The wierdest fasions that never existed

Inspired by the "blue skin as a fasion statement" thread. Xome up with the most bizare AH fasions you can think of.
 
tearing off the bottom half of your right pant leg. i thought this would be an interesting fashion for a futuristic world ever since there were times when my right pant leg would get caught in my bicycle's gears :D

I have a pair of pants that unzip at the knees to become shorts.
 
In a world where the airplane is invented before the automobile goggles, scarfs and leather 'bomber' jackets will become common everyday wear. Imagine WW1 fighter aces everywhere.
 
upscale all-day-usage "cartoonish" or otherwise expressive fake teeth, to be worn over existing teeth or in lieu of dentures.
 
Those stupid things that some tribe that I don't recall is doing when they cut their lower lip and/or ears and than put into them wooden round circles, and the older the tribe member is the bigger the piece of wood is. Someone can defend it with the argument "it is their culture" but the level of bizarre in this case is off the charts.
 
Burgundian court fashion of the 15th century

Among the most extravagant fashions was the court fashion at the Burgundian court under Philip the Good in the 15th century. It is only rivaled by the court of young Louis XIV.

Cossack-style shaved heads with topknots as the height of formal Western fashion. Derived from Cossack mercenaries in French service (rather like the cravat was picked up from Croatian soldiers).
 
The long tie with the Windsor Knot. How did this Croatian affectation take over the world? And how did it become commonplace in the Southern US and Northern Australia? Nothing makes you sweat like a tie.

If men are expected to defend themselves, the long tie is an invitation invitation for enemies to choke you. Our Victorian ancestors wore ties more like the bow tie and bolo tie. Much safer.
 
In my Newton's Radio I mention some alternative fashions,

Due to Joffrism (an alternative Darwinism) getting mixed up with nonconformist churches a strong movement for Truth in clothing arose, add in a revival of celts, Americans (OTL indians) and other noble savage sort of clothing and we get: Respectable religious nudism, banned cosmetics, Kilts, beech clouts
And naturally in time the reaction of the young (in this time line called the Fey Folk): Obvious cosmetics, high heels elaborate clothing, padded codpieces and bras etc.
