Oh, SkyMall. Our oldest and most bizarre friend of the skies. Ever since we first started flying, the flimsy booklet has shown us nothing but jaw-droppingly strange and terrible items as we wait to reach cruising altitude and electronic devices are allowed again. Of course, we've never actually even come close to buying anything from SkyMall's pages, but we feel like we owe it to them to round up the gear that's so bad it's almost good.
From a Bane-like mask to a shorts that have a beer can pocket, these are the clothes that'll make you pause, but won't ever make you pull out your credit card. Still though, you have to at least acknowledge their simultaneous terribleness and slight ingenuity. In other words, here are The 10 Worst Style Items From SkyMall.
One of a Kind Shirt
Buy It Now: $100-$230
What SkyMall Says: A One Of A Kind shirt allows you to show that you're an individual, that you're a little different than everyone else and you want them to take notice of who you are. These shirts are great for a night on the town, frat parties, bachelor parties, stag parties or any other time you want to stand out in a crowd.
Faux Workpant Lounge Wear
Buy It Now: $20
What SkyMall Says: Cleverly printed with a photorealistic set of tools, gadgets and a tough leather toolbelt, these soft lounge pants are just the thing for handymen -- or as a gag gift for not-so-handymen.
Velvet Rasta Hat
Buy It Now: $10
What SkyMall Says: Nearly a foot and a half of gorgeous dreads, with a jaunty hat perched on top. All of the cool, none of the commitment. Perfect for parties or just keeping warm.
Torso Toner
Buy It Now: $60
What SkyMall Says: Helps flatten and tone the abdomen, chest and upper back. Eliminates toxins through sweat. Upper back coverage for back compression and correct posture. Stretchable powernet layer for strong compression and shaping. Cotton layer and front closing for comfort. You can use it daily and after a surgical procedure.
Subzero Warm Breath Mask
Buy It Now: $60
What SkyMall Says: This is the fleece mask preferred by high-altitude mountaineers and Antarctic scientists because it humidifies and warms winter air for comfortable breathing.
Beverage Beer Can Shorts
Buy It Now: $40
What SkyMall Says: Not just a frame of mind, Beer Can Island is a place on the map. Sandwiched between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean in Miami Beach, Florida USA, travelers rendezvous at Beer Can Island and barbecue, swim and tell jokes. This short captures the essence of all the good times experienced by so many travelers over so many years on this rock in the middle of the bay.
