but fail never the less.

This armor combo never fails to amuse me.

Asphyxiat · Sep 19, 2009, 11:31 AM // 11:31

Was chilling in LA and spotted this guy. hey at least he's wearing the same type armour, just a shame about the colours. + silly looking helmet.

Wow what are some of these people thinking? I wonder if they design such weird combos in the hopes they'll end up on this thread, or to get attention. rofl
