worst dressed

Style's bottom rung

Worst dressed describes someone judged to have the poorest taste in clothing, typically in a specific context or comparison group.

The phrase appears most often in entertainment media rankings: She landed on the worst dressed list at the Oscars.

It can also be used casually to describe anyone whose outfit misses the mark: I was the worst dressed person at the party.
