fashion faux pas
Wardrobe misstep observed
A fashion faux pas is a clothing or style choice that violates accepted taste or current trends—wearing white after Labor Day, mismatched patterns, or outdated looks.
The phrase borrows from French (faux pas means "false step") to describe social missteps generally, but fashion faux pas specifically targets wardrobe blunders: Socks with sandals? Total fashion faux pas.
