tackiest

Least classy option

Tackiest is the superlative of tacky—the most cheap-looking, gaudy, or lacking in taste.

It describes something at the extreme end of aesthetic misjudgment: the tackiest souvenir shop on the boardwalk, That's the tackiest Christmas sweater I've ever seen.

Tackiest can also mean the most socially inappropriate or classless: the tackiest thing you could possibly say at a funeral.
