Take all the conventions of proper dress and throw them out the window.  Wear Something Gaudy Day on October 17th allows you to let all your best examples of excruciatingly bad taste hang out for the world to see.

The best way to choose something that is utterly without taste or fashion to wear, is to raid your mom and grandma’s closet.  Just kidding😊  You can find your way to thrift stores to locate out of date fashions that are rarely seen today and put together an ensemble designed to shock and appall.
